    3.1 high into the night sky, and straight into Noor's palms at short fine leg! Dug into the track on off. Bedingham looks to pull it away but does not get the purchase he is after. Skews off the top edge and Noor accounts for the swirling wind, pouching the chance with conviction. SEC's opening stand has been snapped! 27/1
    9.2 hot knife through butter! Uff, that was something! Flighted up beautifully on a length just outside off. Crawley lunges forward but still does not get to the pitch of the ball - such was the dip on it. Goes searching for it and the ball rips past the inside edge before flattening middle stump. Crawley cannot believe what has happened; Noor, meanwhile, holds his arms aloft. He has done Crawley all ends up here, and has given his side an opening! 75/2
    17.5 straight up, and de Kock holds on, eventually! Another googly, given plenty of air on a fullish length just outside off. Abell has a huge swipe across the line and gets a fat top edge. de Kock seems to call early but Naveen also chases the high ball, coming in from short fine leg. de Kock catches it and luckily for both parties, also avoids the collision. Both de Kock and Naveen get up sporting smiles but that could have been much worse! 141/5
    9.3 almost! Fizzed through full just outside off. Spins back sharply and Markram, looking to drive, seems to get a scratch before the ball dribbles off the pads past slip. Noor and Maharaj do not think so, though, and despite de Kock not looking very optimistic, they decide to go upstairs. Oh my word. There is an enormous gap between bat and ball. This could be it for Markram. Yes, it is. Three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball crashing into the top of middle and leg stump. Noor on a hat-trick; Markram with another golden duck this season! 75/3
    11.3 right in front, and up goes the finger! Googly on a length just outside off. Hermann plays the trajectory and opts to stay back. Ends up playing all around it and gets pinned on the pads. Seemed straight enough but Hermann wants to have another look. Did he get bat on it? The bat scraped the pad, which might have caused the double sound. Clear gap between bat and ball, so we now move on to Ball Tracking. Impact in line and hitting middle stump two-thirds of the way up. Noor has three, and SEC lose another! 87/4

    9.3 big appeal, and the finger goes up! Darted in full on middle and off. Breetzke shapes for the paddle-sweep but gets it all wrong. Does not lay bat on ball and the ball raps him right in front of the stumps. The umpire had no hesitation in giving it out but Breetzke has reviewed this. Not sure about the rationale behind this, unless he has hit it. No bat or glove involved. Onto Ball Tracking now. Pitching in line, hitting in line and smashing the middle of middle stump. Another ordinary review, and DSG are three down! 53/3
    5.5 terrible mix-up, and the crowd is stunned into silence! Off-pace on a full length on off. Breetzke tips it to mid off and calls for the single, all while Parsons is ball-watching at the other end. He sets off eventually but by then, it is too late. Markram's throw is accurate enough and Stubbs demolishes the stumps. Parsons is not happy and to be fair, he has a bit of a point. That was a very tight run and Parsons could not have taken off truly until the ball had crossed Jansen. Either way, SEC will not mind! 40/1
    7.5 has that carried?! Looks like it did, and Williamson trudges off disappointed! Slanted in on a length just outside leg. The ball stops in the surface and Williamson, trying to ease it down the ground for a single, is early into the stroke. Pops it back towards Dawson, who lunges forward and scoops it up inches off the turf. Big moment in the game! 48/2
    14.6 stumps demolished, and that will be that for de Kock tonight! Searing full delivery, tailing into leg stump from around the wicket. de Kock looks to smash it into the ocean and perhaps aims too square. Only grabs a handful of fresh air and the ball clips the back leg before thundering into leg stump. Leg stump lies flat on the ground, and that perhaps is emblematic of DSG's pursuit of SEC's target too! 94/5
    10.2 Klaasen perishes, and that is a gigantic moment in the game! Fizzed through on a back of a length on middle and off. Plenty of grip, bite and bounce off the surface and Klaasen is forced to fend at it. Does so uppishly and offers up a chance to Markram. He judges it to perfection and dives forward to snare it smartly. You could hear a pin drop at Kingsmead right now, and that is the clearest indication of how massive this scalp is for the defending champions! 54/4
    17.1 Mulder perishes too! Banged into the track outside off. Mulder has an ungainly swipe across the line and gets a huge top edge. The ball swirls and swirls, but Abell is up to the task. Watches it all the way and completes the catch with minimal fuss! 106/7
    16.2 Jansen among the wickets too! Full outside off and Smith thinks he can smack this downtown. Goes through the line but does not get the connection he desires. More height than distance and Harmer settles under it at long off, ensuring there are no further hiccups. SEC can sense their first win of the season! 100/6
    17.3 another moment of magic in the field, and the Sunrisers Eastern Cape are enjoying themselves now! Shortish just outside off. Maharaj dabs it towards backward point and takes a couple of steps down the track. Woakes thinks that is the cue to hare across, only to then be sent back. Dawson collects cleanly and then rifles it into the stumps at the bowler's end with his right hand. Dawson does bowl left-handed but he is ambidextrous when it comes to throwing. Woakes and Maharaj were late to realize that, and DSG are now eight down! 106/8
    18.1 middle stump goes for a toss, and the streak is over! Sunrisers Eastern Cape are on the board, and they have looked every bit the two-time winners tonight! Hard length, pitching just outside off and jagging back into Maharaj. He has a wild whoosh across the line and misses it completely. Loses his middle stump soon after and SEC are all smiles. They have endured a tough start to the tournament but things are suddenly starting to look much better and this win will go a long way in re-establishing confidence! 107/10
    17.5 stumps rattled again! Zipped in very full on middle and off. Bowled at almost 140 clicks and Noor is a week late on it. The ball bursts past his blade and then thuds into the stumps. Gleeson is delighted, SEC are delighted; DSG and the Durban crowd, very dejected! 107/9
