- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 pitched up on the stumps, possibly a slower ball from Wiese. He has Gurbaz holing out at long-on in the last over of the powerplay. The ball isn't coming on and Gurbaz can't manufacture enough power or elevation. Replays suggest that it was the knuckle ball from Wiese 53/24.6 Noor has Azam splicing a sweep to short fine leg. Slower through the air and just a shade outside off, with some bounce, Azam aims for the sweep again but can just top-edge it to Pierre. End of an all-action first over from Noor 49/116.3 Wiese has Hope caught by Faf at point. On-pace full ball outside off, low full-toss in fact, sliced away in the air. Faf snags the catch at point as the two South Africans do the job for Kings 179/414.2 slower cutter on off, 119.3kph, Joseph challenges Hetmyer to manufacture all the pace for himself. Nice little offcutter, Hetmyer swings and skies it to mid-off, where Faf takes a sharp catch, falling on his back 138/319.1 pitched up and on the stumps, caught by Wiese at long-on. Another well-judged catch in the deep from Wiese. Shepherd gets more height as opposed to distance. Wiese runs across, gets into a side-on position once again, and takes this skier even though the ball swirls away. This might've been a slower one from Joseph 200/717.3 Stunning tag-team catch at the boundary from Wiese and Pierre . Wiese goes for the catch with both hands at the long-on boundary although he isn't in a stable position. He's side-on. He collects the ball but the momentum takes him beyond the boundary. Before he tumbles beyond the rope, he has the presence of mind to flip the ball back to long-on. Pierre is alert enough to take it on the rebound. This was another stock ball from Noor. Full and turning into the stumps, Paul backs away, drags it in the air and is caught. That it's a catch is down to the sheer brilliance of Wiese, who has also done this in the IPL. Pierre gives Wiese a thumbs-up. What a play! 186/518.6 slower ball, hip-high delivery outside off, Moeen pulls it in the air, caught by Pierre on the rebound. Pierre lines up for the catch at the edge of the fence, takes it with both hands, but the momentum carries him beyond the boundary. He throws the ball up and then jumps back into the field of play to snag it on the rebound. Pierre has had a rough day with the ball but has been sensation in the field.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Skied... Tahir takes the high catch and the crowd goes wild! The noise is fantastic. Was a 90ks ball around a back-of-length stock ball, flat trajectory. Charles made room, as he has to most balls, and tried to slog sweep it on one knee. But the bounce ensured ball hit high on the bat. Tahir took a handful of steps back from square leg, kept eyes on the ball and went down with the ball. Arms aloft, everybody happy 17/15.5 on a length and angling in from round the stumps, stops on the surface. Auguste is a bit early into his leg-side shot and chips a leading edge to Motie at cover. Regulation catch. Time for GAW to celebrate 59/26.5 ripping wrong'un from Tahir. He storms through the defences of Chase who was searching for the legbreak. Quick wrong'un, fizzes in to beat the inside edge and ping the off stump. Tahir sets off on a trademark celebratory stint 68/38.3 big-turning legbreak from Tahir. He thinks he has his man. And the finger goes up as well. Brathwaite gives Jones out caught behind. Jones, though, shakes his head and calls for a review. Fullish, starts outside off and rips away. Jones shapes for a big slog-sweep. Did he nick it behind? Yes, Ultra Edge detects a scratch. Jones has to depart 74/49.1 Oh, Immy Tahir! Catch him if you can. He also does Ronaldo's celebration. He had dived forward from short fine leg to pouch it. 45-year-old Tahir is rocking the CPL. Tossed up and turning in with some extra bounce, Seifert shapes for the sweep but can only plop it to Tahir 75/512.4 arm ball from Motie, beats the bat and strikes the front pad but it might have been slipping down the leg side. GAW review the on-field not-out call. Right, ball-tracking indicates it would have crashed into leg stump. Three reds and hence Wiese has to go. Hetmyer hugs Motie 101/613.2 Descarte has stepped on his own stumps. Bizarre play! He goes so far back that he's out hit wicket. Back of a length and sliding in from round the wicket, off go the bails even as the ball rolls through midwicket 105/7Extras8 (b 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL172/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Johnson Charles, 2.2 ov), 2-59 (Ackeem Auguste, 5.5 ov), 3-68 (Roston Chase, 6.5 ov), 4-74 (Aaron Jones, 8.3 ov), 5-75 (Tim Seifert, 9.1 ov), 6-101 (David Wiese, 12.4 ov), 7-105 (Shadrack Descarte, 13.2 ov)
