8.30pm Jozi Stars have raced to the highest total of the Mzansi Super League so far, building on an opening stand of 155 between Rickelton and van der Dussen in the absence of Chris Gayle. Rickelton missed out on his hundred, but Jozi Stars had more than enough firepower to follow him. They plundered 128 last from the last 10 overs, with 76 of those coming off the last five. Gayle? Gayle who? This is a flat track, but this target is going to take some chasing.

Bosch to van der Dussen, OUT, the slower ball does him! Excellent comeback under pressure from Bosch. He'd just been hit out of the park, but again he aims for the yorker. This time, though, it's a slower one, and van der Dussen is through the shot too early to be struck on the pads in front of the stumps
