- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 caught at mid off! Back of a length delivery angled into the batter. This one hurries onto Rossington too and he does not quite get the elevation he wants. He hits it towards mid off, where Miller times his jump to perfection and snaffles up the chance! 4/15.4 finds the edge this time! No need for DRS! Back of a length delivery just outside off stump. Hermann comes down the track and looks to bash it over the off side. But all he can do is feather it through to Buttler, who makes absolutely no mistake! 30/215.3 huge appeal, and given! Very full delivery on middle and leg stump. Smuts has a mow across the line but has perhaps picked the wrong ball to do so. The ball, because of the length, sneaks under his bat and smashes into the pads. Shamsi appeals and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. But hang on...Smuts wants to have another look at this! The only thing that can save him is if this pitched outside leg. Nothing on Ultra Edge, and three reds on Ball Tracking! Smuts has to go! 102/412.2 cleans him up! Hard length on off stump that does not bounce as much as Markram expects it to. He has a swipe across the line but is beaten by the lack of bounce, and also by the pace. The ball breezes past the bat and flattens off stump! Markram has a long gaze at the pitch but has to make the long walk back! 74/317.5 in the air and taken at long on! Full and outside off stump. Stubbs continues to look downtown but toe-ends it very terribly. The ball arrows towards long on, and this time, the fielder makes absolutely no mistake! Massive moment in the game! 113/519.3 taken at long off! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface. Jansen looks to straight-bat it over long off again but this time, he is hitting against the wind. He gets a decent piece of it but the ball holds up in the air and Bosch does the rest at long off! 124/718.4 chops it on! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that holds in the surface and just does not arrive. Fuller comes down the track and swings like a rusty gate. He loses his shape completely and ends up chopping it back onto his stumps! 116/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL130/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Adam Rossington, 0.5 ov), 2-30 (Jordan Hermann, 5.4 ov), 3-74 (Aiden Markram, 12.2 ov), 4-102 (JJ Smuts, 15.3 ov), 5-113 (Tristan Stubbs, 17.5 ov), 6-116 (James Fuller, 18.4 ov), 7-124 (Marco Jansen, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 straight up in the air, and taken! Length delivery outside off stump. Roy comes down the track and looks to go over the bowler's head. The ball, though, holds in the surface and Roy is early into his stroke. The ball lobs up off the toe-end and Erwee makes no mistake at mid off! 46/112.5 knocks him over! Oh my, what a moment in the game! Slowed up on a length on middle and leg stump. Buttler hangs back in his crease and tries to manoeuvre it into the off side. He is just too early on the stroke, though, and misses a straight ball. It then crashes into middle and leg stump, and van der Merwe is absolutely pumped! 80/46.4 huge appeal, and given! Very full delivery on middle and off stump. Lubbe tries the cheeky reverse sweep but makes a hash of it. He picks the wrong length too, before missing the ball and getting rapped on the pads. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger but Lubbe wants to go upstairs! Nothing on Ultra Edge, and the impact returns as Umpire's Call. The ball, according to Ball Tracking, would have hit the stumps too and Lubbe has to walk back! 49/211.2 in the air, and taken comfortably! Length delivery on middle and leg stump that sticks in the surface. van Buuren, like many before him, closes the bat face too early and spoons it off the leading edge towards extra cover, where van der Merwe does the rest! 72/314.2 holes out to deep backward square leg! Length delivery on leg stump. Phehlukwayo has a swing at it and gets decent enough contact. The only problem, though, is that he hits it straight down Fuller's throat at deep backward square leg! 91/5Extras3 (lb 2, nb 1)TOTAL131/5 (18.5 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Jason Roy, 5.5 ov), 2-49 (Wihan Lubbe, 6.4 ov), 3-72 (Mitchell Van Buuren, 11.2 ov), 4-80 (Jos Buttler, 12.5 ov), 5-91 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 14.2 ov)
