12.35pm Nelson Mandela Bay Giants started well with that rapid opening stand, but Tshwane Spartans' bowling attack brought their side back into the game. Mendis clawed back control with four middle order wickets that kept the Giants in check, and the quicks then nailed their lengths at the death to make sure there was no charge. Sipamla collected three more wickets, including the vital one of Marais for 47, and the last five overs went for just 28. The wicket has been a little on the slow side, but has generally played true and Spartans will fancy their chances of chasing this total down in the afternoon. Join us in a few minutes for the chase
