    3.4 McCoy strikes back! Back of a length in the channel, and this seems to just jag away a smidgen, while also bouncing a touch extra. Hendricks is drawn into a flat-footed waft and feathers it through to Buttler, who does the rest! 18/1
    5.1 and he cleans up du Plessis! Hard length on middle and leg. Seems to just nip back a shade and skids through too. du Plessis has a slog across the line and is beaten by the inward movement. Swipes at thin air and hears the death rattle soon after. Ngidi is jubilant; JSK and du Plessis, not quite! 30/2
    19.5 two run-outs to end the innings! Banged in again, cramping Tahir for room. He swishes at it and misses. du Plooy goes through with running the bye this time but is well short of his ground as Buttler hits the stumps again! 134/10
    5.2 gone first ball, it is all happening here at Boland Park! Short and wide outside off, and that ought to have been punished. Madsen flashes hard at it but the only problem is that he slashes it in the general direction of van Buuren at third man, who judges it nicely and takes a smart, low catch! 30/3
    10.6 soft dismissal! Slower bumper well outside off. Bounces like a tennis ball and Moeen cannot get on top of it. Throws his hands at it anyway but all he does is spoon it straight to Ngidi at short third man. A promising partnership cut short, and JSK are now four down! 69/4
    12.1 oh dear, this is a calamity for JSK! Full on the pads. Ferreira helps it towards deep backward square leg. He is hell-bent on the second and scampers back, despite du Plooy having not moved a muscle after completing the first. Both batters are at the same end as the throw arrives. Buttler gathers, relays it to Shamsi, and that is an easy run-out at the bowler's end. Shades of what happened between Hendricks and du Plessis in the game against MICT, and this is the last thing JSK needed at this stage! 76/5
    13.3 another loud appeal, and the finger goes up in a jiffy. And we go upstairs again! Full and slanting into leg stump. Shepherd, having shuffled across, gets trapped on the crease and cannot make contact with his flick. The ball smashes into his pads, and this looks straight enough, especially because of the shuffle. No bat involved this time, and Ball Tracking has the ball hitting the inside of leg stump. That will be that for Shepherd today with the bat! 78/6
    14.3 Shamsi gets his first, and he celebrates wildly! Another wrong'un bowled full and just outside off. Invites the drive and Phangiso can only edge it. Fortuin has his wits about him at first slip and snaffles up a sharp low catch. JSK now seven down! 85/7
    17.3 Ngidi gets his third! Slower bumper on leg stump that climbs onto Williams. The ball gets too big on him and he cannot get on top of the bounce. Tries to help it fine but all he does is glove it through to Buttler. Simple catch, and Ngidi is delighted! 114/8
    19.4 comical run-out! Slower bumper on leg stump. Burger ducks under it and it seems like the plan was to run and get du Plooy back on strike. du Plooy, though, sells Burger down the river, and Burger's misery is compounded by Buttler hitting the stumps direct! 134/9

    1.4 Williams traps Roy in front! Fullish and angling into middle stump. Roy falls across a touch and then plays all around it. Gets pinned on the front pad and Marais Erasmus raises his finger. Roy has sent this upstairs, and the only question is whether this has done too much. No, it has not. Ball Tracking has the ball hitting leg stump flush, and Roy has to go! 15/1

    9.6 another raucous Tahir appeal, not given! Full on middle stump. Spins back and beats the bat again. Lubbe gets hit on the pads and Tahir is again convinced this is out. Convinces du Plessis to review, and we go upstairs.Clear gap between bat and ball. All eyes on Ball Tracking now. It comes up, and it shows the ball would have hit the inside of leg stump. Tahir has his first wicket, finally! 102/2
    10.5 Moeen gets Miller now! Fizzed through on a length on off. Sticks in the surface just a touch and straightens enough to beat the outside edge. Crashes into the top of off stump, and the Royals have lost two in quick succession! 105/3
