- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 QDK is celebrating but the umpire is unmoved! Full and overpitched outside off, Fletcher attempts to heave it across the line but connects with thin air. Pooran sends it upstairs. Ultra Edge confirms a spike as the ball passes the bat and is carried cleanly to the keeper behind the stumps. 65/21.5 Celebrappeal from Bosch and the finger goes up! 142.9 kph length ball nips back in on middle-leg, catching Chand by surprise who was stuck inside the crease; he plays it late off the back foot and thuds the front pad. Chand immediately reviews it though. Clear gap between bat and ball. We move to ball tracking. All three reds and hitting the middle-leg stump; this one kept a bit low and looked plumb right from the start. No clue why Chand immediately went for the review there; at least he could have consulted with Spiceman. 2/114.6 Tromp bites the dust! Full and straight on the stumps, tries to thump it over the fences but mistimes it straight in the air, the bat face rotates after striking the ball. Shepherd comes around inside the circle area and gobbles it up with ease. 111/413.2 Ugarkar gets the big fish! Pace off ball does the trick once again and sends the dangerous Powell back to the dugout. Back of a length ball outside the sixth stump channel and Powell throws the kitchen sink at it, miscues the stroke towards mid-off and Pooran completes the catch while tracking back. 96/319.4 Miscues it to cover! Pace off fuller length ball outside off, throws his bat at it and gets the toe-end of the bat, skies it high inside the circle and Boult settles underneath to complete the catch comfortably. 160/616.6 Russell's misery with the bat finally comes to an end! Shortish lengt hball pitching outside the fifth stump channel, rocks back and tries to fend it down, gets beaten once again and attempts to squeeze this one to deep third, gets a feather outside edge and QDK does the rest behind the stumps. 121/5Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Unmukt Chand, 1.5 ov), 2-65 (Andre Fletcher, 8.4 ov), 3-96 (Rovman Powell, 13.2 ov), 4-111 (Matthew Tromp, 14.6 ov), 5-121 (Andre Russell, 16.6 ov), 6-160 (Jason Holder, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 Length ball angling away outside off, cross-seam delivery and Monank goes for the big heave, skying it high towards long off and and Holder completes the catch near the ropes. 70/31.2 Edged and taken by Hamilton! Three-quarter length ball held on the pitch around the fifth stump channel, QDK tries to dab it to the third man area, connects the outside part of the bat to the first slip fielder. Hamilton dived fully stretched to his left side and grabbed it with both hands in front of Russell at first slip. QDK departs for a duck! 4/16.6 Caught at backward point! Three-quarter length ball around the fifth stump channel, playing the square drive and hitting it flat and hard to the point area. Spiceman dives forward and gobbles it up, a sharp catch taken at the edge of the circle! 38/211.5 Carmi le Roux has the last laugh! Widish yorker ball outside the off stump line, Tajinder attempts to dig it out but only manages to connect with the outside edge, with no foot movement and plays away from the body. The bowler is pumped up and rightly so! 80/4Extras10 (lb 3, w 7)TOTAL168/4 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.47)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Quinton de Kock, 1.2 ov), 2-38 (Nicholas Pooran, 6.6 ov), 3-70 (Monank Patel, 11.2 ov), 4-80 (Tajinder Singh, 11.5 ov)
