- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Miscues the skier! Shimmies down leg and tries to get on top of the short ball, rolls his wrists and takes the aerial route but he is caught at deep midwicket's right (Hermann took the catch) and Jansen gets another big fish. What an over it turned out for the tall speedster 28/21.2 Faint tickle through to the keeper and that's massive scalp early in the piece! Lands it on a hard length and gets it curving away just outside off, he rooted back in his crease and flirts with it tentatively, faintest of the edges carries to the keeper who pouches a regulation catch. Magnificent bowling from Jansen 14/12.4 Castled! Backs away to the leg side, he follows him up and slings it full down leg, he tries to whip it away and ends up chopping it back onto his stumps off his pads. Pretoria are in a spot of bother now. They have been way too adventurous and perhaps it's time to build a partnership and slow things down. Verreynne is pumped though and loved the sight of stumps shattering and bails flying all over the place 34/34.6 Terrible mix-up! Lowers his center of gravity and punches it to silly mid-off and then without thinking much hurtles down the pitch, puts in a dive but it's all too late, direct hit lights up the zingers and he has to go, doesn't even wait for the confirmation on big screen. Wickets are tumbling and this is going from bad to worse, not sure why are Pretoria so rushed and muddled, they should listen the song calm down 47/45.6 Can you believe it? It's another run-out. What is happening out there? This is a total disaster for Pretoria. They keep shooting themselves in the foot! He presses the shortish ball at him to mid-on and then heads down the pitch, didn't put in a dive and once again a direct hit smashes the stumps and he is short by a few inches, walks away despondently back to the dressing room. 52/513.4 Lures him with the bait and he bites it! tossed up from round the wicket on a full length outside off, Harmann takes a breathtaking stunner at long-off! Charged in from deep and times the dive perfectly, it's been an unblemished fielding display from SEC. It was tossed well wide of off and he tries to clear long-off but went half-heartedly, not generating a lot of power behind that shot, could have opted for a slash through covers instead 104/615.2 This man can do no wrong! Good move to bring him into the attack. Saw him advancing down the track and pulled his length back, fired it quicker and away from his swinging blade, he misses and the keeper does the rest, stumped by a mile 109/718.1 Short of a length slanted across off stump, tries to big downtown and he gets the top edge that balloons up, Worral settles under the skier towards silly mid-off and makes no mistake, took a few steps forward and gobbled it down his throat. Nothing working for Pretoria as their captain departs 124/917.5 spanked high and not entirely mighty! takes the pace off and lands it full outside off, tries to pump him over long-on but didn't get all of it and Jansen snaffled that reverse-cupped a easy as you like, didn't have to move much to catch that, wickets continue to tumble 123/818.3 man, oh man, it's another sensational piece of fielding which has been the case throughout the innings. Rashid stutters while hurtling down the pitch and is short of his crease! Slices this ball to Dawson at point who hunts it down quickly and pings a sharp throw at non-striker's end, hit's the bull's eye and Rashid has to go. 125/10Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL125 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Will Jacks, 1.2 ov), 2-28 (Phil Salt, 1.6 ov), 3-34 (Kyle Verreynne, 2.4 ov), 4-47 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.6 ov), 5-52 (Colin Ingram, 5.6 ov), 6-104 (Shane Dadswell, 13.4 ov), 7-109 (James Neesham, 15.2 ov), 8-123 (Eathan Bosch, 17.5 ov), 9-124 (Wayne Parnell, 18.1 ov), 10-125 (Adil Rashid, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Gottim! He was miles away from his stumps, moving across off and trying to scoop it behind but ends making an absolute mess of his stumps. Stumps shattered, what a sight, brilliant off-cutter right on money and it flummoxes Rossington 10/13.1 Not adjudged lbw - but not for long! Fraction short and moving back in, a scorching delivery, tries to flick in vain. Review taken. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the middle stump under the bail and that's a terrific review, Dupavillon was convinced and they have got this absolutely right. That was perfectly in line with middle stump. High-fives all around. Both openers back in the hut, are you thinking what I'm thinking? 10/28.2 comfortable catch! over the wicket again, too full on middle and I didn't see that coming! Picks out long-off with precision after getting bottom-half of the bat! Bosch takes it down his throat and now SEC have the license to panic in the dressing room, this innings has come to a grinding halt much like Pretoria's horror show with the bat. Looks like we're in for a low-scoring thriller. Time for a strategic break 32/45.3 Massive breakthrough! 143 kph thunderbolt and suckered him with a hard length ball on middle and leg, straightens a touch, he leans forward and gets a leading edge that spoons straight to Parnell at mid-off, Dupavillon is absolutely fired up as he gets his second wicket and why not? He has got the captain! 20/316.4 One big shot too many! Miscues the skier and Dadswell takes a stupendous catch at long-off, another twist in the tale! That is such a timely breakthrough for SEC, this game keep swinging like a pendulum. 90/714.1 Edged and taken! His persistence and consistency has paid off! Short of a length, slanting across off, width on offer, tries to pummel it across the line to midwicket and ends up feathering it to the keeper, arms aloft as Parnell celebrates, they are not out of it yet as the asking rate creeps up 72/514.5 Dragged it straight to mid-off! He was trying to lift him up and over the fielder in the ring but didn't middle it and it goes straight to Dadswell who snaffles it while moving to his right and punches the air ecstasy. What a dramatic turnaround! 72/616.6 floated up just outside off, drags it across the line straight into the hands of deep midwicket, what a comeback after being slammed for a six! 90/818.2 Caught behind! oh, this match has more twists than a mystery novel! what drama! Wide yorker again and he gets a thick edge through to Salt who makes no mistake. That's third wicket for Parnell who has bowled smartly using all of his bag of tricks today 102/9Extras7 (b 4, w 3)TOTAL122/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Adam Rossington, 2.5 ov), 2-10 (Dawid Malan, 3.1 ov), 3-20 (Aiden Markram, 5.3 ov), 4-32 (Jordan Hermann, 8.2 ov), 5-72 (Patrick Kruger, 14.1 ov), 6-72 (Marco Jansen, 14.5 ov), 7-90 (Tristan Stubbs, 16.4 ov), 8-90 (Beyers Swanepoel, 16.6 ov), 9-102 (Simon Harmer, 18.2 ov)
