- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 Placement goes awry for Conway. Picks out deep square leg to perfection. Conway pulled the back of length ball nicely, the flat trajectory works against him as Smith takes a step to the right and takes it with fingers up 137/38.3 Brilliancy from Kane, now it's Rashid's turn! Runs back from mid-off, was facing the ground before he slid forward and took it with extended arms. That was a certain boundary. Was a shortish ball over the stumps, Williamson made room and eased a flat-bat shot on the move. 96/110.5 Skied... taken!. Wobble ball on a length 136ks. Didn't do anything special, Buttler went deep in the crease and looked to launch it over long-on. Buttler standing with a closed-stance. Bat-face turned on impact and it got more height than distance. Still a great cameo from Buttler 120/215.2 Worse ball gets a wicket, T20 in a nutshell. Overpitched on off, Klaasen stood still and tried to slog it through the line. Bat turned inwards and long-on came into picture. 169/418.2 Linde spins out Markram. 87ks length ball lobbed on a length at leg stump. Markram charged and looked to thrash it down the ground. The ball turned away to beat the edge and went over the stumps. Easy stumping 203/5Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL232/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.6)Fall of wickets: 1-96 (Kane Williamson, 8.3 ov), 2-120 (Jos Buttler, 10.5 ov), 3-137 (Devon Conway, 12.1 ov), 4-169 (Heinrich Klaasen, 15.2 ov), 5-203 (Aiden Markram, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Hurries him on the pull and it's taken at deep square leg. 132ks shortish ball at waist height. Rassie walked down leg and was followed, might've got it off the splice. 22/119.1 Jones gets another catch at long-off. Rickelton can't finish off the game, gets a big round of applause as he walks back, mostly looking down. This was a ball he'd hit out of the park many times this game. It was wide and on a length, the line is what does him in. He looked to slap it with a full follow-through, got it off the top edge 211/69.3 Harmer flattens leg stump. 92ks back of lengther, pulled back his length after seeing Reeza dance down. Landed around fourth and spun in sharply. Beat the close-faced flick and sped off the pitch 82/213.6 Taken at mid-off. The party is paused. This was a slot ball on off, Smith didn't lean into the shot. Instead, he stood tall, wound big and looked to thrash a drive. Holed out to Markram. 158/317.5 Buttler takes a skier. This was just as high if not higher than the last ball. He came in from long-on, got low, kept the eyes on the ball and took it. Fell forward with the possession of the ball. Was a short ball that took the top edge off the pull 198/418.6 Slot ball goes into Jones' hand, and he whacks the ball into the grass in frustration. Fingers across the ball with the seam pointing to point. Slot ball though, Pretorius clears his front leg and looks to drive through the line. Can't clear long-off 211/519.4 Jones takes another and DSG have essentially sealed it. Cutter in the slot, but wide of off, Linde - like Rickelton - has a slash across. Edges it to Jones, who came forward and fell forward as he took it. Got right back up and roared 213/7Extras8 (lb 2, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL217/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.85)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Rassie van der Dussen, 2.6 ov), 2-82 (Reeza Hendricks, 9.3 ov), 3-158 (Jason Smith, 13.6 ov), 4-198 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.5 ov), 5-211 (Dwaine Pretorius, 18.6 ov), 6-211 (Ryan Rickelton, 19.1 ov), 7-213 (George Linde, 19.4 ov)
