- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 super catch! Holland grabs it in his follow through. Back of a length at off stump, Seifert drove it firmly back up the pitch and Holland takes it in front of his face. That's a big wicket 59/17.4 taken at deep square leg! Back of a length, swinging to the leg side, chunks it with little timing and the fielder makes good ground off the rope. Was a knuckle ball from Jansen, so credit to the bowler as well 63/214.2 neat catch by Maxwell at long-on...a full delivery, slower ball, outside off, can't get anything timing in his shot as the bat twists. Maxwell makes good ground in, takes it low, and indicates he didn't pick the ball up 138/317.5 picks out deep cover! Stoinis won't race to a half-century. Fuller and outside off, fingers rolled across it, doesn't get the distance on his lofted drive and it's a simple catch. But damage may have been done 189/417.6 stays round the wicket, and it's two in two balls! Back of a length angled in, Shanaka closes the face aiming to the leg side and pops a gentle leading edge to the bowler 189/519.6 stays round the wicket, angling in on a length, gets underneath and top edges towards deep midwicket 227/6Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL227/6 (20 Overs, RR: 11.35)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Tim Seifert, 6.1 ov), 2-63 (Shayan Jahangir, 7.4 ov), 3-138 (Matthew Breetzke, 14.2 ov), 4-189 (Marcus Stoinis, 17.5 ov), 5-189 (Dasun Shanaka, 17.6 ov), 6-227 (Ali Sheikh, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 adds to his wicket tally! Baartman strikes. Back of a length, straight, Owen looks to go down the ground, comes from low down on the bat and a simple catch to long-on 18/21.2 taken at deep midwicket, very good catch! Smith's miserable day continues with a low score. Back of a length, heaves into the leg side, nowhere near the middle, good ground in made by the fielder. Smith looks at the pitch and mutters as he walks off 6/14.1 cleaned up! Superb delivery. Just short of a length, nips back and beats the inside edge into middle stump. Freedom in a mess 31/37.2 and another! Back of a length, wide outside off from round wicket, Chapman looks to drag it over the leg side, comes from low down on the bat and provides a simple catch at deep midwicket 50/74.2 gone first ball! Maxwell's woes continue. Another excellent delivery, back of a length and nips off the seam to beat the inside edge and clatter the top of the stumps. Maxwell's feet didn't go anywhere. What an evening for Jasdeep Singh. He's on a hat-trick 31/44.5 he's got another. What an over! A length delivery at the stumps, Edwards looks to go down the ground, closes the face and drags it towards long-on 36/56.3 straight to midwicket! The wickets keep tumbling. Short of a length, goes for the pull and miscues a simple catch 48/613.6 he has five! What a night for Jasdeep. It's a length ball, bunted down the ground from Jansen, doesn't clear Hetmyer at long-on who does well to stay inside the rope 104/912.3 wide again, this time it's sliced off the toe end of the bat to short third...Harmeet's tactics pay dividends 90/816.2 all over! Aiming down the ground again, it's a touch fuller, gets too far underneath it, goes high and then settles into the hands of long-on 139/10Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL139 all out (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.51)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Steven Smith, 1.2 ov), 2-18 (Mitchell Owen, 2.5 ov), 3-31 (Andries Gous, 4.1 ov), 4-31 (Glenn Maxwell, 4.2 ov), 5-36 (Jack Edwards, 4.5 ov), 6-48 (Obus Pienaar, 6.3 ov), 7-50 (Mark Chapman, 7.2 ov), 8-90 (Ian Holland, 12.3 ov), 9-104 (Marco Jansen, 13.6 ov), 10-139 (Saurabh Netravalkar, 16.2 ov)
