- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 Brevis' luck runs out finally! The celebrations tell you the entire story. Just the pressure of it all. Slightly short, he goes back into his crease and drills the pull. But, Brevis does not get enough elevation and slams it straight down the throat of deep midwicket. Ends a struggle for Brevis. 45/31.6 Cries of catch it and Sunrisers get their first wicket! Back of length ball that skids onto Rickelton quickly. He looks to help it away, but gets it off the splice with the ball going as far as the midwicket region. The fielder runs across from mid-on and takes it comfortably. 11/14.6 Another one bites the dust! Not Brevis, but Roelofsen it is, who falls. Keeps it homing on a length on off. He dances down looking for a wild heave. Can only drag it to midwicket who takes a simple catch. 30/29.4 And, another! Sunrisers have brought out their A game today! Markram does the damage. Fires it quick on off and middle stump.. Wasn't all that short, as Curran looks to play the cut hard. Gets a thick edge and Rossington takes a very good catch behind the stumps. 52/415.1 Straight, full and Magala strikes with a pin-point yorker! Or, does he? RVD has taken the review. The umpire's finger was up straight away. Did he get an edge on it? Oh, no, he did not. RVD misses and the ball-tracker confirms the leg stump would have taken a beating. Nelson strikes. End of a sprightly knock from RVD. 111/516.5 Miscues the back of a length ball, and that will test the fielder again. But Fuller does really well to hold on. Smith was going only one way. Looks to slam it away. Ends up dragging it to deep midwicket who runs in, settles himself and takes very good catch. 124/617.6 Sunrisers keeps striking! Back of a length seam-up ball around middle and leg. He looks to flick it squarer, but gets a massive top-edge with the ball going straight up. Jansen gets around and takes a good catch around the short fine leg region. 137/719.6 Cleans him up last ball with a change of pace! Great comeback from Baartman in the last three balls. Rolls the fingers across the length ball on off. Rashid gets low to swing it away, misses and the off bail goes for a toss, and is in fact, broken. 158/8Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL158/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Ryan Rickelton, 1.6 ov), 2-30 (Grant Roelofsen, 4.6 ov), 3-45 (Dewald Brevis, 7.5 ov), 4-52 (Sam Curran, 9.4 ov), 5-111 (Rassie van der Dussen, 15.1 ov), 6-124 (Odean Smith, 16.5 ov), 7-137 (Delano Potgieter, 17.6 ov), 8-158 (Rashid Khan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 Soft dismissal, caught at mid-on to start proceedings! The pitch has been two-paced at times, it was this time. Came in a bit too. Rossington tried to push the fullish ball with a straight bat and was early on it, ended up scooping it, bottom hand came off and it was a dolly for Rabada at mid-on. First time ever there's a first-ball wicket in the SA20 0/12.3 Full ball hits pad, given LBW. Smuts reviews. Was this going outside off? It was very full, pitched around middle and off, Smuts looked to whack it over long-on. Missed it, hit him on the knee-roll of the bent back leg after missing the inside edge. It's pitching on off, coming in just a bit. Impact: umpire's call, wickets: umpire's call. Smuts shakes his head as he walks, the fielders celebrate. Tad unlucky but it may have shaped in just a bit. Curran on a roll. 9/212.1 Massive LBW appeal, umpire takes his time... and gives it. Erwee has a word and sends it upstairs. You don't sweep Rashid, do you? But is this going down leg? The full ball is pitching on leg, spins in just a bit and just over half of the ball is hitting leg stump. Three reds. Erwee went for the hard sweep, missed it and has to leave, he's disappointed but gets a rousing reception from the home crowd. 101/313.2 Of course, Markram middles it perfectly even when he holes out. Got a short ball at the body, picked it and went bang. The ball went flat and deep midwicket was perfectly placed to catch the bullet 107/419.1 Keeper celebrates, Odean looks disappointing. Stubbs is walking, kicking the ground and punching his bat furiously! Back-of-a-length missile, absolutely sizzled off the pitch. Stubbs went for the pull. Got a thin under edge. Another twist. 154/613.5 Huge LBW appeal, turned down early. Goes to the short-third fence. Review taken. Looked plumb if there was no edge. Bat has hit pad as he went to flick the full ball pitching around off and coming in. The seam was curving in, the bat hit pad and turned 90 degrees, the outside edge was facing the bowler. Three cherry reds. Impact was on middle, hitting inner-half of leg stump. Odean Smith might just have turned this on its head. 109/5Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL162/6 (19.3 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Adam Rossington, 0.1 ov), 2-9 (JJ Smuts, 2.3 ov), 3-101 (Sarel Erwee, 12.1 ov), 4-107 (Aiden Markram, 13.2 ov), 5-109 (Jordan Cox, 13.5 ov), 6-154 (Tristan Stubbs, 19.1 ov)
