3.40pm Tshwane Spartans were put in, and Durban Heat have kept what could be an explosive batting line-up fairly quiet. AB de Villiers was the big wicket, as he always is these days, but he fell early to Maharaj. Cloete rattled through a second successive fifty, but there wasn't too much to shout about from the rest of the order as Kyle Abbott collected 4 for 27. Spartans might have liked a few more than their 139 for 9, but this isn't the easiest track to bat on. Join us in a few minutes to see how the chase unfolds.

Abbott to Birch, 1 run, OUT, crunched with a little more authority through the covers. There was probably a quick two available, but Birch didn't want to risk the second even if Mendis did. Mendis turns, late, and is run out off the last ball

Abbott to Birch, 2 runs, chopped down through the vacant point region, and as the fielders converge they somehow pinch two runs

Abbott to Mendis, 1 bye, Mendis is on the walk, backing away towards square leg, but Abbott follows him and beats a flailing bat. The ball dips in front of the keeper, and they scamper a bye

Abbott to Birch, 1 run, no hat-trick for Abbott, as Birch slashes a full ball out through deep point

Abbott to Williams, OUT, two in two, he's on a hat-trick! Williams backed away as Abbott slung one down short. The ball took another top edge, and swirled up and over Bokako at short third man. He made excellent ground, running back, to get to it, and held onto a tumbling chance. Best of all, he offers up a two-step celebratory dance at the dismissal

Abbott to Kleinveldt, OUT, and he's struck! Kleinveldt sliced right across a full, wide ball, and succeeded only in presenting the deep cover fielder with a sliding chance

RK Kleinveldt c Maharaj b Abbott 11 (14m 8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 137.50

One over to go. Who will bowl it? It's Kyle Abbott to close things off.

Bokako to Williams, FOUR, shot! This made a lovely sound as it pinged off the bat. Bokako offered a back of a length delivery and Williams just stood up into a confident and very well timed pulll

Bokako to Kleinveldt, 1 run, heaved out to long leg, and it's just a jogged single this time

Bokako to Kleinveldt, 2 runs, flapped down to long on, and Kleinveldt gets some momentum going as he turns and rushes back for a second

Bokako to Williams, (no ball) 1 run, it's a no ball for height! This could hurt Durban Heat. The ball slipped out as a very high full toss, and Williams lifted it out to leg and straight to the fielder. But it's not out, of course

Hennie de Beer: "How is the weather holding up? Any chance of another shower?" It seems alright at the moment, but the weather can come on very quickly in Durban.

Bokako to Williams, 1 wide, Williams lines up a big drive, but he can't get close to a very wide ball outside off

Bokako to Kleinveldt, 1 run, pitched right up this time. Kleinveldt swings across the ball and collects one to long on

Bokako to Kleinveldt, FOUR, Kleinveldt has a strike rate over 150, and he's made a quick start this afternoon. Bokako's return to the attack is greeted with a back away to leg and an agricultural - but effective - thump over cover point

Abbott to Williams, no run, flicked awkwardly into the leg side, and there's some even more awkward indecision as Williams and Kleinveldt almost meet mid-pitch to discuss whether to run or not

Abbott to Williams, no run, hmm, Abbott is a little lucky to get away with this one. He digs the ball in short and it goes way over the ducking Williams, but the umpire doesn't call wide

Abbott to Williams, FOUR, good start! Very nicely placed by Williams. Abbott hit a length on off stump, and Williams just opened the face of his blade to send the ball through the vacant slip area

Here's Sean Williams to face his first delivery of the Mzansi Super League
