- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 edged and taken and Pretorius is furious with himself. Was a length ball angling across. Think it came slower off the pitch. Pretorius was looking to steer it fine but all he managed was an outside edge and SEC have a much-needed breakthrough 105/21.4 taken on the rebound! A length ball around off. Owen comes down the ground, gives himself room, and looks to go big. All he manages is an outside edge that flies towards slip. It's around chest height for Overton who goes with both hands. The ball pops out but he is quick to grab the second chance 6/114.6 full on the pads. Miller misses the sweep and gets hit on the pads. The keeper thinks there might have been some bat involved, so he dives to his right to take the rebound but fails. And then he breaks the stumps and appeals for a stumping as the batter had come out of his crease. Not out given but SEC have reviewed it. There was no bat involved before the ball hit the pads and the ball-tracking shows it would have hit the leg stump. In real-time, it looked going down the leg side... 121/315.6 a length ball around off. Karthik moves across and down and looks to sweep it past short fine leg. Misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal for lbw but not given. SEC have reviewed it. Replay shows it hit Karthik on the front thigh, no bat involved. The ball-tracking shows it hit Karthik in front of off stump and would have hit the top of middle. An excellent review this one from SEC, bringing them a huge wicket 126/4Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL175/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Mitchell Owen, 1.4 ov), 2-105 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 12.2 ov), 3-121 (David Miller, 14.6 ov), 4-126 (Dinesh Karthik, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 Is there a twist in the tale? Finally a wicket for Royals. A length ball. De Zorzi goes back and pulls but he doesn't get the required distance on it and deep midwicket pouches it 138/23.1 full outside off. Bedingham goes for the drive but all he gets is a thin outside edge and Karthik makes no mistake behind the stumps 27/1Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL177/2 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (David Bedingham, 3.1 ov), 2-138 (Tony de Zorzi, 14.2 ov)
