- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 snicks him off first ball! Swanepoel has his first wicket of the season... or does he? Du Plooy reviews. Angling into the left-hander, takes his outside edge and straight into Stubbs' gloves. Du Plooy smashed his pad with his bat, which must be why he reviewed, but there's a huge spike on UltraEdge as the ball passes the outside edge, and it clearly deflected on its way through. 32/31.4 Stubbs goes up for the caught behind... not given on-field, but Markram doesn't need much convincing to take a review. Short and wide outside off, Faf shaped to force it through point on the cut but could only get a little tickle on it, and Sunrisers have their first. 10/11.5 nicks him off, Worrall is on a hat-trick! Test-match new-ball bowling, just a fraction full of a length and a hint of movement away off the seam. Hendricks pokes forward but can only edge to slip where Jansen takes a low catch. 10/210.5 another leg-side strangle, would you believe it?! Joburg keep finding ways to get themselves out. A horrible ball, short and heading way down the leg side. But it keeps a touch low, and Madsen gets a little flick on it as he swivels around in his pull shot. Another soft, soft dismissal. When it rains... 64/75.5 stunning take by Stubbs to snaffle the leg-side strangle! Jansen gets his line wrong, angling this one down the leg side, and Moeen is a little late on his attempted flick. He gets a fair bit of bat on it, down towards leg gully, but Stubbs' anticipation means he has already sprung across to his right and he takes an absolute blinder as he tumbles to the ground 41/48.2 chipped straight back to the bowler! Simmonds stares at the pitch in disbelief. Length ball, stops on the batter as he plays with hard hands, and it's the easiest catch Worrall will take in his career 53/510.3 flicked straight to short fine leg! Kruger wins the battle. The worst ball he's bowled, angling down the leg side and in the slot. But Ferreira's attempt to tickle it away for four flies straight to Harmer, who takes a sharp low catch 63/614.1 in the slot outside off, Bracewell mistimes his step-hit. Steepler, comes down with snow on it... and Markram falls onto his back as he pouches it, running around from long-on. Good catch 77/912.1 another tame dismissal! Nothing shot from Williams, lobs a length ball straight to mid-on. Got himself in a right tangle, and Markram didn't have to move 68/815.2 cross-batted swipe, gets a bottom edge on it and is caught behind! Tahir has taken the remaining review, and why not? Clear spike on UltraEdge, and JSK are bowled out for 78. 78/10Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL78 all out (15.2 Overs, RR: 5.08)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Faf du Plessis, 1.4 ov), 2-10 (Reeza Hendricks, 1.5 ov), 3-32 (Leus du Plooy, 4.1 ov), 4-41 (Moeen Ali, 5.5 ov), 5-53 (Kyle Simmonds, 8.2 ov), 6-63 (Donovan Ferreira, 10.3 ov), 7-64 (Wayne Madsen, 10.5 ov), 8-68 (Lizaad Williams, 12.1 ov), 9-77 (Doug Bracewell, 14.1 ov), 10-78 (Imran Tahir, 15.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 snicked off! Good shape from Williams, swinging away outside off and climbing off the springy Wanderers pitch. Hermann has a thump off the back foot, and edges through to the keeper.
