- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 gone this time! It was short and wide and Dravid made room to slog on off this time and sent it straight to Alviro Petersen at cover 67/33.2 that's the kind of catches you can expect from a South African side! Rahane lofted it down the ground towards mid-off and Viljoen ran to his right and then dived full length to slide and catch it. Clean catch! 21/15.2 gone! The edge is taken this time by the keeper. It was on length outside off, Samson cut and managed an outside edge to edge it to Tsolekile 36/213.4 high up in the air but doesn't get the distance this time. He launched it high from length on leg and Jean Symes kept his eyes on the ball to catch it well inside the boundary at long-on 110/416.6 slightly slower at 121kph does it. It was a yorker and Binny made room to drive on off but missed completely but he's done what the team needed from him 145/5Extras11 (lb 1, nb 3, w 7)TOTAL183/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Ajinkya Rahane, 3.2 ov), 2-36 (Sanju Samson, 5.2 ov), 3-67 (Rahul Dravid, 9.3 ov), 4-110 (Shane Watson, 13.4 ov), 5-145 (Stuart Binny, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 another one goes. Malik has been charged at twice, but here he comes back with a slower ball, and van der Dussen is too early into it after walking down the wicket. Dravid goes back from mid-on to take the catch 36/23.3 another leading edge, and this time he has picked out cover-point. Looks to work this square on the leg side, and has turned the face closed too early. Easy catch for Menaria 25/14.6 Malik will on a hat-trick when he bowls his last over. A poor shot. Bavuma pays for his cement feet. For the fourth time in his brief stay he goes after a widish delivery without trying to get closer to the line of it. Drives at a wide length ball away from the body, and edges it through to Samson 36/311.3 Tambe strikes! This one was slightly slower and aimed at the stumps, Viljoen made room again and with the same result - a miss and the ball crashes into leg stump 89/415.1 Tambe on fire! He's gonna finish it here, he's got the captain. It was a flattish legspinner aimed at the off stump, Petersen slogged on the leg side and missed and Tambe struck timber 120/713.1 Tambe strikes again, Lions have lost another! It was full outside off and Symes chipped it in the air straight to Stuart Binny at cover, easy catch 101/513.3 that's plumb! It was pitched up as Tanvir tries to slog-sweep it on the leg side and missed it by a mile, it would have crashed into the stumps, not a tough one for the umpire 101/617.3 yorker always works! It was swung in late as Tsolekile swung his bat and missed, the ball hit his pads and crashed into the stumps. Royals need two more to win 137/819.5 taken at long-off, it was a low full toss outside off, and Pretorious holed out to Brad Hodge in the deep 152/9Extras10 (b 5, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL153/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Quinton de Kock, 3.3 ov), 2-36 (Rassie van der Dussen, 4.5 ov), 3-36 (Temba Bavuma, 4.6 ov), 4-89 (Hardus Viljoen, 11.3 ov), 5-101 (Jean Symes, 13.1 ov), 6-101 (Sohail Tanvir, 13.3 ov), 7-120 (Alviro Petersen, 15.1 ov), 8-137 (Thami Tsolekile, 17.3 ov), 9-152 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.5 ov)
