    7.3 Balbirnie is on the back foot and looks to run the ball down to deep third, doesn't get much bat on the ball and nicks it behind. Hunter picks up his first catch in Knights colours and Balbirnie's breezy Innings is done 73/1

    8.1 Roulston dances down the track and plays across the line, looking to heave the ball legside. Doesn't connect and the ball crashes into the stumps, the bails go flying and both Warriors openers are gone now 77/2

    13 Calitz looks to hit big into the legside. The ball comes off a top edge and even though it goes high in the sky, it doesn't travel far from the middle. Short third keeps his eye on the ball and takes the catch. 115/4

    2.1 Stirling leans back and top edges the ball high in the air. Calitz calls early for the catch and everyone keeps out of his way. Takes the catch and that's both the Knights openers gone early 24/2

    5.1 Young strikes first ball! Back of a length ball that is hit towards deep point. The fielder doesn't have to move as the ball picks him out perfectly and he doesn't make a mistake. 54/3

    17.2 Topping looks to repeat the shot. Doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and can't get enough power into the shot. Young runs in quickly from the long-off boundary and has time to settle himself before taking the catch. 184/8

    6.1 Dadswell has a big swing as the ball goes past off-stump, gets a feather on the ball and it goes through to the keeper. The Warriors start celebrating even though the Umpire's finger hasn't gone up yet. It finally does. 68/4

    17.5 what a catch! Robertson hits the ball back down the pitch, Delany sticks his right hand up and the ball sticks. There was a lot of power in that shot but the bowlers reaction to catch the ball was superb. 184/9
