- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Cleans him up and Roy's misery continues! Slow, straight ball, Roy lines up for a massive slog sweep. Is beaten altogether and sees his stumps in a mess. That was not the best of shots to put it mildly and Royals have lost both their openers. 18/21.6 Has Carse pulled off a stunner? Oh, he has. Buttler is walking back! Length ball on middle and leg. Buttler gets across and mistimes his clip again. Once again, it seems the ball will fall in no man's land but Carse springs across, dives to his right and completes a one-handed stunner low to his right. 14/17.4 Drags it on and Carse celebrates! Another skiddy back of a length ball outside off. That kept a bit low as well as Lubbe looking for a big pull shot, can only chop it back onto his stumps. Just as Royals were crawling back into the game, Sunrisers strike again. 58/314.4 Goes high, very high in the air and Jansen gobbles it up! Tossed up just a touch outside off. Bosch goes for a wild slog, but does not get under it. Gets a big top-edge and Jansen at deep midwicket catches it comfortably, reverse-cupped. 92/69.2 Falls to the pull, and Royals slip further! Banged in short, Morgan looks for a hook, but has no timing on it. Probably got it off the high part of his bat and Jansen, at deep midwicket, takes a comfortable catch. The sun was right in his eye, but he did not care. 62/412.2 Oh, dear! Miller couldn't have picked out long off any better! And, Van der Merwe strikes again. Tossed up on off, he was looking to loft it inside out. But gets beaten in the flight and by the slowness of the Paarl surface. He mistimes it straight down the throat of Cox. Miller departs and Royals are firmly behind the eight-ball. 81/515.5 Two for Markram. He can't put a foot wrong today! Fired in on leg stump. Jones comes down the track, gives himself room and swings it away. But he is nowhere near it and ends up mistiming it. The ball goes very high into the sky and deep midwicket fielder catches it easily. 96/7Extras12 (lb 10, w 2)TOTAL127/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Jos Buttler, 1.6 ov), 2-18 (Jason Roy, 2.3 ov), 3-58 (Wihan Lubbe, 7.4 ov), 4-62 (Eoin Morgan, 9.2 ov), 5-81 (David Miller, 12.2 ov), 6-92 (Corbin Bosch, 14.4 ov), 7-96 (Evan Jones, 15.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 dragged on, Ngidi gets one! Slower ball, Rossington hauls across the line and thick-edges into his off pole. Beautifully bowled, the batter throws back his head to signal that he's been done. Rossington trudges off, Sunrisers lose their first 35/112.4 sliced to backward point, Fortuin has another! Pushed full and wide of the left-hander and he throws the hands, but can only skew his connection towards the man on the edge of the ring for a low catch. Sunrisers have lost both set batters in the space of four balls! 93/43.5 castled! Two in two for Ngidi! Things are going Royals' way now... Perfectly bowled cutter from round the wicket and Erwee is left groping at thin air. Fired in with a flick of the fingers and it just holds its line enough to beat his forward prod and topple off stump. Pearler 35/212.1 done in by a shooter! Speared into the pitch and Markram was back, and comprehensively beaten as the ball skidded on low into middle stump. Have Royals given themselves a glimmer of hope? 92/312.5 dragged on first ball! Cox is back in his box and Royals are still scrapping in this contest. Length ball outside off and he's slightly cramped as he attempts to cut, a fat bottom edge cannoning into the base of off stump. And now Fortuin is on a hat-trick! 93/5Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL131/5 (18.2 Overs, RR: 7.14)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Adam Rossington, 3.4 ov), 2-35 (Sarel Erwee, 3.5 ov), 3-92 (Aiden Markram, 12.1 ov), 4-93 (Jordan Hermann, 12.4 ov), 5-93 (Jordan Cox, 12.5 ov)
