- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 that's two in two. Van der Merwe the bulldog. Top of off. Salt looks to cut a length ball. Too full. And the bounce in the pitch beats the top edge. Both opens gone 33/23.6 slower ball? He has sent it up miles. Mendis is looking to go over mid-off but is early into the shot. Markram takes the skier at mid-off. Doesn't look like the slower ball. Just the steep bounce 33/17.3 The Bulldog strikes again at The Bullring. This is a stunner. A legspinner would be proud of it. On a length, pitches on leg, slow in the air, and then it bites off and turns past his inside edge to take the top of off. Caught on the crease there 66/46.6 Magala has the last laugh. This is a big wicket. The slower ball does it. Corrects the length. Gets good bounce from just short of a good length. Rossouw still goes after it, and ends up offering a low catch to extra cover 64/314.3 top of off again. Spinners have done this three times today. Fired in by Markram on middle, Ingram is caught on the crease, and the ball turns past his edge to bowl him 101/516.2 just the innings you don't want. He has chewed 20 balls for his 19, and has got out the first time he tries to tee off. Again the extra bounce from this surface. He tries to slog, gets the length, but the bounce takes the top edge and Rossington takes a good catch running back 113/617.5 lightning stumping from Rossington. Big wicket. Bosch jumps out of the crease, van der Merwe stays quick and beats his outside edge. My word, what a quick stumping. Even though he has some time to spare here 127/718.1 that is a team hat-trick. To be fair this is a ball asking to be hit. Wide half-volley, Parnell looks to clear mid-off, but manages only an outside edge to the left of Rossington. Another dismissal for him 127/917.6 oh what an over. Van der Merwe with a spot-on yorker to take out the leg stump. What a bowler. He is pumped up. Two wickets in an over at the death 127/819.3 another slower ball, and Rashid gets a bottom edge on the sweep. Jansen has made sure there are no late runs 135/10Extras9 (lb 3, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL135 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.92)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Kusal Mendis, 3.6 ov), 2-33 (Phil Salt, 4.1 ov), 3-64 (Rilee Rossouw, 6.6 ov), 4-66 (Theunis de Bruyn, 7.3 ov), 5-101 (Colin Ingram, 14.3 ov), 6-113 (James Neesham, 16.2 ov), 7-127 (Eathan Bosch, 17.5 ov), 8-127 (Migael Pretorius, 17.6 ov), 9-127 (Wayne Parnell, 18.1 ov), 10-135 (Adil Rashid, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.1 ends a superb Rossington innings. Extra bounce on this short ball. Takes the top edge on the pull, and Salt runs back to take the catch. But Rossington has ended the contest, it would appear 103/31.2 they have got the anchorman. And the anchorman is not doing anchorman things. He tries a big slog square on the leg side, and is beaten on the inside edge. Actually plays it on. Inwards movement for Bosch 11/16.4 runs past a wrong'un. Rashid still has time to show his class. Hermann down the wicket, Rashid gets good dip on this, and then it turns out he has not picked the wrong'un. Stumped. Hermann has done a job, but not completed it. Do PC have any hope left? 78/212.3 PC are alive in this. Markram fails to see it through. Looks to go against the turn and over mid-on, but gets too close to it. Doesn't get the elevation, and is caught at mid-on 113/415.3 lovely catch. Neesham has one for the highlights reel again. Paul Collingwood-style. Extra bounce on a length ball, goes off the outside half of the bat, to the left and high of Neesham of short cover. he turns his body, wins himself time, but has to go with the right hand. And he catches it. PC still alive. Nortje level with van der Merwe for most wickets in the tournament 126/613.2 oh Neesham has picked a wicket. It is not a wicket-taking ball, I tell you. In the slot, on the pads, no change of pace. This can go for a six, but he is early into the shot, and gets a massive leading edge for Salt to catch running towards square leg 121/5Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL137/6 (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.38)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Temba Bavuma, 1.2 ov), 2-78 (Jordan Hermann, 6.4 ov), 3-103 (Adam Rossington, 10.1 ov), 4-113 (Aiden Markram, 12.3 ov), 5-121 (Jordan Cox, 13.2 ov), 6-126 (Tristan Stubbs, 15.3 ov)
