- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Seifert has thrown his wicket away! Good length ball on the stumps channel, Seifert attempts to heave it over the midwicket area, gets the leading edge and skies it high to Couch at midwicket inside the ring, who settles underneath and takes a fine catch. 26/20.5 Run-out chance and did Jahangir get back in time? A touch fuller length ball on the stumps and Seifert plays the front foot straight drive stroke again. This time Bartlett managed to get a hand to it, brushed it off his fingers and hit the non-striker's end. Looks like Jahangir is caught outside the crease and he is short of his ground there, a horrible way to end your batting stint so early in the innings! 8/13.5 Through the legs with a cracking delivery and uprooted the off stump! Well, that's some unique way to get out. Premeditates to play the lap scoop and adjusts his stance, keeping his legs wide open and exposing the stumps in the middle. Bartlett bowls a scorching yorker ball with plenty of movement, goes through everything and hits the timber. Jayasuriya got deceived by the seam movement and now has to depart. 34/313.3 Swipes it straight to the fine leg fielder! Back of a length ball on the leg stump channel, tries to help it away with the angle, connects the inner part of the bat and clips a regulation catch to the short fine leg fielder at the edge of the circle. 132/59.1 Hettie can't believe it; he crouches down on the track and looks in disbelief! Fuller length ball in the slot and Hetmyer whacks it hard and flat, doesn't get enough elevation and finds the long on fielder. It went like a tracer bullet and Bartlett pouches it with the reverse cup technique. 99/419.4 Caught at long off! Shortish delivery wide outside off, gets on top of the bounce and lashed onto it, slices it high in the air to long off. The substitute fielder Esterhuizen gobbles it up. 186/713.4 Chaos right away! Length ball around off, pushes with soft hands to the cover area. An overthrow at the bowler's end as Stoinis was out of his crease. The backup fielder failed to gather the ball, and Sheikh tried to use the opportunity. But Stoinis was tracking back inside the crease while watching the ball, didn't catch what was happening behind him. Sheikh is halfway down the crease and has to hurry back, commits to a full stretched dive but still falls just short of his crease at the keeper's end. 132/6Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL190/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.5)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Shayan Jahangir, 0.5 ov), 2-26 (Tim Seifert, 2.5 ov), 3-34 (Shehan Jayasuriya, 3.5 ov), 4-99 (Shimron Hetmyer, 9.1 ov), 5-132 (Matthew Breetzke, 13.3 ov), 6-132 (Ali Sheikh, 13.4 ov), 7-186 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Stoinis takes a stunning catch! Length ball angling away outside off, 140.1 kph, tries to hoick it over the infield and connects the toe-end of the bat to mid-on. Stoinis leaps in the air, times his jump well and holds on to it. Pretorius can't believe it, putting his right hand on his head in utter shock before punching his bat in sheer frustration. 27/110.5 Full toss ball and Allen has holed out at long off! A harmless full toss ball outside off, plays through the line of the ball and mistimes it to the fielder near the ropes, doesn't get quite hold of it this time. Couch is pumped up and rightly so! 108/216.6 Massive wicket this one! Full and wide outside off, tries to flay it away and mistimes it to the extra cover fielder inside the ropes. He should be disappointed with that stroke at this time of the game! 155/415.3 Taken at deep midwicket! Length ball on middle-leg, clears the front leg and tries to heave it away, mistimes the stroke with the inner part of the bat as he plays against the turn, picks out the sweeper fielder there 141/3Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL194/4 (19 Overs, RR: 10.21)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 3.3 ov), 2-108 (Finn Allen, 10.5 ov), 3-141 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 15.3 ov), 4-155 (Matthew Short, 16.6 ov)
