    1.4 loose shot from Brevis, and it gets his outside edge to first slip. Wild drive with a straight bat to a ball that was nipping away, giving Smuts a simple catch. Good work from Magala, and MICT's teenage star departs 7/1
    13.1 Slot ball is whipped, vd Merwe slides in from deep midwicket. Takes it smartly, sliding on his knees, took it fingers pointing up. Tumbled back on his head and almost did a headstand for a second. 109/2
    13.4 Another slot ball induces a catch at deep midwicket. On middle, Roelofsen whips it with his back leg going up as he made contact. Didn't connect well, Cox ran in from the deep and took it on the move, low down in front. Excellent catch, lobbed it up casually as he glided back onto his feet. Two set batters out in the over with two balls to go. 110/3
    15.1 Supreme reflexes help vd Merwe pluck a caught and bowled. Was shortish just outside off, Linde was cramped for room. He tried to flat bat it, didn't connect well but was going relatively quickly. Roelof swiftly stepped to his right, bent, kept his fingers up and mitted it. 121/4
    16.1 Sweep beaten, stumps hit. Was around a length, didn't turn. May have kept a bit low, vd Dussen was in his crease but not in line. He missed and it hit middle and off, to Markram's delight. 123/6
    15.2 Holed out to long-on. Curran out for a golden duck. He charged down, tried to whack the flick as hard as he could. Went flat and Markram took it comfortably. 121/5

    3.1 slower ball, and Rossington holed out to midwicket! Just couldn't quite time it and it's a comfortable catch 35/2
    1.2 little nudge and they run through for one, but a beautiful pick up and throw from Archer. Direct hit, and Smuts is gone. What a scintillating bit of fielding that is 14/1
    4.6 rapped on the pads, angling in. That's very, very straight, and the umpire has no hesitation in raising the finger. Rabada strikes in the first over 40/3
    8.1 Rashid Khan strikes first ball. Kevin Pietersen on commentary had been wondering why he wasn't in the attack. He bowls a quick yorker that beats Markram in the flight, and MICT are well on top now 57/4
    12.1 Slot ball does it again! Whipped flat in the air. Rickelton at deep midwicket takes it after a run to the right. Stubbs waited and got a decent chunk, but the timing wasn't good enough to over and the placement couldn't beat the fielder. 91/5
    14.1 Direct hit, sent to the third umpire for a run-out check. Cox's bat is hovering low in the air despite being over the crease. A bit casual, the noise in the crowd gradually increase. Out it is. Bonus wicket for MI Cape Town. Jansen dropped the length ball behind square on the off side, quick throw and a bit of indifferent running by Cox, did not drag the bat in which costs him. Ball goes right up off the back of the bat after hitting the stumps. Excellent pick up on the move by Odean from short third, replays confirm, all in one motion. 101/6

    18.6 Slower one knocks over Jansen! In the slot, at the stumps. Jansen's eyes lit up, went back in the crease and tried to slog it over midwicket. Misses. He's annoyed as he walks back but he's lit up the stadium in sunshine. He's toppled sense to deliver a special innings that can delight technicians and innovators alike. Leaves with four needed off six. 168/8
    18.1 Pulled in the air, Archer runs across at deep midwicket, takes it! Slower one into the wicket, Carse cleared his front leg and looked to hit it as hard as possible. Got it off the edge, went up. Archer charged to his right and took it with a slide 154/7
