- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 Smit Patel departs! Widish yorker ball outside the off stump, shuffles across and moves towards the line of the ball, plays the ramp scoop shot, connects it with the toe end of the bat and struck it hard and flat, straight into the hands of Rutherford at short fine leg 97/41.3 Massive wicket! Hard line and length ball darted on middle-leg, a bit of shape in on the pads, Faf opens the face of the bat and plays the flick shot, connects with the inner part of the bat, did not time it well enough to clear the fences, find the deep fine leg fielder near the ropes 17/13.5 Van Schalkwyk strikes again! Slight fuller length ball with a hint of swing away from the batter, Mukkamalla attempts to go big again, presents the full face of the bat and plays it straight, tries to loft it over mid-off, strikes with the toe end of the bat and chips it in the air, mid-off comes around and completes the catch 33/23.6 Back-to-back wickets, van Schalkwyk is breathing fire! Back of a length ball darted on the off stump channel, held on the pitch, moves onto the back foot and plays the swivel pull shot, skies it high with the top edge towards deep fine leg, fielder comes sprinting in and takes a spectacular low catch diving forward! 33/318.3 Cleaned him up! Full and overpitched ball on the leg stump, moves across the line early, goes down on one knee and attempts to whip it away, does not connect and uproots the leg stump! 183/618.1 What have you done, Ranjane! Banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, goes over the batter's head, keeper fumbles to collect it behind the stumps. Ranjane goes for a single, but Ferreira stares at the ball in the third man area, leaving both batters stranded at the striker's end. Ferreira tries to get to the non-striker's end at the last minute, but Rutherford's throw at the non-striker's end ends Ferreira's innings today. There was a massive misunderstanding amongst the batters. 179/519.4 Up in the airrrr. And taken by Russell! Change of pace ball darted on the stumps, Akeal goes for the big heave, commits a bit too early, miscued the stroke and sends it in the air, Dre Russ settles underneath and completes the catch 190/719.6 Another low full-toss, this time Noor failed to send it away, moves away from the wicket and tries to go over the covers, only managed to chip it in the air towards extra cover 196/8Extras11 (lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL196/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Faf du Plessis, 1.3 ov), 2-33 (Saiteja Mukkamalla, 3.5 ov), 3-33 (Marcus Stoinis, 3.6 ov), 4-97 (Smit Patel, 11.4 ov), 5-179 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.1 ov), 6-183 (Shubham Ranjane, 18.3 ov), 7-190 (Akeal Hosein, 19.4 ov), 8-196 (Noor Ahmad, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.1 You just can't keep Ferreira away from the game today! Slower good length ball from around the wicket, Chand goes down on one knee and plays the slog sweep, goes through the gap between bat-pad and disturbed the stumps! 68/41.4 Hales' struggle continues! Short of a length ball with a hint of turn away from the batter, Hales moves away from the wicket to make room, chips it straight into the safe hands of Stoinis at short cover! 10/11.5 Through the gates! Arm ball seamed up on the stumps, slight deviation off the pitch, just enough to go through the bat-pad of Nitish Kumar, played down the wrong line off the back foot, had no clue whatsoever. Excellent stuff from Akeal Hosein with the new ball! 10/28.3 Nicked through to Patel! Widish fuller length ball outside off, just inside the tramline, attempts to play it inside-out over the covers, gets the faintest of the edge and the keeper does the rest 55/313.1 Noor strikes! Wrong-un delivery quicker on a length, pitching outside off and turning in on the stumps, Rutherford clears the front leg and tries to swing it away over mid wicket, failed to connect and breaks the stumps 78/516.4 This one looks close, massive appeal and given! Full and overpitched ball darted on the leg stump line, Powell tries to heave it over the on-side, does not connect and hits the back pad. Powell opts to review immediately. Ultra Edge confirmed no bat involved. Ball tracking in play, all three reds and hitting the leg stump! 106/715.3 Beaten all ends up! Flighted wrong-un ball on the stumps, Russell defends off the front foot, goes through the huge gap between bat-pad and crashed onto the stumps. Russell's struggle against Noor continues. 102/6Extras15 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL144/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Alex Hales, 1.4 ov), 2-10 (Nitish Kumar, 1.5 ov), 3-55 (Saif Badar, 8.3 ov), 4-68 (Unmukt Chand, 11.1 ov), 5-78 (Sherfane Rutherford, 13.1 ov), 6-102 (Andre Russell, 15.3 ov), 7-106 (Rovman Powell, 16.4 ov)
