Colin Munro: "A little bit of relief. Pretty nice to get a big score. It was just about assessing conditions with Alex Hales. I've batted with Alex a number of times... we had a good partnership. When we were none down for 70 or 80, the bowlers bowled in our zones. Lucky enough to come off today. It's competitive every time you get over 200. To be honest, we capitalised on some bad bowling up front. If we can hit the right lines and lengths, we'd be okay."

12.42pm More than half of TKR's total of 231 comes from Munro's bat. He thumps 120 off 57 balls - that is a strike rate of 210 - in what was a chanceless innings. The ball especially flew off his bat down the ground, as he got plenty of rewards in that region. With every hit, he grew further in confidence as TKR rode on Munro's dominant knock. Good support from Hales in what was a century opening stand, as STKNP are set a huge 232 to win. Join us in ten.

Holder to Munro, OUT, taken at extra cover!! Rossouw ends up with a few steps behind where he was placed, as Munro ends up slashing aerially. It was another short ball from Holder, but this time Munro almost seemed to be cramped for room as the ball skidded on to him. He looked to swat it away, but mistimed it in the end
