    7.2 Oh, David Miller, that is a stunning catch! And, it is the all-important wicket of Mendis. Leg-spinner that turns into him sharply. Mendis looks to work it away, gets a bit of a leading-edge. The ball seems to be falling in no-man's land, but Miller runs back from square leg, dives full-length and snaps it up one-handed, inches from the turf. 57/2

    0.6 Oh, loud, loud appeal as Jacks is hit right in front of the stumps! And, the umpire agrees. Jacks has reviewed, but I think more in hope. Yes, DRS confirms the ball would have smashed into leg stump. Angles this into the batter, who gets across looking to push it to the on-side. Misses, and once that happened, it was always going to be trouble for Jacks. So, Fortuin, the highest wicket-taker of the competition, nabs the highest run-scorer. 5/1

    17.1 slower ball that appeared to be in the hitting arc, but he's somehow holed out to deep midwicket, where a terrific catch is taken. It almost seemed to hold up in the wind, which allowed Lubbe to scamper to his right and then leap forward to get rid of the dangerous du Bruyn 135/5

    10.5 too clever by half! Did a cocky little jig before Adams entered his delivery stride, but Adams holds his nerve, takes the pace off, and sneaks through the gate and removes his off stump 85/3

    12.1 pace off wide of off does for Dadswell completely. Goes through his swing much too early and skies it towards mid-on, where Miller takes the simplest catch 91/4

    18.6 Ngidi puts Bosch out of his wretched misery. Another wild onside swing, another wider ball from Ngidi. This time he gets a faint tickle on it, and walks off before even the umpire has time to raise the finger 145/6

    5.5 Chops it back onto his stumps, and Roy departs! Rolls his fingers over back of a length ball outside off. Roy has not picked it as he backs away looking to thrash it away. Is through the shot early and can only inside-edge back onto his stumps. He was looking good, but has to go back now. 48/1

    6.6 A super take from Mendis, as they collectively go up for a caught behind! Not given on the ground, but Parnell reviews. Has that taken the glove through to Mendis? Looks like it has. Rashid floats it a touch slower outside off. Lubbe gets across and sets up for a reverse sweep. The ball hits his pad first and then rolls on the glove through to the keeper. Excellent review and Rashid has struck in his first over. 54/2

    15.3 cleans him up, what a spectacular over this has turned out to be. Flighted the ball, which grips and squeezes through the gate between his bat and pad 120/4

    15.1 Will Jacks strikes first-ball. It was slow and short, with Vilas looking to clobber it over deep point for six. Never really gets enough distance on it, though, and that's a vital wicket for the Capitals as a strategy break is called 119/3
