- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2 Marais is down on his knees and attempts another big shot, but this time misses and the ball crashes into his stumps 23/17.1 bowled him! Fortuin returns to the attack and strikes straight away. The ball just rushes on with the arm, taking the inside edge of Smuts' flashing drive to ricochet onto the stumps 70/34.1 cleaned him up! Moreki strikes straight away. It's that length he bowls so well, right up to the batsman, and Duckett heaved right across it. He lost his shape in the shot, and the stumps were rattled. That will ease tensions after the missed chance 44/216.4 big appeal, and he's gone! Shamsi fizzes one down full and straight as Kuhn set himself for yet another reverse sweep. The ball spun back in to him to beat the shot, striking him in front of the stumps. The umpire raises the finger, and Shamsi whips his boot off to dial in his trademark boot-phone celebration 146/515.1 or is it? Wiese strikes, Jonker falls, and the stand is broken! He started with a length delivery outside off, and Jonker just cut over the top of it, a thin bottom edge carrying through to the wicketkeeper Mosehle 140/417.3 leg stump is pegged back! Second walked across his stumps, looking to glance, but Paterson aimed in a full, fast one at the base of leg stump 150/619.1 yorked him! Paterson's yorkers have been excellent, and this one is no different. Right in the blockhole and Magala can't get his bat down quickly enough 161/719.3 easily run out. It's not runs, but wickets that we're seeing at the moment. Phangiso hit a full toss straight back at the bowler but he had to go, trying to get Morris back on strike. Paterson collected the ball, turned and threw down the stumps with Phangiso miles out 161/820 excellent finish to the over from Paterson, and Morris can't get underneath a very full ball outside off, driving to long off. They chance a third, but Dala is easily run out 168/8Extras10 (lb 6, w 4)TOTAL168/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Did not bat: Imran TahirFall of wickets: 1-23 (Marco Marais, 1.6 ov), 2-44 (Ben Duckett, 4.1 ov), 3-70 (JJ Smuts, 7.1 ov), 4-140 (Christiaan Jonker, 15.1 ov), 5-146 (Heino Kuhn, 16.4 ov), 6-150 (Rudi Second, 17.3 ov), 7-161 (Sisanda Magala, 19.1 ov), 8-161 (Aaron Phangiso, 19.3 ov), 9-168 (Junior Dala, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 finds deep midwicket. Dropped short at middle stump, and it comes on a tad slow as he rocks back for the pull. Wants to clear the boundary but it is off the low part of the bat 79/52.4 inside edge onto leg stump! Once again Davids is too slow on the ball. This is full on off stump and he gets his leg into the leg side to make room and try to drive this through cover. But he's in poor shape and the ball is too quick for his shot. 25/14.5 chipped straight to cover point! Morris with a sensationally disguised slower ball. Faf steps out early but Morris splits his fingers on this full ball to take off the pace. In the end he meets it on the full, but he's through the shot and losing balance as he makes connection 41/28.1 taken at long-on. Heino Kuhn nicely under this as it wobbled high above. A slog sweep gone wrong for Jaarsveld. This was at a length and wide outside off and he didn't get behind the line of it after the forward stride 64/311.1 Smuts dives low to his left and plucks it just off the turf. Nicely hangs a length ball up at off stump and gets it to dip quickly. Kruger looks to flick into the vacant midwicket region, but the ball turns away and floats off the leading edge 76/415.4 gets big on him and he can't slice this over short third. Short ball cramping him at a middle stump line and he's too slow on the cut and too far under this pacey delivery. Seems like a glove through to Rudi Second 105/617.5 diving catch to the left at mid-off. Short ball rises up at the batsman as he looks to make room. Hurriedly slaps at it and it sails flat to the fielder's left as he goes full length and pouches this 115/816.3 Kuhn takes another high catch at long-on. Seems like another slower ball from Morris. At a length outside off and the batsman gets well under this to try and pump it over long-on. Gets a lot of height and Kuhn is forced to adjust and move backwards after coming in a touch 108/718.2 calls for it himself and just holds on. Length ball wide outside off, steps out and heaves at it as it turns away. Top edge hangs pitch side on the off side and he swivels and pouches this 117/919.3 hits middle stump. Slower ball at a length. He walks a long way into the off side and ends up getting nowhere near the ball for the flick 120/10Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL120 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.15)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Henry Davids, 2.4 ov), 2-41 (Faf du Plessis, 4.5 ov), 3-64 (Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 8.1 ov), 4-76 (Patrick Kruger, 11.1 ov), 5-79 (Aiden Markram, 11.5 ov), 6-105 (David Wiese, 15.4 ov), 7-108 (Bjorn Fortuin, 16.3 ov), 8-115 (Mangaliso Mosehle, 17.5 ov), 9-117 (Dane Paterson, 18.2 ov), 10-120 (Tshepo Moreki, 19.3 ov)
