    8.3 swept to midwicket! Moeen falls after a frustrating stay all this while. Noor bowled much fuller than the previous ball, and around sixth stump. Moeen's slow start meant he had to make up, and he tried doing that by going for the slog sweep and hitting across the line. But there was no timing or placement in that shot, and the ball went right into midwicket's lap 45/3
    0.3 chipped to mid-on! A good, low catch by du Plessis. Gurbaz came down the pitch early, and this dipping ball ended up like a low full toss, as the ball angled into the stumps. Eventually, Gurbaz almost seemed cramped as he looked to loft, and ended up offering an opportunity to the Kings captain 1/1

    7.1 bowled him! Chase strikes first ball! On a short of a length just outside off, and barely a hint of turn back in for Chase. Hope went for the pull, but the ball also kept low to strike the edge of the off the stump. Kings keep Warriors in check 34/2
    10.3 sliced to deep point! The in-form Noor gets the big fish. Noor slowed it down, and bowled on a fullish length around sixth stump. The ball was drifting away, even as Hetmyer went launching at it to clear the off-side boundary. But the ball flew off the outside half of the bat, and went right into an approaching deep-point fielder 54/4
    16.1 superb catch by Siefert! Or not? Hang on... Paul is still waiting for the decision from the umpires, who decide to ask for help from their TV colleague. Yup, Paul walks back eventually. Siefert flings himself to his right, and first took it only into his right glove. Replays, though, show there is a fumble, as the ball pops out, before Siefert gobbles it close to his chest with both his hands involved this time. Joseph had bowled a slower ball on a length, but on a wide line outside off. Paul went launching at it, but seemed beaten by the lack of pace, as he got an outside edge 88/6
    13.2 nicely taken by Auguste! Placed at point, he throws himself to his right to catch the ball, even as it was dipping on to him. The ball nearly dropped off his fingers, but Auguste did well to hold on. Short of a length from Forde to Sinclair, with the ball being wide of off. The batter went for the cut, and will feel unlucky with Auguste having held on 69/5
    17.1 full and fast around middle and off. Reifer looks to slog sweep but is beaten, and Noor appeals for lbw. It is turned down, but Kings review! There is no bat involved, as Reifer is beaten on the bottom edge. The ball lands on a fullish length on off, while dipping on to the batter, who is down on his back knee. And ball tracking thinks that the ball would have hit the leg stump after turning in, so Reifer has to go 97/7

    19.5 is it an above-waist no-ball? Is it out, given the ball was taken at long-on? We'll have to wait to confirm all of those. It is not a front-foot no-ball, to begin with. And the ball is clearly below his waist, even as it is a full toss. Joseph, at long-on, leaped on the boundary to catch the ball. But realising that he was falling over, popped the ball back in the air, crossed the line, and took it back in the field of play. So that ends a potentially match-defining cameo 134/8

    7.2 a confident appeal for caught behind, and given out belatedly. But du Plessis reviews! The ball stayed low yet again, as Moeen bowled on a full length around sixth stump. Du Plessis, though, was into his attempted shot already. And, guess what, there is a little tickle off the toe-end of the bat, even as Hope took a wonderful catch by going low and following the ball 45/2
    3.5 bowled him! Shepherd breaks through an incredibly successful opening pair. Charles gets a bottom edge on to leg stump, and Shepherd is up in celebration. He bowled on a length, and wide of off, although not at full pace. Charles went driving away from his body, without any foot movement. The ball took the bottom edge of the bat, and he chopped on 23/1
    8.5 bowled him! The ball skids through to strike the stumps, sending Sinclair cartwheeling! He bowls on a short of a length, angling it in from around the wicket. The ball landed on leg stump, and as Auguste looked to cut it away with his front leg out of the way, the ball, bowled much quicker, hit his back leg and went on to tickle the stumps 49/3
    9.5 another confident appeal, and given out again! And, and... Seifert reviews too! We begin again: this is not a no-ball. The ball is on the shorter side of a length, and angled in. It lands on off, and there is no inside edge as Seifert looks to punch at it. And ball tracking shows that the ball would seam in sharply and just brush the side of the leg stump. So it is umpire's call, and the on-field call stands. Seifert walks back frustrated, as Warriors keep striking regularly 51/4
