- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 falls finally. Persisted with the wide length as Roy couldn't get much purchase on his shot, getting more height than distance. Ferreira is well positioned to take a smart catch, but let that not detract from a very impressive innings 130/43.3 that's some comeback! Leg stump knocked back with Coetzee going fullish on off. Buttler cleaned the front leg to go leg side but the bowler cleaned his stumps up instead. But this 21-ball assault has Royals at 53/1 in double quick time. 53/17.3 nearly collided but that doesn't prevent a brilliant diving catch around cover by du Plooy. Gripped and turned as he tried to slap it across the line, only to get a leading edge that flew up. There was nearly a mix-up but du Plooy holds on 77/212.2 cleans him up with a clever slower ball. Came around the wicket and rolled his fingers over it. Vilas was set up to biff it over midwicket, but misses completely. The top of off line meant the bowler hit 112/3Extras12 (lb 10, w 2)TOTAL131/4 (15 Overs, RR: 8.73)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Jos Buttler, 3.3 ov), 2-77 (Wihan Lubbe, 7.3 ov), 3-112 (Dane Vilas, 12.2 ov), 4-130 (Jason Roy, 14.5 ov)
