7.15pm: Is it Markram's match? Sunrisers' skipper, a great SA talent but one you might call unfulfilled. Well, he's played the knock of his life tonight, racking up a maiden T20 hundred in the SA20 semi-final, having walked in with his team 10 for 2. It was a masterfully paced innings, digging in alongside Jordan Hermann in a stand worth 99; he then unleashed at the back end, taking just 17 balls for his second fifty. Here are Markram's thoughts at halfway: "It turned out to be quite a good wicket, tough up front with a bit of extra bounce, batting time at a venue like this has its benefits. We built good partnerships and eventually set it up. Jordan did the dirty work, so a lot of credit has to go to him. We'll take [213], but we know this ground and anything can happen. Still got a job to do [with the ball]." Lizaad Williams ended up with a four-for after his excellent opening burst, but the wheels fell off for Super Kings towards the end. These runs are going to take some getting - there's not been a successful chase above 180 at the SA20. Danyal will be back for the start of it

Coetzee to Jansen, 2 byes, full and wide, 141kph and Jansen swings and misses. Cox is already scampering down and Wade's throw then ends up at long-on to allow them a second! JSK have fallen apart in these last few overs

Sk: "How is the bowler allowed to bowl after 2 full toss no balls?" I think they were slower balls, so not judged as dangerous

Coetzee to Cox, 3 runs, pitched up, 138kph and driven, times it well and du Plessis has a chase on... does brilliantly to haul it back in from mid-off! The 38-year-old Faf then lies for a moment on his back beyond the boundary rope, just getting his breath back

Coetzee to Cox, SIX, leg-side pick-up for six more! Full on the pads and Cox is across, exposes the stumps again, pings this into the crowd!

Coetzee to Cox, SIX, short and shovelled into the crowd! Cox boxes smart, picks the slower ball and launches it over the short boundary at deep square leg. Brings up the Sunrisers 200, too!

Second free hit of the over coming

Coetzee to Cox, (no ball) 2 runs, another slower ball goes wrong, full and wide and swatted out to deep cover. This is going to be another no-ball...

"Only the 3rd hundred of the competition. With all the high scoring matches one feels its a few short," reckons Krypto
