2.1 Jacks bites the dust and just like that, Malinga breaks this game open! Hard length on middle and leg. Jacks advances, trying to swipe it across the line. The ball gets awfully big on him, though, and he splices it. The ball spoons up and Maphaka completes an easy catch at mid wicket. Just the start the youngster would have wanted! 18/1

9.6 does him all ends up with an absolute beauty! Given a bit of air on a back of a length on middle and leg. Seems like the away-going delivery and this grips in the surface to spin away sharply. Gurbaz was looking leg side but had no clue the ball was going to turn the other way. Misses the ball by a fair distance and hears the rattle of middle stump soon after. What a ball to break a threatening stand! 94/2

13.2 taken beautifully on the fence! Angled in on a length on middle and leg. It is there to be hit and Smeed goes after it with all his might. Shanks it a little, though, and that brings van Buuren into the equation at deep mid wicket. He judges it well and catches it in front of his face inside the ropes. He then realizes that he might over-balance onto the ropes and does that sweet juggling act that has now become commonplace in all forms of cricket. Excellent anticipation, awareness, agility and conviction to bring an end to a sizzling knock! 133/3

17.4 sizzling yorker and Verreynne has been completely flummoxed! Searing into middle and off. Verreynne walks across early again, looking to scoop it away. The ball is too full, though, and he plays all over it. Gets pinged on the front pad in line with middle stump and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Verreynne has reviewed but this is likely because the Capitals have two reviews in the bank. No bat involved and Ball Tracking says that is crashing into the base of leg stump. Verreynne's blistering knock comes to an end! 176/5

16.3 leaping Lungi Ngidi does the trick! Googly on a full length just outside off. This drops on Rossouw late and he is not quite to the pitch of the ball. Tries to go inside-out anyway but all he manages is a fat outside edge to short trd. Ngidi tracks it all the way and then lunges forward to scoop it up inches off the turf! 164/4

0.1 popped straight back to Jacks, and the Capitals are on the board early! Fired in full on middle and leg. LdP looks to knock it down the ground but the ball holds in the surface just enough. He chips it back to the bowler, who moves smartly to his left and sends the youngster on his way. Just the start the Capitals would have been after! 0/1

11.4 Neesham bags his man, and he has the last laugh! Bangs this shorter and this gets up higher, which makes it tougher for Hermann to control that pull in front of square. Clinks it flat towards long on, where Ackerman runs in, dives forward and snares a sharp chance. An excellent knock but now, someone else will have to take the Royals closer to the finish line! 125/2
