- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Tahir strikes first ball.... and what a tremendous catch from Faf du Plessis at cover! Full and wide outside off. Bedingham tries to lift it over cover but the ball turns away and he miscues the shot. Ball is going over du Plessis at cover but he sprints to his right, tracks the ball over his head and dives behind himself to take a stunning catch. 48/23.2 middle stump knocked back! And a big roar from the keeper. Length ball around off. Sliding in. De Zorzi backs away to cut but he misses for the second ball in a row. This time Theekshana hits bulls eye 46/18.6 full ball on leg stump. Hermann tries to lift it over the leg side but the ball is too overpitched and therefore he cannot get under the ball perfectly. Toe-ended, and deep midwicket covers some ground running in and then slides forward to complete the clean catch. Might even have been a pace-off delivery 75/47.3 soft dismissal! Another length ball outside off. Abell makes room and goes back to drag a shot to the leg side. But he's through the shot too early, leading edge pops up and Moeen takes a simple return catch. Plenty of turn in that delivery 67/316.1 Tahir returns, Tahir strikes! It's a loose full toss, but it's in the line of the stumps, and that means Stubbs can't really free his arms. Toe-ends a shot straight down the ground and long on has a simple catch 131/519.6 full ball on off. Backs away and launches a big shot over the off side but the man at long off runs around and gets under it.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 what a time for Jansen to dismiss Conway for the first time ever in T20s! Length ball outside off. Conway half-heartedly drives away from his body, and that's taken the edge to Stubbs! Shockingly minimal footwork 40/17.5 taken at wide long off! Back of a length ball outside off. Du Plessis tries to flat-bat a swatted shot past wide long off but it doesn't have the distance. Markram at long off gained a lot of space by sprinting to his left and once he got there it was curtains for the JSK captain 62/28.1 rattles the stumps! Full ball on off and middle. King backs away and tries to cut in front of square but the ball skids through, stays a shade low, and the stumps are all over the place. Strategic time out 62/312.2 slower ball, full ball just outside off. Lubbe tries to muscle a drive through the off side but it goes past the outside edge of the bat to Stubbs. They appeal for caught behind and given out! Lubbe is not convinced. He reviews but UltraEdge confirms the edge. He has to go. 91/414.5 Dawson ends the Bairstow party! Bowls a yorker on off stump and Bairstow has committed to the reverse too early. Finds himself in a tangle and the ball crashes into the base of the stumps. Big celebration 116/612.6 a double wicket maiden! Fullish ball just outside off. Moeen drives away from his body with hard hands and it has popped up for point to take a catch to his right! The change of pace has induced the false shot. Overton finishes with 2-20! 91/518.6 holes out! Length ball outside off. Viljoen tries to crunch it down the ground, but it doesn't have the distance.
