    4.5 Touch short and too far away from his levers, he wanted to smash that over point and gets in a tangle, loses his shape and ends up feathering it to the keeper, loud and convincing appeal, umpire heard something too and raises the finger. The dangerous Charles takes the long walk back to the pavilion, it's a vital breakthrough and some respite for Kings who will mighty pleased with the scalp. Charles just got carried away a bit, his eyes lit up with the short and wide one 40/1
    5.4 Looped up from over the wicket, too short and on leg stump, surprised him with his bag of tricks, he steps away and tries to lift it up and over extra cover but finds Primus who swoops to his left and hangs onto it brilliantly, another massive wicket in no time! Du Plessis is crestfallen, didn't expect Green to come up with such delivery and he got cramped for room in the end 42/2

    13.6 Disturbs the furniture! What a way to end your spell, picks up his fourth. Befuddles him with a lovely arm ball and Auguste plays all around it, tries to spank him across the line and missed it completely, rocked on the backfoot and Green is ahead of him, one of the finest spells of spin bowling I've seen in the history of CPL! 103/6
    5.5 Darted in on a length at middle and off, casually throws his bat it and miscues the skier, Green continues along his merry way and shows his knack of picking wickets again, it came in slightly from off and his bat turned, and Sam Billings swallows it up with ease down the ground at long-on, crowd is silent! 42/3
    11.1 Over the wicket, Green does Green things, after the long rain break, he resumes with another wicket! Cagey stuff. Length and it tails back into middle, he tries to whack that out of the park but cannot clear the fence and is caught at deep midwicket. Excellent bowling, thrives in this format. Smoothly pouched by James 84/4
    12.2 Tossed up on a length at off and it gets stuck in the surface, he leans forward and doesn't really commit to the shot, just an indecisive push at it and is undone by the flight and guile, the change in bowling works tremendously and the big power-hitter hits it straight in the air towards long-off, another fantastic catch in the outfield. Falcons have been stellar in the field today. 87/5

    18.3 Low harmless full-toss on leg, spanked neither high nor mighty, leans forward and lofts it straight into the safe hands of Fabian Allen who sprints to his left and makes it look ridiculously easy 130/7
    18.6 Greaves takes a stunning catch millimeters away from the rope! Sharp catch, tries to swat that over deep extra and almost got all of it 132/8

    4.5 Clattered the stumps! Played down the wrong line. Crowd are screaming on top of their lungs and over the moon and so is Noor who jumps in the air and is absolutely ecstatic! That was aimed full and at middle, he goes for an ambitious slog and makes a horrible mess of his stumps 28/4
    1.4 Tossed up and turning away from off-stump, gets grip and marked turn, he gets stuck deep in the crease and is strangled by the slowness, ends up reaching out and feathering it, bottom-edge, to the keeper. James showed signs of brilliance but couldn't carry on his blitz 14/1
    3.1 Round the wicket, gently tossed up on a length at middle and leg, he stays deep in his crease and gets out softly by pulling it straight into the hands of Seifert at short midwicket. Excellent catch and remarkable bowling from Pierre, but a really average shot from Billings. Both teams getting off to similar batting starts 24/2
    3.2 What! Oh my word, can you believe it? Pierre is on fire! That total looks light years away now. Beautifully tossed up outside off and it was ripping, gripping, shaking, and turning just enough to scratch the outside edge and the keeper once again steps up to the plate, held up his end of the bargain and took a sharp catch. This is a wonderful display of spin bowling! 24/3
    5.6 Shimmies down leg and tries to break the shackles but ends up spooning it straight into the hands of mid-off, the tension on the batter was palpable, the pressure told and induced a false stroke, this is going from bad to worse as the seasoned campaigner gets dismissed. A sorry looking scorecard. Poor batting from Falcons and they're showing their ineptness against spin 28/5
    15.4 Terrible botch-up! Back of a length on leg, clipped off the pads to short fine and Springer kept running towards the striker's end, he was sent back but it was too late, a calm throw to the bowler ensures there is no drama from the fielding side. Played a decent knock and was getting ready to tee off but a wicket just at the wrong time for Falcons 88/6
    17.6 Tries to seize on the full-length ball and was in the arc but he doesn't get the requisite distance, Noor ekes out another wicket. It's his 10th wicket this season. Just keeps suffocating the batters with his clever spin methods. Seifert with a cool catch running at deep midwicket 108/7
    18.1 Over the wicket, length on off, attacks it and finds the fielder at sweeper cover; Chase tracked the ball from the bat, into the air and then pouched it in his big bucket hands with a well-timed forward lunge 108/8
