    3.2 Huge appeal for lbw and up goes the finger! Round the wicket, lands it on a length and it zings back to rap on his pads. A stunning delivery and right on money, does him for pace as well and traps him straight in front. That was just too good and he gets reward for some wonderful bowling 11/1
    6.5 Big shout for an lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger, good length and raps him on the pad as he tries to flick it away to the leg side, that looks plumb and he doesn't decide to take a second opinion. What an over it is turning out to be for Henriques! 38/3
    6.2 Fuller and outside off, he is playing away from his body, extends his hands out and carves it away to deep extra cover where Pienaar takes a comfortable catch down his throat. Just couldn't get underneath it on this occasion and there wasn't much power behind the shot. It was a slower delivery and he did well to keep it away from his range 37/2
    18.1 Launches the full toss straight into the hands of Nortje at long-on who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it. Rossouw departs after an enterprising knock of 41. Swung big but doesn't get enough power and elevation behind the shot. 154/5
    10.3 Crashes into the middle stump! You miss I hit! Tossed up and just gets enough turn to beat his hoick through the leg side. That's an important breakthrough and very well bowled, attacking the stumps and winning the mind battle 68/4

    18.3 Looks to go over mid-off but doesn't connect well! Length ball on a tight off stump line, Pienaar moves across and almost shelled it as the ball popped out of his hands but he recovered well to hang onto it in the second attempt. Narine goes without troubling the scorers 154/6
    19.1 Holes out to long-on! High full-toss outside off, tries to clear the rope, didn't get all of it. Short tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand 166/7

    12.6 Zingers are alight! Beautiful delivery, pitched up and spins back just enough to beat his defence and hits the stumps. He was trying to play down the ground but got flummoxed by the sharp turn. Narine has produced first bit of magic tonight with a dream ball. 134/3
    5.2 Short of a length tight at off stump, camped deep in his crease and tries to clobber it over midwicket but it hits him high on the bat and Rossouw gobbles it up gleefully at short midwicket. A much-needed breakthrough for Knight Riders! 68/1
    8.5 Strangled down the leg side, a touch short, angling in and straightening down the line just outside leg, tries to glance that away but might have got a faint edge. Umpire raises the finger after some delay. Mukhtar decides to burn a review. Not sure if there is deflection on the snicko but he has to take the long walk back into the pavilion. He looked very confident and went for the review right away but there was definitely a sound 96/2
    13.3 Another one bites the dust! Is there a twist in this tale? A touch short, grips and bounce off the deck, quicker delivery and he tries to get on top of it but didn't get all of it. Chands snags it at long-off 136/4
