    4.3 oh, what have you done, Jason Roy! Seems like a bit of a change-up, bowled very full on off stump. Roy tries to scoop it past short fine but the lack of pace means that he picks the fielder to absolute perfection. An anti-climactic end to what had been a buccaneering knock, but Roy has given the Royals the start they wanted! 62/1
    12.1 Buttler perishes too! Linde dangles the carrot on a full length on off stump, and Buttler bites. Gets done in the air and has to reach out in front of his body. The moment Buttler makes contact, he knows he has made a hash of the stroke. Drops his bat in disappointment, and long off does the rest. The Royals just losing their way a little now! 107/4
    5.1 and he gets a wicket straightaway! Hard length just outside off, and this seems to rush onto the batter. Lubbe has a hack across the line but all he does is splice it straight up. Rickelton settles under it and does the rest. Two wickets in quick succession for MICT, and this powerplay is certainly ending a lot better than it began for them! 63/2
    11.2 hot knife through butter! Beautifully-disguised wrong'un that pitches just outside off and spins back into Miller. He is eyeing the long on boundary but does not pick the variation at all. Breezes past the inside edge and off stump is flattened. Kaber is pumped, and this is a massive moment in the game! 105/3
    18.3 some serious air-time, but Curran pouches it! Another length ball outside off. This seems to stick in the surface and van Buuren is a tad early into the stroke. Goes a mile up off the toe-end. Curran has to wait an eternity at deep mid wicket and completes a smart reverse-cupped catch! 160/7
    15.1 and Kaber gets Phehlukwayo too! Looped up on a length on middle and leg. Phehlukwayo, like he did in Kaber's last over, pre-meditates the reverse. Does not have enough pace to work with, though, and the slight extra bounce means the ball skews off the top edge. Banton, reverse-cupped at backward point, completes the easiest of catches! 127/5
    15.5 Kaber has the last laugh! Flighted up full outside off, baiting Allen to go big. Allen cannot resist the temptation and has a pop at it. Slices across it, though, and the ball might have also come off the bottom part of the bat. Brevis, looking into the sun at long on, keeps his eyes on the ball and does the rest! 135/6

    19.5 full and wide outside off. Fortuin clinks it to long off. Ngidi decides to hare back for the second but is always struggling. Brevis' pick-up is clean and his throw is accurate. Curran collects one-handed and whips off the bails. But hang on, there is more drama because....Curran has overstepped! 168/8
