- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Beats the flick and hits the pad from around the wicket, lbw given right away. It is reviewed but looked out. Obbreak landed on the edge of a full and a good length around off, came back in to beat the inside edge and hit the outer-knee roll in front of middle. Hawk-Eye shows it's clipping middle, Breetzke has to ski-daddle 50/21.6 Caught-behind appeal not given. There was a definite sound, Stubbs suggests the review, Markram takes it right away. 129ks wobbler on a hard length, sixth-stump line, QDK went to fourth stump and tried to chop it when the ball was beside him. There is a spike as ball passes bat, a thin edge early into the shot. QDK tried playing it late but Worrall's hurried him and breaks through. 10/18.2 Reverse swept straight to backward point. Smuts went for the shot early, Harmer slowed the pace down to 77ks. It was skimmed just above the ground, Worrall took a low catch to give the bowler his second strike in eight balls. 65/312.4 Harmer makes the key breakthrough, gets Klaassen with the shortish ball that the batter often feasts on! It was at the stumps and the batter cleared the front leg to make room, got a top edge that went at an easy pace for a chest-high catch. Pace - 92ks. Klaassen mashes his teeth right after miscuing it. Harmer a strong POTM contender already. 90/510.6 Stoinis tries breaking free and holes out to long-on.This was fullish and outside off, there to hit, but Stoinis went on one knee and top edged a slog sweep. Easy catch for Jansen. Harmer luring him with flight and slowness works. 81/419.1 Mulder's been run out in unlucky fashion. Baartman palmed the ball in follow-through and it hit the non-striker's stumps; Mulder, who was backing up, was out of his crease. Was a yorker outside ff 151/619.6 Low full toss has been lifted straight to long-off. Pretorius got across but couldn't get under it properly, it was going away and was slashed. Went flat to Kruger. 159/7Extras0TOTAL159/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Quinton de Kock, 1.6 ov), 2-50 (Matthew Breetzke, 6.2 ov), 3-65 (JJ Smuts, 8.2 ov), 4-81 (Marcus Stoinis, 10.6 ov), 5-90 (Heinrich Klaasen, 12.4 ov), 6-151 (Wiaan Mulder, 19.1 ov), 7-159 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Third time's the charm, DSG get the lbw they were looking for. Hermann reviews. This looked out. Was it turning too much? Hermann went back and tried to pull it, missed and got on the front legm just over the knee-roll. What does Hawk-Eye show? Landed on a length outside off, turned in and the impact was just in line - umpire's call, and it would be going on to hit off. Decision stands. 41/32.6 Topley goes into the pitch and gets Malan. Shortish outswinger outside off, shaped away late and Malan tried to drag it across with a pull. Got it off the top edge, just behind the toe too, and the ball went right up. Easy catch at midwicket for Klaassen 16/14.2 Lbw appeal turned down but DSG might've had a run out. QDK is sure. Yes, Abell's walking despite it being sent upstairs. Was a full ball that beat the straight drive, it went to the left of the keeper off the deflection. Batters took off. Abell slid his bat through but was well short as the ball hit the stumps. Replays show that Hermann was walking towards the ball and it was going down leg. 19/214.2 Confident appeal for caught behind. Not given, DSG review again. Looked like a cross seamer. Into the pitch, going over middle. Markram went across, front foot was on middle, back foot outside off, and he tried to help it over short fine with bat going from down to up. Ultra-Edge detects nothing when ball is passing bat but there is a tickle off the glove along the way. Stoinis' conviction was right. Markram walks back slowly, game's open again 97/414.3 Howling lbw appeal from Stoinis, given! Kruger reviews after a longish chat. This too looked out. Scrambled seam length ball, landed around off and decked in. Beat the flick, hit the outer-edge of the front pad, just over the knee-roll. Pitching outside off, impact in line and it's clipping top of middle. Stoinis has two in two! 97/5Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL163/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.43)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Dawid Malan, 2.6 ov), 2-19 (Tom Abell, 4.2 ov), 3-41 (Jordan Hermann, 7.2 ov), 4-97 (Aiden Markram, 14.2 ov), 5-97 (Patrick Kruger, 14.3 ov)
