    5.2 Mokoena has got his man! After wicket after a boundary. This ground generates some extra bounce as HawkEye data has shown us a few minutes ago, and Rickelton tries to do a leg-side swipe against this short-of-good-length ball, but it generates extra bounce instead. Easy gobble at mid off 31/2

    4.3 that's a comeback! And what a smart ploy. Raza comes over the stumps, bowls a short-ball like a medium pacer, and Rassie's leg-side swipe is awfully out of touch. Ball sliced high up and square leg runs diagonally behind to wrap up the catch. 27/1

    17.1 another leading edge, another catch! Fullish ball on off and middle. He tries to push with the full face of the bat. Ball turns away slightly, takes the outside of the bat, and lobs over to point who has to dive forward 85/8

    10.5 the wicketkeeper commits, the wicketkeeper grabs! Terrific from Kyle. Not too full, on his pads, Pooran slogs leg side but he slices it. Verreynne calls for it early and then sprints towards square-leg while ensuring fine-leg stays away from him. Avoids getting distracted, and takes a full-stretched grab while also staying on his feet. 55/3

    12.1 flattens his pole! Another failure for Smith this season. Raza bowls a back of a length ball on off stump. Smith tries to cut when there's absolutely no room. Inside edged onto leg stump. 61/4

    15.3 inside edged onto the stumps! Fullish ball on middle and off. Angling across slightly. Moores tries to cut but the ball sticks a bit. He tries to force a shot through the off side, and that's the end of his batting 80/5

    16.1 you just can't stop Raza! This time it's a caught and bowled. Linde lasts just two balls and MI are sliding and how. Length ball on middle. Stopping and turning towards off. Punched right back, pops up for a simple return catch 81/6

    16.2 a fourth for Raza! The MICT captain goes for a first-baller and Raza is also on a hat-trick. Fullish ball on the stumps. Rashid tries to slog it leg side but he mistimes the shovel. Ball comes high off the bat and Miller lurking at short midwicket dives diagonally forward to lap it up 81/7

    18.4 easy peasy for long on and MI Cape Town are skittled for 88! Full on middle and Bosch brings out the golf swing for a big shot down the ground. Doesn't have the distance at all. Baartman finishes with 2-8 and goes atop the SA20's all-time wicket-takers' chart again 88/10

    18.3 full ball on the stumps and swiped across the line to deep midwicket. They have to scramble for the second but the dive may have saved Rabada. The throw from Pretorius from the deep wasn't great but Baartman recovered well to break the stumps. The TV umpires go upstairs - and guess what! Rabada is short! 88/9

    0.3 Top of off - bails flying! Boult and first-over wickets are a romance as old as time. Back of a length on off, Pretorius backs away to carve over cover, but the ball curves away late, beats the bat, and crashes into the stumps on its way through to the keeper. 2/1

    10.4 tries to be too cute! Length ball around off. Tribe tries to move to the off side and play a scoop over the leg side. The ball turns in, he misses, and that's the end of Asa Tribe. Nonetheless, a solid innings from the batter today 68/3

    7.2 keeper takes a grand catch! Bosch digs it short around off. Hermann attempts a pull but it takes a top-edge. Ball is destined for deep third but Rickelton turns and runs towards the boundary line before taking a sharp catch 56/2
