Fantastic work from TSK after enduring a barrage of powerful hitting from Mukthar and Short in the early stages. The combined efforts of Gerald, Mohsin, Bravo, and Santner successfully stemmed the run flow in the last ten overs. The pitch conditions started to favor the bowlers as the ball started to held up in the surface and helped Santner and Mohsin to induce a few misjudged shots. Bravo demonstrated his expertise by cleverly varying his pace, mixing slower deliveries, bumpers, and delivering searing yorkers to great effect. Gerald, in fine form, ended the innings with a superb last over. Initially, it seemed WF would comfortably reach a score of 180, but they lost momentum in the closing stages. Short, however, played an exceptional innings of 80 runs, laced with 10 fours and three sixes. Henriques and Pienaar also made valuable contributions, resulting in a decent total for WF to defend. I will be back with the chase in few minutes.

Coetzee to Pienaar, no run, Dug in short on middle, goes for the pull and misses. Hits him on the helmet and ricochets past backward point. Concussion protocol to follow but he looks okay. It was a slower bouncer and he was a touch early into his shot

Coetzee to Henriques, OUT, Hits him plumb in front of the stumps, was looking to defend it. That looked stone dead. Sqealing for an lbw and the umpire quickly raises the finger. It was a slower full-length delivery and beats his flick. He decides to burn a review. There is a flat line on the snick as the ball passes the bat. Pitched outside off, impact on line and wickets hitting. Three reds on the big screen and he will continue to walk back to the pavilion. Skipper is already in the dug-out in-fact

Bravo to Pienaar, no run, Slower through the air, antagonizing him by taking all the pace off as he lands this on a full length outside off, he tries to scoop it over the keeper's head but can't connect. Excellent penultimate over from the seasoned campaigner.

Bravo to Pienaar, 2 runs, Attempts a slower yorker outside off, a juicy half-volley and he didn't need second invitation to big at it, clubs it downtown, Miller does so well to prevent a six, falls outside the rope but flicked the ball back into the rope, couldn't deflect it to the other fielder but nevertheless saved a certain six. Miller is not happy, he wanted to throw it higher in the air and give Faf a chance to snare it

Bravo to Henriques, no run, Over the wicket, a touch short and holds its line on off, he is pleading for an lbw but the umpire thinks otherwise. They go for a review but no dice. It's a fair delivery, he was trying to scoop it over the keeper's head, ball kept low. Nothing on the snicko. Ball tracking coming up. Pitching outside off, impact umpire's call and wickets hitting so pretty adjacent
