    1.1 and Viljoen traps Crawley in front! Full and pushed into off stump. Decks back after pitching and Crawley is beaten on the inside while driving for the third time today. The ball pins him on the front pad and that looked pretty adjacent, especially with the ball hitting him around the shin. Crawley, though, wants to have another look. Might be in vain. No bat involved but the third umpire is having to wait a long time for Ball Tracking to build. It comes up eventually and reckons the ball would have clipped the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call and Crawley has to go! 9/1
    13.1 massive lbw shout, and Sipamla breaks through! Slanted in on a length on off. Comes in with the angle and keeps a little low as well. Bedingham plays all around it and gets pinned in front. The umpire gave it a fair bit of thought but Bedingham almost seemed happy to walk the moment the ball struck his pad. No review either and Bedingham departs after a 34-ball 37, which has helped SEC establish a foundation! 100/3
    7.3 nicked and gone! Jones breaks through! The mini-comeback arc is complete. Pitches this on a length outside off and gets it to nibble away a smidgen. Abell pokes at it rather tentatively and feathers it through to Bairstow, who accepts the offering with utmost glee. Abell looked good for his 23 but has to walk back now! 51/2
    15.5 Markram bites the dust, and he is utterly disappointed! Fuller just outside off and this is perhaps in the slot. Markram looks to go over mid off but does not get under it enough. Right off the toe-end and the ball arrows to du Plessis at chest-height. He makes no mistake and that could be a big moment in this contest! 122/4

    14.3 Crawley makes amends immediately! This is on the shorter side again but on this sluggish surface, the ball does not bounce high enough for Conway to get under it entirely. Arrows it flat towards long on and Crawley judges it to absolute perfection. Slides forward and scoops it up comfortably enough in the end. The ploy to bowl Dawson works, and SEC edge ahead in this nail-biting contest! 105/3
    4.5 nicked and taken by Harmer this time! And the crowd erupts, following Jansen's pumped-up celebration! This is shorter and seems like an off-cutter. The ball grips in the surface and bounces extra. du Plessis, therefore, cannot control his cut and the ball flies off the outside edge straight to Harmer. Jansen is over the moon, as are the crowd. JSK lose their skipper! 34/1
    10.5 edged and taken! Markram breaks this game open! Fizzed through on a length just outside off. The trajectory is flat and du Plooy, perhaps playing the trajectory, does not move his feet a great deal. Pokes at it away from his body and the ball spins just enough to take the outside edge. Stubbs snares a sharp chance and Markram is delighted. The SEC captain coming up trumps just when his side needed him to! 84/2
    15.4 miscued and taken on the fence! St George's Park finds its voice again! Banged into the track on leg stump and this sticks in the surface. Bairstow has to wait before swiping at it and that meddles with his timing. Cloths it high up and Abell makes no mistake at deep mid wicket. Another massive moment in the game! 115/4
    17.2 straight to long on! And the Sunrisers hammer another nail into the JSK coffin! Banged into the track outside off. This skips off the surface and gets big on Ferreira. Gets up near his back shoulder, meaning he cannot generate the power or the elevation he wants. Picks out Crawley to perfection and that could be the game right there! 122/5

    17.3 two in two! The Sunrisers are all over the Super Kings like a rash! Back of a length outside off. Jones moves across his crease and whips it away nonchalantly. No power on it, though, nor the elevation and to the bigger boundary, that was always a huge risk. Easy catch for Dawson at deep backward square leg, and the crowd sense yet another win on home soil! 122/6
    18.1 Baartman joins the party! Length ball hung up outside off. Viljoen has no option but to go after it. Slices across it too much, though, and lobs it up towards extra cover. harmer settles under it and does the rest. Baartman holds his arms aloft, and that is mimicked by thousands in orange in the stands! 131/7
    18.5 plumb with a capital P! Zipped in very full on middle and leg. Theekshana has a swipe across the line but was perhaps aiming too square. Gets beaten by the fullness of the delivery and gets rapped on the back leg. That was probably missing leg. And was missing off stump too. Because it was cannoning into middle! 141/8
