- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.6 yorker length outside leg. Breetzke tries to flick it off his heels over fine leg but taken in the deep 133/62.3 the reverse sweep is a bad idea! Linde overpitches it around middle and leg. de Zorzi premeditates, and misses the reverse sweep with the ball turning turning and knocking leg stump back 23/12.4 two in two! And it is de Kock for a golden duck. Linde goes full just outside off. de Kock puts his front foot across the stumps and looks to work it leg-side with the turn, but it takes an inside edge onto the stumps! 23/29.5 full ball on middle. Goes for a slog sweep and shouts of 'catch it'. Brevis runs in from deep square leg and takes a terrific forward-diving catch! TV umpire wants to have a look but the catcher is confident 69/311.2 full ball on middle. Klaasen tries to play a cute paddle sweep but misses. Ball hits his pad and the lbw appeal is given out! Klaasen reviews but this is out. 77/414.4 hit wicket - Stoinis has smashed his own stumps! Short ball takes some extra bounce and Stoinis is surprised. He tries to adjust the shot so as to protect his own body, but in that process the bottom of the bat comes crashing onto the stumps. On replays it is revealed he'd have been caught out at square leg too. 94/5Extras6 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL157/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Tony de Zorzi, 2.3 ov), 2-23 (Quinton de Kock, 2.4 ov), 3-69 (JJ Smuts, 9.5 ov), 4-77 (Heinrich Klaasen, 11.2 ov), 5-94 (Marcus Stoinis, 14.4 ov), 6-133 (Matthew Breetzke, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 full ball on middle. Tries to flick it leg side but the bat's face is closed too early. Leading edge... and Stoinis takes a sharp diving catch at extra cover! Maharaj with a wicket off the last ball of the powerplay 35/22.3 sharp catch at first slip! Full ball outside off, from around the stumps. Rickleton drives away from his body and this time the edge flies to first slip who takes a reverse-cup catch near his face 17/16.6 Full ball on leg stump. The better tries to play the reverse sweep with the ball turning across the right-hander. But he makes a mess of it and it is gloved to the wicketkeeper. 39/313.3 low full toss earns Stoinis a wicket! Shin-high ball around leg stump. Curran tried to flick it off his legs over the leg side, but checks the shot slightly. Ball flies off the blade but doesn't have the distance to clear the boundary rider 87/415.2 another slot ball, this time slightly outside off. Brevis goes for the glory shot once again seeing the length, but this time the bat's face has turned. Ball goes high up in orbit but that's no trouble for deep midwicket running in. Dala makes it look very easy 98/714.4 he gets the big man! Length ball on middle. Turning away with some additional bounce too. Livingstone slashes hard at it, but all he gets is an edge into the gloves of de Kock 92/514.5 is that two in two? LBW appeal and given! This was a full ball on middle stump that dipped late and skidded through. Pollard got forward to fend but the ball hit his pad instead. Looked out at first glance but Pollard has reviewed. Maharaj saved Noor's final over for Livingstone and Pollard, and it appears the decision is turning out to be a gamechanger. Absolutely no bat. And Pollard has to go for a golden duck. 92/617.4 short length ball and Linde tries to slap it over point but can only hit it to Dala on the boundary line 107/818.3 dragged on! Pace-off ball wider outside off. Stone tries to drive but an edge brings the ball back onto the stumps. 108/9Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL121/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Ryan Rickelton, 2.3 ov), 2-35 (Rassie van der Dussen, 5.6 ov), 3-39 (Connor Esterhuizen, 6.6 ov), 4-87 (Sam Curran, 13.3 ov), 5-92 (Liam Livingstone, 14.4 ov), 6-92 (Kieron Pollard, 14.5 ov), 7-98 (Dewald Brevis, 15.2 ov), 8-107 (George Linde, 17.4 ov), 9-108 (Olly Stone, 18.3 ov)
