- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 QDK departs! Back of a length ball turning away sharply outside off, clears the front leg and tries to whip it away over the midwicket area, miscues the stroke and finds Livingstone near the ropes. Narine has dismissed QDK 6 times in T20 cricket now! 26/22.4 Coetzee strikes! A soft dismissal! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, Bairstow plays the swivel pull shot early and toe-ends it straight to Buttler in short midwicket inside the ropes 24/112.4 Breetzke has holed out! Shortish length ball on middle-leg, tries to send it downtown and miscues the slog stroke high in the air to long on, a regulation catch for Markram. 80/49.3 massive appeal and the finger goes up! Length ball darted on the off stump channel angling in, shuffling across early and trying to whip it away, hitting the front pad and seeming adjacent to the stumps. Hermann opts to send it upstairs, all three reds and hitting the middle stump 64/313.5 More trouble for the Eastern Cape! Googly ball turning away and Jansen attempts to whip it away over the on-side infield, doesn't quite get hold of it and finds the midwicket sweeper fielder, who was standing a few yards inside. 87/5Extras7 (lb 5, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL158/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Jonny Bairstow, 2.4 ov), 2-26 (Quinton de Kock, 3.5 ov), 3-64 (Jordan Hermann, 9.3 ov), 4-80 (Matthew Breetzke, 12.4 ov), 5-87 (Marco Jansen, 13.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Jansen takes a screamer! Slower through the air ball outside off, plays it inside-out and miscues the stroke towards straight of long off. Jansen sprinted to his right along the boundary, stretching both arms well away from his body to pluck the ball out of the air. It was a spectacular catch to secure the much-needed breakthrough! 49/17.4 Nortje strikes. Game on! Length ball outside the fifth stump line, 138 clicks and kept a bit low, clears the front leg and throws the kitchen sink at it, chopped on off the thickish inside edge, and crashed onto the leg stump! 80/212.6 Soft dismissal! Slower through the air ball around the off stump line, strides forward with intent and plays the expansive cover drive half-heartedly, chips it to the right of cover and Bairstow pouches it, moving to his right side. 116/58.3 Narine bites the dust! Hard length ball on middle-leg, clears the front leg and whips it away, hits it flat and straight to the deep midwicket fielder. The batting order shuffle didn't work for the men in blue today. 81/311.3 Massive wicket! Length ball outside the off stump line, a hint of a turn away from the batter and Klaasen cuts it square, chips it uppishly to backward point and the fielder dives forward to complete the catch. Klaasen is furious at himself, and the crowd of Orange Army erupts! 107/416.3 Straight up in the air, and QDK gobbles it up! Pace off ball on the stumps, plays the front foot drive early and plays through the line, skies it high towards the gully area and QDK settles underneath to complete the catch. 135/617.2 Livingstone's misery with the bat comes to an end! Fuller length ball outside the off stump line, goes for the big heave to send it downtown, gets nowhere near the ball, and edges it to QDK behind the stumps. Poor shot, pressure piling up, and Livingstone just threw his wicket away. 137/718.5 Bowled'em! Disturbs the furniture with a length ball on the stumps, goes for the wild swing of the bat and misses the straight ball, Coetzee departs after a quickfire cameo. 154/8Extras13 (lb 5, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL162/8 (19.3 Overs, RR: 8.3)Did not bat: Noor AhmadFall of wickets: 1-49 (Aiden Markram, 4.2 ov), 2-80 (Marques Ackerman, 7.4 ov), 3-81 (Sunil Narine, 8.3 ov), 4-107 (Heinrich Klaasen, 11.3 ov), 5-116 (Jos Buttler, 12.6 ov), 6-135 (David Bedingham, 16.3 ov), 7-137 (Liam Livingstone, 17.2 ov), 8-154 (Gerald Coetzee, 18.5 ov)
