- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.5 cleans him up with a ripper! Googly on a back of a length on middle and off. This does not quite bounce as much but not sure if Conway picked it anyway. He has a prod at it but ends up playing well inside the line as the ball sneaks past the bat and thuds into off stump! 122/42.5 cleans him up, oh my! Full toss on middle and leg stump and du Plessis could have hit that literally anywhere. But he seems to have pre-meditated the lap and because the ball is so full, he cannot get bat on it. The ball crashes into the stumps and du Plessis has to trudge back to the pavilion! 20/18.3 holes out to long off! Another off-pace delivery on a length outside off. Chetty skips down the track, trying to generate his own pace and go over long off. Gets the elevation but nowhere near as much power. Hits it straight down long off's throat and Rashid does the rest! 58/215.3 Rabada gets Miller! Full and wide outside off stump, forcing Miller to go off-side. He throws his hands at it but ends up slicing it. Deep backward point is stationed for exactly that kind of stroke and he runs forward and dives to complete a smart take! 112/319.5 oh dear, what has happened here?! Full and way outside off stump. Milind has a swish at it and misses. Santner wants to get to the other end to take strike but Milind has not moved a muscle. The keeper relays it to Boult, who dives Jonty Rhodes-style to remove the bails, with Santner nowhere in the picture! Surely Milind should have attempted the run and sacrificed his wicket, if it came to that? 153/717.6 Bravo bites the dust! Slower delivery on a length on off stump. Bravo comes down the track and tries to tonk it into tomorrow. Does not seem to pick the slower one, though, and swings too early. Gets it right off the toe end and Pollard completes the simplest of catches at long on! 135/519.4 big shout and given! Length delivery slanted into middle and leg. Sams continues using his bat like an axe and only connects with fresh air. Gets pinned on the back leg and the umpire raises his finger. Sams reviews but this could be more in hope than anticipation. No bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that this would have clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call and Sams has to go! 153/6Extras9 (lb 7, w 2)TOTAL154/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Faf du Plessis, 2.5 ov), 2-58 (Cody Chetty, 8.3 ov), 3-112 (David Miller, 15.3 ov), 4-122 (Devon Conway, 16.5 ov), 5-135 (Dwayne Bravo, 17.6 ov), 6-153 (Daniel Sams, 19.4 ov), 7-153 (Mitchell Santner, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.2 stumped by a mile! Googly on a length outside off stump. Jahangir pre-meditates his advance down the track and gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Swings at it anyway and the ball sneaks past the bat. Conway does the rest behind the stumps and TSK keep chipping away! 90/41.2 edged and taken! What a peach! Full delivery in the channel just outside off. The ball curves away late and because it starts from the stumps, it forces Patel to play at it. He does so with a slightly closed bat face and feathers it through to Conway! 4/18.2 Taylor's struggles come to an end! Slower delivery on a length just outside off. The ball grips in the surface a touch and comes back into Taylor. He has a swipe across the line and gets rapped on the back leg, perhaps in front of off stump. Zia goes up and the umpire upholds the appeal. Taylor does not even bother with the review and he departs after a painstaking 21-ball 15, 47/212.2 Pooran has run himself out, oh, what a moment in this game! Slow and on a length outside off. Pooran pushes it towards deep extra cover and calls for two. The fielder, though, picks it up cleanly and fires a flat throw at the batter's end. Conway whips off the bails and Pooran is a yard short. Excellent fielding but not sure about the judgement of the second run there. Either it was an ill-advised second run or Pooran did not quite turn as swiftly as he would have wanted! 84/319.1 that goes miles up in the air and when it comes down, du Plessis is there to gobble it up! Length delivery just outside off stump. David's eyes light up and he has an almighty swing at it. Gets it off the toe-end, though, and the ball lobs up towards long on. du Plessis judges it to perfection, dives to his left and completes the catch! Is that the game? 134/713.3 the googly comes and Pollard has been trapped in front! What a moment in the game! Beautifully executed wrong'un that pitches on off and spins back sharply. Pollard has no clue about it, planting his front foot and prodding at it. The ball rips past the inside edge and smashes into the pads. The umpire gives it out but Pollard wants to have another look. This could be curtains, though, unless he has hit it. The bat, pad and the ball are very close together on impact but it seems as if the bat might have hit the pad, hence explaining the spike on Snicko. The third umpire says that he does not have conclusive evidence to say that Pollard has nicked it. Ball Tracking then confirms that the ball would have thundered into the stumps. Mohsin has two in two and MINY are suddenly in a spot of bother! 90/516.6 Hammad perishes! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Hammad waits an eternity for it before finally having a pop at it. Gets decent power on it but because the ball is so slow, he cannot quite get the elevation he desires. Arrows it towards long off, where du Plessis runs to his right and snaps up a sharp chest-high catch with his fingers pointing upwards! 115/619.2 Rabada bites the dust too! Two in two for Sams! Slower delivery on a length outside off. Rabada tries to tonk it into next week but loses his shape completely. Shanks it and the ball floats to long off, where du Plessis completes a much easier catch this time out! 134/8Extras10 (lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL137/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Did not bat: Ehsan AdilFall of wickets: 1-4 (Monank Patel, 1.2 ov), 2-47 (Steven Taylor, 8.2 ov), 3-84 (Nicholas Pooran, 12.2 ov), 4-90 (Shayan Jahangir, 13.2 ov), 5-90 (Kieron Pollard, 13.3 ov), 6-115 (Hammad Azam, 16.6 ov), 7-134 (Tim David, 19.1 ov), 8-134 (Kagiso Rabada, 19.2 ov)
