- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 holes out to long-on. Down the track this time but doesn't get the required elevation and ends up hitting straight down the throat of Harrison 21/22.3 a full toss and Cobb has hit it straight back to the bowler. Hartley does well to hold on to it, low and in front of his right shin 12/111.2 flat offbreak, fields off his own bowling and this looks like it's a run-out! 68/410.4 holes out to wide long-on! Harrison takes a sharp catch on the rope. Phillips never got going today, struggling for timing. Hit low on the bat, another cutter from Brathwaite, and Phillips dragged the shot down Harrison's throat looking to go down the ground 62/317.4 shuffles across to the off side, then to the leg side, Finn goes straight on a length and du Plooy chips it up towards mid-off... where Brathwaite dives back, over his head, tumbling, and clings onto the catch! 128/519.2 chipped straight to Brathwaite on the edge of the ring! More or less nailed the yorker, Neesham looked to get underneath it and chip it over the infield, but couldn't beat Carlos at short extra cover 144/6Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL150/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Josh Cobb, 2.3 ov), 2-21 (Tom Banton, 3.5 ov), 3-62 (Glenn Phillips, 10.4 ov), 4-68 (Ben Duckett, 11.2 ov), 5-128 (Leus du Plooy, 17.4 ov), 6-144 (James Neesham, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 skips down, mistiming the legbreak, and Duckett takes a skier running back from the edge of the ring at cover! Covered the ground early to turn it into a simple chance. Not a great shot as Salt looks to go over mid-off again 109/29.3 skips down the pitch, tries to squeeze it out through point but ends up slicing it straight down deep cover's throat! Excellent knock comes to an end. Checked cover drive, looking to find the gap behind square, but timed it too well and straight to du Plooy 94/117.5 played on! Short ball, angled towards Ackermann as he backed away, and he looked to run this away behind square with a late dab but was cramped for room, only managing to deflect it into the base of his stumps! 141/3Extras14 (b 2, lb 3, nb 6, w 3)TOTAL153/3 (19 Overs, RR: 8.05 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-94 (Joe Clarke, 9.3 ov), 2-109 (Phil Salt, 13.3 ov), 3-141 (Colin Ackermann, 17.5 ov)
