- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Edged and another one falls! This was all Daniel Smith behind the stumps though. Codi bangs this one in short outside off, and Faf can't help but take on the pull. This one though bounces sharper than expected. Faf gets a faint top edge, one that seems destined to sail over the keeper. But a fantastic leap from Smith sees him hold on with both gloves 16/22.4 Edged and gone! An enterprising start for de Villiers is brought to a premature end. He played away from his body and there seemed to be a sound, but the umpire is unconvinced. PC review. Back of a length, and seaming away. De Villiers looks to drive on the up but this keeps a touch low, and Ultra Edge shows that there's a faint bottom edge. Solid review. 16/112.2 And Mills delivers! Hits a hard length, 143kph, and it rushes Rossouw on the pull. Ends up coming off the toe of the bat, and gently loops to mid-on for an easy take 94/313.5 6, 6, OUT! Looks to go straight down the ground, he gets height but not much distance. Long-off settles under it and makes no mistake 110/417.4 Finds the man at square leg! Goes for the slog sweep, but just can't clear the man in the deep. He got a good connection on this, but Brevis barely had to move 138/615.6 Through him! It's an arm ball, slides through off a good length and has caught Ferreira in the crease. Not much foot work, looks to work this onside belatedly but plays all around it. Through the gate and crashes into middle! 123/5Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL168/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Matthew de Villiers, 2.4 ov), 2-16 (Faf du Plessis, 3.2 ov), 3-94 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.2 ov), 4-110 (Wiaan Mulder, 13.5 ov), 5-123 (Donovan Ferreira, 15.6 ov), 6-138 (Shubham Ranjane, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 Gets on through finally! It's the breakthrough JSK have been looking for, as Smeed once more targets the square leg boundary - this time with a pull - but doesn't account for some slightly lower bounce. This sneaks through and clatters into middle and leg 71/112.2 The set batter is gone! Full and wide, and Parsons can't help himself. Looks to take this on but ends up slicing it high to deep point, as the man in the deep settles under it and makes no mistake 88/410.3 Chipped to mid-off and very well taken! Hope looks to drive this length ball on the up, but this has bounced more than he expected. Ends up hitting it high on the bat, as Du Plessis moves swiftly to his right at mid-off and holds on well 75/211.5 Smit gets Brevis! Well, well, well! Another bouncer, down leg, and Brevis takes the bait. Has a swing at it, but only manages some glove on it. You can sense the importance of this wicket from the guttural shout Donovan let out mid-appeal. They know what this means 86/312.5 What is going on? The Capitals just cannot arrest the slide! Jansen does the basics right, keeps it tight, back of a length, right on the top of off stump. Esterhuizen is a on his toes looking to ride the bounce and defend, but the bat is angled and it gives way for an inside edge on to the stumps 89/516.2 Full, straight and deadly! Smith made some room, but this was the slower cutter and it means Smith is way too early on the shot. Off stump is pegged back and Jansen has four! 114/715.4 Goes big again, but this time finds the man in the deep! Another one falls and PC are in a real spot of bother now. This was in the slot, and Chase targets the longer boundary at deep midwicket. Doesn't really threaten to clear it as De Villiers makes no mistake 112/617.5 Maharaj's brief cameo comes to an end! Looks to make room to this back of a length delivery. Pace-on, Maharaj makes contact but it's a bottom edge on to the base of the stumps. PC lose their eighth 127/819.5 Incredible from Du Plessis! That is an outrageous catch from the 41 year-old. He had no business taking this catch. Low full-toss, skied straight up towards mid-on, but Faf has set off from around mid-off and takes this inches off the ground with a spectacular dive.
