Tristan Stubbs: "Aiden made my job quite easy. Just tried to get him on strike, and he was batting beautifully. Towards the back end, he got a few overs going. He kept going like that. It worked well together. We've got to bowl well. It gets slower."
2.32pm Pretty much a one-man show for SEC, as their captain Markram smashes 82 off 49 balls in their total of 175. Crawley and Abell got off to starts, but gave it away, while Stubbs struggled his way to 28 off 26 balls. It seemed like a slow pitch where the ball was stopping - especially from the spinners - so Markram's aggression made up for Stubbs' mistimed shots. Anyway, PR have 176 to chase to start their season with a win, and I'll be with you in ten.

Maphaka to Jansen, OUT, pocketed at deep midwicket! Jansen was sitting deep in the crease, and even went across the stumps. Maphaka chose to go on the shorter side of a length, and got this slower ball to shape away and finish around sixth stump. Jansen went thumping at it with a hard pull, but couldn't clear the boundary

Maphaka to Jansen, no run, short delivery on the stumps, and shaping away. Some extra bounce for Maphaka, and Jansen lets it go. Not called a wide, much to the surprise of Jansen

Maphaka to Jansen, FOUR, throws his bat at this wide-ish ball on a yorker length, and gets it away in the gap between the keeper and short third. The ball was angling across Jansen, who reached out with a flat bat

Maphaka to Jansen, no run, change of pace, and very full on middle and leg. He goes swinging, but gets an edge rolling towards Karthik

Maphaka to Markram, OUT, taken by Hain! A back-of-the-hand slower ball on a fullish length on the stumps, as Markram went ramming it down the ground. But seemingly beaten by the lack of pace, he eventually only ended up skying the ball very high. Hain, at long-off, grabbed it after judging it well

Maphaka to Markram, FOUR, swatted over point! A free swing of the arms by Markram, who gets a short-of-a-length ball on middle, which shapes away to finish wide-ish of off
Maphaka will bowl the final over
Muhle: "That Markram between-the-legs shot from the yorker was more impressive than the switch hit"

Galiem to Stubbs, 3 runs, reverse scooped over short third! Good chase by the man at short third, with Mujeeb being the bowler. It was a length delivery around sixth stump, with the ball breaking away from him. Stubbs rode the bounce, though, and mauled it away

Galiem to Markram, SIX, launched down the ground! Change of pace, and on a length just outside off. Markram is standing on leg stump, but gets enough room to swing it away for six
Stoffels: "First van Muuren underruns it. Then he overruns it. 3rd time's a charm?"

Ngidi to Markram, 2 runs, missed opportunity! A legcutter on a short of a length on off, and it seams away. Markram goes slashing, and ends up ballooning it for van Muuren at deep point. He comes forward, but seems to have overrrun, before looking to dive to his right and missing

Ngidi to Markram, FOUR, lovely drive! Only great timing, and not much else. Markram sees there is one slower ball too many, as it arrives on middle and leg. Markram stays leg side of the ball, and drives between the bowler and mid-off
