- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.1 knocks him over! And it is that man Trent Boult again! Off-pace on a length on middle and off. de Kock looks to tonk it into tomorrow but does not pick the variation. Swings too early and the ball crashes into middle stump, leaving it flattened! What an innings this has been from de Kock, though - it has set the Orcas up beautifully! 142/44.1 Rashid goes through Nauman like a hot knife through butter! Back of a length just outside off. Nauman, without really picking the length, advances, trying to work to leg. The ball fizzes through, underneath his bat and with Nauman stranded outside his crease, Pooran completes the stumping with ease! 25/19.1 and he gets Jayasuriya in his final over! Slowed up a shade on a length on middle and off. Jayasuriya tries to go downtown but this might have just held in the surface. The bat face closes on impact and he hits it straight back to Taylor, who has his wits about him to snare the chance! 66/212.1 and he gets Klaasen! Massive, massive moment in the game! Length delivery just outside off and this seems to stick in the surface. Klaasen tries to mow it over cow corner but he has not quite gotten to the pitch of this. Slogs at it anyway and the ball skews off the toe-end. Boult settles himself at deep mid wicket and does the rest! 91/318.1 one brings two! Off-pace on a back of a length outside off. Ranjane tries to smash the cover off the ball and loses his shape completely. He is early into the stroke too and that means he slices it tamely to backward point. Kenjige judges it well and gobbles up the chance! 157/617.6 Rashid has three! Wrong'un that is given a bit of air just outside off. Imad tries to go downtown but does not get to the pitch of the ball. It also sticks in the surface and Imad can only toe-end it to Wiese at long off, who makes no mistake! 157/519.5 Wiese gets Pretorius, finally! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Pretorius tries to muscle it over long but just does not have pace to work with. Lobs it miles up into the air and when the ball comes down, David is there to catch it at long on! 181/818.5 Tye bites the dust! Knuckle-ball on a length just outside off. Tye tries to be funky and looks for the scoop. He has no pace to work with, though, and the ball spoons up off his bat straight to Jessy at short fine leg. The Orcas are falling apart like a pack of cards now! 163/719.6 high full toss outside off that would have been a wide had Harmeet left it. He reaches out for it and punches it towards deep cover. The bowler cannot collect cleanly and that prompts the Orcas to attempt the third. The backing-up is good enough, though, and Parnell is run out at the batter's end! 183/9Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL183/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Did not bat: CJ GannonFall of wickets: 1-25 (Nauman Anwar, 4.1 ov), 2-66 (Shehan Jayasuriya, 9.1 ov), 3-91 (Heinrich Klaasen, 12.1 ov), 4-142 (Quinton de Kock, 16.1 ov), 5-157 (Imad Wasim, 17.6 ov), 6-157 (Shubham Ranjane, 18.1 ov), 7-163 (Andrew Tye, 18.5 ov), 8-181 (Dwaine Pretorius, 19.5 ov), 9-183 (Wayne Parnell, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 cleans him up! Length delivery slanted across the batter on middle and leg. Taylor has an ugly swipe across the line but does so without getting anywhere close to the pitch of the ball. It continues with the angle, sneaks past the bat and thuds into off stump! 0/14.6 in the air and taken by Tye! Length delivery outside off and this too is out of Jahangir's normal hitting arc. He steps down the track, trying to manufacture a big stroke over mid on but hacks across it badly. The ball spoons up and Tye settles himself at mid off to hand the Orcas their second breakthrough! 62/212.2 Brevis has been run out at the non-striker's end after Harmeet puts down Pooran, oh dear! Full on leg stump. Pooran gets his front foot out of the way and smashes it back at the bowler. Harmeet puts down the catch but inadvertently deflects it onto the stumps, with Brevis well out of his ground! 137/3Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL184/3 (16 Overs, RR: 11.5)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Steven Taylor, 0.3 ov), 2-62 (Shayan Jahangir, 4.6 ov), 3-137 (Dewald Brevis, 12.2 ov)
