- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 du Plooy holds this in the deep! Salt's laboured innings comes to an end, but he has set Fire on the way to a decent score - especially if this pitch get slower and lower. Pace off from Tongue, Salt aimed the slog to cow but underhit it. Well taken by du Plooy running in off the rope 125/117.1 picks out long-on! Short tries to go long, but doesn't have the legs. Klaasen pouches it safely. Walter's 74mph dobbly stuff does the trick for MSG, though not before Short has done plenty to steer this contest 130/218.2 slogged to long-on! Hard length, 87mph and cramping him for room. Boshed down the ground but it's a simple catch to Seifert out on the rope. MSG chipping away at the death to keep the damage down 138/318.4 moves across and flips leg side, well held running in! Atkinson is bowling to his fields and picks up another. TKC is forced to hit into the wind and can't get anywhere near enough power - though there was still plenty for Noor to do as he came scampering off the rope at deep square leg 138/4Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL155/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-125 (Phil Salt, 16.3 ov), 2-130 (Matthew Short, 17.1 ov), 3-138 (Jordan Cox, 18.2 ov), 4-138 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 hoicked to deep midwicket, excellent work by Kellaway! Walter looks disgusted with himself, but he has to go. Struck hard and flat but can't clear the fielder, who takes it and then tosses the ball up as he steps out of bounds, before returning to the field of play to complete the dismissal. Ends an excellent opening stand for MSG 74/1Extras11 (b 4, lb 1, nb 5, w 1)TOTAL161/1 (13.4 Overs, RR: 11.66 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-74 (Paul Walter, 6.5 ov)
