- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Paul gets the breakthrough! Length delivery outside off. van der Dussen advances, trying to tonk it into tomorrow. Gets it right off the toe-end, though, and the ball goes miles up. Klaasen at deep mid wicket judges it, comes in off the fence and completes the catch, albeit with a slight bobble! 82/115.4 Rickelton falls for 87! Slower ball on a length outside off. Rickelton tries to heave it over deep mid wicket but loses his shape in the process. Tugs at it a touch and all he manages is to chop it back onto off stump. Take nothing away from this innings, though, it has set MICT up for a big score! 150/48.6 Brevis bites the dust! Tossed up on a length on leg stump. Brevis' eyes light up and he backs away, looking to go over long on. The ball, though, is a little fuller than he expects and he cannot get the elevation he is after. Arrows it towards long on, where Breetzke dives forward to his right and clings on! 96/212.2 holes out to deep point! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Esterhuizen throws his hands at it and makes decent contact. Does not get the requisite elevation, though, and ends up hitting it straight down Paul's throat. A useful cameo, though, and it has kept MICT ticking along nicely! 128/317.4 Gleeson gets Livingstone! Dug in short just outside off and this zips through. Livingstone continues swinging like a rusty gate and perhaps does not watch the ball as closely as he should have. He is beaten for pace too, and the ball kisses the outside edge before nestling into de Kock's gloves! 173/5Extras12 (lb 2, nb 4, w 6)TOTAL207/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Rassie van der Dussen, 7.3 ov), 2-96 (Dewald Brevis, 8.6 ov), 3-128 (Connor Esterhuizen, 12.2 ov), 4-150 (Ryan Rickelton, 15.4 ov), 5-173 (Liam Livingstone, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 straight to short extra cover! Length outside off, and inviting the drive. de Kock throws the kitchen sink at it but it comes right off the toe-end. de Kock groans the moment he makes contact, and the ball loops up tamely to Curran. Massive wicket! 7/110.1 taken at long off! Curran breaks the partnership! Slower ball on a full length outside off. Breetzke cannot resist the temptation and has a pop at it. Does not delay the shot enough, though, and lobs it up towards Brevis, who takes it reverse-cupped in front of his face! 99/42.2 hot knife through butter! Length delivery on middle and leg stump that pitches and skids through. Might have nipped back a smidgen too and it went through the gap between bat and pad. Hendricks is pumped, and he should be, he has opened this game up further with an absolute corker! 12/26.1 and he picks up a wicket first ball! Hard length outside off and this zips through. Paul, looking for the pull, is awfully late on the stroke and the ball plinks off the splice. Short third man settles under it and does the rest. What a start for Stone! 52/315.5 is that the end of Klaasen's innings?! Yes, it is. What an anti-climax! Thigh-high full toss at the stumps. Klaasen backs away and tries to go downtown. Shanks it completely, though, and hits it straight down Curran's throat at long off. 99 times out of 100, Klaasen would have hit that into next week. But on this occasion, he could not, and it has brought MICT back into the game! 174/613.3 Pooran picks out long off! Full outside off and Pooran thinks he can match Klaasen stroke for stroke. The shot is on but Pooran just does not get enough hang time to get it over long off. A simple enough catch for Esterhuizen, and there is a hush all around Kingsmead! 140/5Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL177/6 (16.3 Overs, RR: 10.72)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Quinton de Kock, 1.4 ov), 2-12 (Wiaan Mulder, 2.2 ov), 3-52 (Keemo Paul, 6.1 ov), 4-99 (Matthew Breetzke, 10.1 ov), 5-140 (Nicholas Pooran, 13.3 ov), 6-174 (Heinrich Klaasen, 15.5 ov)
