- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Bowled'em with a floater! Slower through the air ball on the fourth stump channel, turns in a wee bit and baits the batter to play the cover drive again, through bat-pad, as Mukkamalla had no clue about the ball after pitching, crashes onto the middle-off stump 4/15.4 Has he got enough this time? No, he hasn't! Pace off ball and finally Dre Russ gets a space to breathe against Faf. Length ball around off and Faf tries to hoick this one downtown but miscues it straight of long off. Powell comes around from the long on area, covers his ground and takes a well-judged running catch near the ropes. 58/34.3 Rossouw throws his wicket away! Holder sprays another wide ball outside off, this time Rossouw charges down the track and hammers it with the full face of the bat, but picks out the mid-off fielder at the edge of the circle 42/28.3 Splices up in the air and Powell strikes! Sprays it wide outside the off stump channel, gets down on one knee and attempts to whack it over the covers, toe-ends the ball and skies it high towards deep cover. Two fielders converge and almost collide, but Tromp manages to avoid it and gobbles it up while moving to his left side. 91/411.4 Trouble for Don and he has to depart! Continues to explore the widish channel with the angle, pace off and Ferrera goes for the big slash away from the body, only managing to mistime the stroke high in the air to the long off fielder. The substitute fielder, Chand, didn't have to move there an inch to pouch the catch. 113/514.5 Through the gates with a scorching yorker! Holder is pumped up; Savage swings his bat in the thin air. Full and straight angling in on the leg stump channel, Savage tries to clip it away across the line but gets cramped for space, thuds the side of the pad and ricochets onto the base of the stumps. 136/618.2 Cleaned him up! Full and straight right in the blockhole, Hosein tries to hoick it across the line and fails to get underneath the line of the ball, under-edges and crashes onto the base of the stumps 163/719.3 Straight up in the air and Powell grabs it! Bowls the pace off delivery right in the slot, attempts to heave it away across the line and miscues it towards long on. The ball was swirling in the air for some time, finally landing into the safe hands of Powell. 168/819.5 Pitched up front ouside the off stump line, heaves it away to widish long on and calls for the second run. Powell rushes to his right side and collects the ball cleanly, sending a quick throw at the bowler's end and Russell does the rest. De Silva is well short of his crease there. 50 up for Ranjane off 33 balls. 170/9Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL171/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Saiteja Mukkamalla, 0.5 ov), 2-42 (Rilee Rossouw, 4.3 ov), 3-58 (Faf du Plessis, 5.4 ov), 4-91 (Dian Forrester, 8.3 ov), 5-113 (Donovan Ferreira, 11.4 ov), 6-136 (Calvin Savage, 14.5 ov), 7-163 (Akeal Hosein, 18.2 ov), 8-168 (Hardus Viljoen, 19.3 ov), 9-170 (Amshi de Silva, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 Squares him up with a flighted delivery! Floated a length ball on the fifth stump channel, it turns back in sharply as Munro tries to hoick it across the line; there's a big gap between bat-pad and the ball sneaks in to kiss the side of the off stump. A brilliant knock by Munro finally comes to an end. 87/112.5 Direct hit at the striker's end! Good length ball on the off stump channel, plays with sot hands to cover point and sets off for a quick single, had to return back to the crease and put the desperate dive in. It was an impossible single, to be honest. Ranjane was aware inside the circle and hit the timber with the throw; Spiceman is well short of his crease there. 101/311.6 Bowled him with a beautiful yorker! A pace off yorker floats into the stumps channel, landing right in the blockhole to beat Russell all ends up. He clears his front leg to hoick it across the line, trying to adjust his stance to dig it out, but is completely outplayed, offering a wry smile toward Viljoen in the end. 99/218.5 low full toss ball on the stumps, Powell tries to send it downtown to go for an early finish, mishits the slog stroke and finds Ferreira at long on, who makes no mistake and gobbles it up with the reverse cup technique. 165/4Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL172/4 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.97)Fall of wickets: 1-87 (Colin Munro, 10.1 ov), 2-99 (Andre Russell, 11.6 ov), 3-101 (Andre Fletcher, 12.5 ov), 4-165 (Rovman Powell, 18.5 ov)
