- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 gone first ball, oh my word! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that leaves the batter very late. Hendricks has a nibble at it without any foot movement and feathers it through to the keeper. What a start this is for the Capitals! 0/16.1 and Neesham answers the Capitals' clarion call! Length delivery outside off stump that might have just moved away a shade. du Plessis has a waft at it without much foot movement and gets a thick outside edge that is snaffled up by Salt! 70/34.1 du Plooy bites the dust! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that gets onto du Plooy a lot quicker than he expects. He advances and has a hack across the line, only managing a tame splice to mid on in the process! 53/27.3 chops it on! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. Verreynne looks to force it through the off side but his cut stroke lacks conviction, and footwork. In the end, he drags it onto off stump, and the Capitals are now firmly in the ascendancy! 74/56.3 two in the over! Neesham is on fire! Not quite a picture-book dismissal but Neesham will not mind. Angled down the leg side and all Gregory has to do is tickle it past the keeper. Instead, he helps it off the face of the bat towards Salt, who flies to his left and completes a smart catch! 70/410.6 cleans up Ferreira with a beauty! Flighted beautifully on a length on middle and off stump. Ferreira's eyes light up and he looks to tonk that into next week. However, he does not quite gauge the flight properly and is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. It spins past the bat and then pegs back off stump! The Super Kings are EIGHT DOWN now! 90/88.6 miscued and Nortje pouches it at third man! Full and angled into the batter on middle and off stump. Shepherd has an ugly swipe across the line and gets a massive leading edge that arrows towards third man. Nortje races in off the fence, slides forward and completes the catch! 77/69.4 soft dismissal, oh dear! Slower delivery on a length on middle and leg stump. Coetzee has no clue about this one and it also seems to stop in the surface considerably. Coetzee dangles his bat and pops it straight back to the bowler! 78/711.4 oh, what a catch! Stop the press, I simply cannot believe that! Slower delivery on a full length outside off stump. Joseph throws his hands at it and slices it towards backward point. For the longest time, it seems as if the ball is going to evade Neesham at backward point. Well, until he decides to channel his inner superhero, soar to his left and pluck it out of thin air, one-handed! No adjective can ever do justice to that catch! 96/915.4 that will be that for the innings! Googly flighted on a full length on middle and off stump. Burger looks to go inside out but is not to the pitch of the ball. In the end, he chips it straight to short extra cover 122/10Extras9 (lb 4, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL122 all out (15.4 Overs, RR: 7.78)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Reeza Hendricks, 0.1 ov), 2-53 (Leus du Plooy, 4.1 ov), 3-70 (Faf du Plessis, 6.1 ov), 4-70 (Lewis Gregory, 6.3 ov), 5-74 (Kyle Verreynne, 7.3 ov), 6-77 (Romario Shepherd, 8.6 ov), 7-78 (Gerald Coetzee, 9.4 ov), 8-90 (Donovan Ferreira, 10.6 ov), 9-96 (Alzarri Joseph, 11.4 ov), 10-122 (Nandre Burger, 15.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 straight to deep point! Full delivery on middle and off stump. Jacks backs away and looks to carve it over deep point. He gets decent contact but can't elevate it enough to beat the sweeper at deep point. Fairly regulation catch for du Plooy and the Super Kings have the wicket they were after! 46/14.1 oh dear, what has happened here?! Full delivery just outside off stump. Salt smacks it straight back to the bowler, who gets his boot in the way and somehow manages to deflect it onto the stumps at the bowler's end, with de Bruyn well out of his crease! What a strange dismissal, and the Super Kings suddenly have two in quick succession! 46/25.6 knocks him over! Full delivery on middle stump that might have shaped into the batter just a shade. Rossouw continues swinging but this time, does not quite pick the line or the length correctly. The ball breezes past the bat and pegs back middle stump! 70/312.4 holes out to deep point! Short, wide and that deserved to be punished. Instead, Dadswell swings too hard at it and ends up slicing it straight down deep point's throat. That might have been a change-up too, and the way Dadswell played it, he might not have picked it up. Nevertheless, a consolatory wicket for the Super Kings! 121/4Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL123/4 (13 Overs, RR: 9.46)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Will Jacks, 3.4 ov), 2-46 (Theunis de Bruyn, 4.1 ov), 3-70 (Rilee Rossouw, 5.6 ov), 4-121 (Shane Dadswell, 12.4 ov)
