- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Extra pace works. 96ks ball finds the leading edge, taken at backward point. Faf made room early before having to lean across to try and turn the middle-stump length ball towards mid-on. Went with the vertical bat, hands out 2/17.3 Lack of pace and bounce has done Conway in. Got a length ball wide-ish outside off. Conway crouched but had made no further adjustments before trying to cut the ball hard. Easy catch for short third 59/210.1 A spinner has finally got through the reverse sweep. Du Plooy changed his stance early, the feet were splayed and he tried to go over short third. The 100ks length ball went past the bat swing and then hit the stumps 74/315.1 Plucked by de Kock, almost accidentally. He was standing close, Bairstow tried to cut the wide fullish ball through point. Went real hard but got a thinnish edge. Not much pace but de Kock stuck his hand out last second and it gobbled it 120/513.3 Short third takes it. Goes for the reverse slap again. Got a top edge. Can't control the bounce and Maharaj has another 106/418.6 Overpitched on leg, Ferreria wanted to slug it freelty again. But he was beaten by the pace, skied it to point in the end 153/619.3 Drags this one across, gets taken at square leg. Was a bumper around shoulder-high. But the distance to cover was too much 156/7Extras14 (b 5, lb 3, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Faf du Plessis, 0.6 ov), 2-59 (Devon Conway, 7.3 ov), 3-74 (Leus du Plooy, 10.1 ov), 4-106 (Wihan Lubbe, 13.3 ov), 5-120 (Jonny Bairstow, 15.1 ov), 6-153 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.6 ov), 7-156 (David Wiese, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 That did everything and Tahir's chugging along through mid-off in celebration! 90ks googly that drifted in and deceived King, who was walking towards the pitch of the ball, as he went for the flick. One stump taken down. Tahir has the Ronaldo jump while facing DSG's dugout and even the opponents are clapping and smiling 25/22.4 Knuckle ball and Breetzke's skied a flick to long-on. Full ball on leg stump, so the shot was on. Unlikely that the batter read it, into the shot too early 21/117.1 Coetzee's slower one has QDK cloth it oh so bad, and JSK have this oh so much in the bag. 110ks back of length, angling away outside off. QDK went across, back foot outside off and front foot diagonally in front to try and open up the V. He wanted to belt it over mid-off, who was in, but the extra bounce and slowness had him hit it off the area just below the sticker. Chunked it right up 135/96.2 That's a, um, soft dismissal... Reverse swept flat and low to the right of Tahir at backward point. The anticipation was what made the catch. He swooped, got low and clasped it with both hands. The run after that was as enthusiastic as always. Was a shortish flat ball at the pads, Mulder reversed it against the angle. 51/36.5 Big appeal for caught behind, not given. Ferreira convinced, Faf reviews early. This one went with the arm, the batter played for spin. Was close to the outside edge. Was a length ball that landed on middle and went through off and fourth. The bat-face was turned towards midwicket as he tried to flick it gently. Ultra-Edge has a spike with bat next to ball. Smith's gone 51/411.6 Appeal for strangled down leg. Not given. There was a sound. JSK review. Oh, the sound was off the bat, Ultra-Edge confirms! Good take by Bairstow, who leapt to the left and took it low. Was a full ball down leg that Klaasen wanted to whip-glance again. Feathered it. Pathirana's lack of control has been expensive but this is a big wicket 99/514.4 Turns away, past the bat, onto top of off! Shamsi is pumped! Googly on a length, landed around leg and went past the outside edge as Woakes tried to nurdle it through midwicket 120/614.6 Good shout, yes, that's given! Maharaj reviews. QDK compels him after he started walking. Was it pad first? Yep, Maharaj is a goner. Impact in line and it'd be going on to whack middle stump. Was a fullish length ball that landed just outside off and spun back in, 82ks. Maharaj planted his front foot across and tried to defend it to the bowler's left. Bat and pad jammed next to each other but the ball spun into pad and smudged bat later on. 120/715.3 They risk a second, full-length dive. Keeper collects the ball above and plonks it down onto the stumps. Uh oh, Subrayen's actually planted the bat inside the crease instead of sliding it. The gloves are hitting the stumps a frame before the toe edge met the ground. Both batters look about in sadness as it's given out, Was a back of length ball just outside off that was guided with an open-faced bat, off the back foot, towards deep third. 122/817.6 Skied... Wiese settles underneath at deep midwicket and holds on nicely. Tumbles but keeps the ball in his possession. Was a shortish ball at the stumps, the batter was just outside the crease and pulled it from around rib-height, so it won't be a no-ball for being the second bouncer of the over. Top edge finishes the game 141/10Extras11 (lb 1, w 10)TOTAL141 all out (18 Overs, RR: 7.83)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Matthew Breetzke, 2.4 ov), 2-25 (Brandon King, 3.2 ov), 3-51 (Wiaan Mulder, 6.2 ov), 4-51 (Jason Smith, 6.5 ov), 5-99 (Heinrich Klaasen, 11.6 ov), 6-120 (Chris Woakes, 14.4 ov), 7-120 (Keshav Maharaj, 14.6 ov), 8-122 (Prenelan Subrayen, 15.3 ov), 9-135 (Quinton de Kock, 17.1 ov), 10-141 (Naveen-ul-Haq, 17.6 ov)
