- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 first wicket goes down! Modgil looks to drive the ball from the crease, the ball swings back through the gate and the bails get knocked off. Modgil stays in the shot for a moment before trudging off. 14/15 Pretorius strikes again! It's identical delivery to the ball that got Modgil, comes back in off the pitch and kisses the top of the bails. Lightning openers are both gone now 38/215.1 Patel looks to get to his fifty with a boundary down the ground. Once again the fielder is perfectly placed at long-on to take the catch. Lightning six down now. 96/68.5 De Freitas Is on the front foot and looks to hit the ball down the ground, it sails high in the air and the fielder has time at mid-on to settle under the ball and take the catch. 60/311.5 the Lightning Captain is down on one knee and looks to sweep the ball over the square leg boundary. The ball holds up in the air and the fielder on the boundary doesn’t have to move as the ball picks him out. 75/413 Hoey is the latest batter to perish going for the big hit. Looks to get a bit of help from the win to clear deep mid-wicket. Humphreys takes the catch and looks down on the ground to make sure that he didn't go over the rope. 86/517.4 Lynch is peppering that cover boundary, this time the ball carries on the wind a little further and the fielder takes a few steps off the boundary and slides forward to catch the ball 118/718.1 stumps go flying! Hand plays across the line, and is beaten for pace. Foster dances down the track and pumps his fist as Hand walks off. 122/819.3 it’s a top edge that loops towards backward point, the fielder is a little slow to react and has to dive forward to take the catch. Lues looks disgusted that he has got out in such a tame way. 138/9Extras11 (b 4, lb 1, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL142/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Swapnil Modgill, 2.4 ov), 2-38 (Tim Tector, 4.6 ov), 3-60 (Christopher De Freitas, 8.5 ov), 4-75 (Samuel Harbinson, 11.5 ov), 5-86 (Gavin Hoey, 12.6 ov), 6-96 (Monil Patel, 15.1 ov), 7-118 (Seamus Lynch, 17.4 ov), 8-122 (Fionn Hand, 18.1 ov), 9-138 (Dylan Lues, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.1 Pretorius is gone! His luck finally runs out as the ball spins past the bat and the bails are knocked to the ground. Lightning fielders know how important that wicket is 117/61 chips the ball towards mid-off. Topping is taken it easy as he runs down the other end. It's a direct hit at the keepers end and Topping looks up in shock as the Umpires finger goes up. Run out by half a yard. 21.3 out for a golden duck! McCollum leans around the front bat and tries to block the ball, misses and is hit on the front pad. The Umpire's finger goes up and the Lightning celebrate that wicket in style 7/28.5 Sidhu gets the breakthrough! Carmichael is down on one knee and looking to sweep the ball, misses and the ball rattles the stumps. The batter looks down at the ground in disappointment before heading off 68/311.2 this one isn't though! Hoey bowls fuller and straighter, Topping doesn't move his feet and the ball crashes into the bottom of the stumps on the full. 87/412.2 this time Lynch does complete the stumping. The batter looks to attack the bowler, the ball spins past the bat, Lynch gather the ball and takes off the bails 96/518.1 Koen plants the two feet and swings across the line. There is a fielder out at deep mid-wicket and the ball flies flat towards him. Makes it look simple as he takes the catch. Knights lose another, is the pressure starting to show? 126/718.5 Hand picks up his third wicket. Mayes gave himself some room as he looks to hit the ball into the covers. Is beaten for pace and the stumps are rattled again. Knights lose another 131/8Extras19 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 15)TOTAL141/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Did not bat: MT FosterFall of wickets: 1-2 (Morgan Topping, 0.6 ov), 2-7 (James McCollum, 1.3 ov), 3-68 (Cade Carmichael, 8.5 ov), 4-87 (Sam Topping, 11.2 ov), 5-96 (Jason van der Merwe, 12.2 ov), 6-117 (Ruhan Pretorius, 16.1 ov), 7-126 (Tyron Koen, 18.1 ov), 8-131 (Thomas Mayes, 18.5 ov)
