- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 And Jones strikes! It's short again, Hermann lofts a pull shot towards square leg, but Vilas moves nicely to his left and tumbles while taking a good catch 91/32.4 Given! Lubbe doesn't give the stumps away, such good bowling. Malan goes for the big sweep shot, but gets hit in front of the stumps. Malan has a chat with Hermann, they decide not to review, and rightly so, I think. That looked to be heading straight for middle and leg stump 8/110.6 Finally, Shamsi gets his man! He takes the catch and smashes it into the ground. Abell went for the slog sweep again but because this was the googly, the top edge went straight up, Shamsi settles underneath it and takes it nicely 85/215.3 Big wicket! Slower ball, keeps it full but takes it wide of off, Markram follows it and looks to loft it over extra cover, but he was too early into the shot, and spoons it straight up in the air, Fortuin runs to his left from extra cover and takes it nicely 121/4Extras22 (b 1, lb 1, nb 5, w 15)TOTAL208/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Dawid Malan, 2.4 ov), 2-85 (Tom Abell, 10.6 ov), 3-91 (Jordan Hermann, 12.1 ov), 4-121 (Aiden Markram, 15.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Dawson gives Sunrisers the big wicket! It's back of a length, turning away from Roy, he looks to flat bat it straight down the ground, but can't keep it on the floor, and Dawson takes it smartly in the follow through 68/112.5 What a moment in the game! Boland Park is silenced. Sunrisers have not given much away in the last couple of overs, and now they get Buttler trying to manufacture a six to a a stright yorker, he only manages to dig it out straight to Abell at long-on, who takes it easily 111/213.5 Dawson has the last laugh! Tosses ut up full and on off stump, Miller has not timed that at all, as he looked to slog it over cow corner, and finds Hermann at deep midwicket 116/316.2 Great catch from Markram! Slower ball, full and wide again, swipe from van Buuren and he top edges it towards mid-off, Markram runs to his right from extra cover, and puts in a slide and pouches this one. Swanepoel is jumping for joy, and the Sunrisers are edging closer to their top two finish 129/515.3 Jones's struggle is over. Wide yorker attemped by Jansen, Jones goes across his stumps and sees the ball in the slot to belt over long-off, he doesn't get enough bat on it, and then Abell runs in from long-off and takes it nicely 125/417.1 Soft dismissal! Slower, short and wide from Worrall, Vilas just guides it straight to Harmer's hands at short third 137/618.6 A stunning night for Jansen finishes with a wicket! No pace on it from Jansen, Lubbe looks to ramp, because there's no pace he can only lob it straight to Malan at short fine leg 149/7Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL164/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Jason Roy, 7.3 ov), 2-111 (Jos Buttler, 12.5 ov), 3-116 (David Miller, 13.5 ov), 4-125 (Evan Jones, 15.3 ov), 5-129 (Mitchell Van Buuren, 16.2 ov), 6-137 (Dane Vilas, 17.1 ov), 7-149 (Wihan Lubbe, 18.6 ov)
