7.10pm So Sunrisers Eastern Cape only manage 127, getting bowled out with eight balls to go. Adam Rossington gave them momentum at the top of the order, but they kept losing wickets consistently. James Fuller and JJ Smuts, both of who came into the XI today, tried to get some runs at deep end, but they would feel they are short of a par total. With the ball, birthday boy Aaron Phangiso was sensational, picking up four wickets. Gerald Coetzee also grabbed four, while Romario Shepherd took one. Special mention also for the Joburg Super Kings skipper Faf du Plessis, who was just electric in the field. Alright, time for a short break. Be back with us soon for the chase!

Donovan Ferreira: "Bowling first for the first time now so to bowl a team out puts us in a good position. Ball is staying low, so if our batters get into good positions, we should be good. No better birthday present for Aaron Phangiso. Just hope our batters can do the job now."

Coetzee to Fuller, OUT, Hit straight to long-off! And that will be that for Sunrisers East Cape. That was a slower ball, full and wide, Fuller gets low and looks to hoick it down the ground, but it's not straight enough and goes straight to that man Faf du Plessis. He takes it reverse-cupped while crouching down. This was relatively straightforward for him!

JK Fuller c du Plessis b Coetzee 27 (42m 20b 3x4 0x6) SR: 135.00

Cricket nerd : "Hi there just wondering how it is that phangiso is still allowed to bowl even though he is under investigation?" The tournament guidelines state that a bowler can continue bowling while under investigation. You can read more about it here.

Coetzee to van der Merwe, OUT, No mistake this time! It's a blinder from Faf du Plessis! Full outside off, he swings through the line but doesn't time it. Faf runs back from mid-off, and dives to get under that and hold on. He has been just so good in the field today
