- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Caught and bowled! A good length ball on the stumps holds in the pitch and Seifert plays through the line off the front foot. He hits it hard, but the bat face rotates upon impact, chipping a catch straight back to the bowler. Bartlett somehow manages to hold on to it on his follow-through. 60/19.6 Mudassar finds the breakthrough! An off-cutter on the stumps, Jahangir moves away from the wickets to try and flay this one over the covers. He commits a bit too early and slices it straight to short third for a regulation catch. An entertaining knock finally comes to an end. 138/212.4 What a redemption for Couch, who gets Breetzke's wicket now! A fuller length ball around the off-stump line, Breetzke charges down the track to play it inside-out but splices it high into the air towards the cover region. Hardie rushes in from the ropes and dives forward to complete a brilliant catch. 150/412.1 Caught at long leg! A back of a length ball that holds in the pitch and keeps low. Hetmyer loses his shape as he plays a flick shot behind square, toe-ending the ball half-heartedly to pick out the deep fine leg fielder near the ropes, who didn't have to move an inch. 149/313.3 You just can't keep Mudassar out of the game! A fuller length ball outside off and he hits it firmly through the line. It travels like a tracer bullet toward long off and didn't get enough elevation. Finn Allen moves to his right and pouches it cleanly with a reverse cup. 152/518.5 Bartlett strikes! A pace on fuller length ball angling into the stumps and he plays it with the full face of the bat, clipping it high into the air over cover. Matt Short tracks back, covers his ground and safely holds onto it in the end. 190/916.1 Slashes it straight to cover! A short of a length ball outside off and he extends his long levers to slap it directly to the fielder in the cover ring. 169/617.1 Slower through the air ball on a length around off, arm ball and Harmeet tries to swing it away, miscues it to Couch at cover for a regulation catch 174/717.2 Back to back wickets for the skipper! A back of a length ball on the leg-stump line and he clears his front leg to try and whip it away, but only manages a leading edge straight to short third for the simplest of catches. 174/819.2 Looks plumb and given! A good length ball angling into the stumps, Baartman is late on the stroke as he plays across the line and gets thudded on the pad right in front. He opts to review it, even though he had already started walking back toward the dugout. Replays show no bat involved, and it's three reds, crashing straight into the leg stump. 191/10Extras3 (lb 3)TOTAL191 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.87)Fall of wickets: 1-60 (Tim Seifert, 4.1 ov), 2-138 (Shayan Jahangir, 9.6 ov), 3-149 (Shimron Hetmyer, 12.1 ov), 4-150 (Matthew Breetzke, 12.4 ov), 5-152 (Marcus Stoinis, 13.3 ov), 6-169 (Dasun Shanaka, 16.1 ov), 7-174 (Harmeet Singh, 17.1 ov), 8-174 (Cameron Gannon, 17.2 ov), 9-190 (Ali Sheikh, 18.5 ov), 10-191 (Ottneil Baartman, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.2 Pretorius has holed out at long on! A full pace on delivery outside off, and he shuffles across to hammer it flat and hard toward long on. He doesn't get enough elevation or power to clear the fence, finding Hetmyer right there. Pretorius is visibly disappointed, putting the bat on his shoulder and both hands on his head in frustration. 136/60.3 Finn Allen's struggle with the bat continues this season! Length ball down the leg side that should have been ploughed out of the park, but Allen plays the pull shot a bit late and only manages a tickle off the glove. Seifert dives fully stretched to his left and holds onto a brilliant catch. 1/12.4 Baartman has the last laugh! A fuller length ball, and Short plays through the line half-heartedly, closing the face of the bat early to chip it straight to Stoinis at mid-off. 23/23.3 Stoinis gets his second scalp! More trouble for the Unicorns! A hard length ball is banged in, and Krishnamurthi is late on the swivel pull, getting a leading edge that Seifert rushes to his left to gobble up. The extra bounce off the pitch and the lack of ideal length made it the wrong ball to try and pull. 26/311.3 Pace off does the trick! An off cutter pitching well outside off, and he extends his arms to reach for it, swinging away but not getting quite hold of it, finding the deep square leg fielder right near the ropes. 125/411.5 Rapped in front and the finger goes up! A length ball angles in on the pads, and he tries to clip it away but misses, setting off for a quick single anyway. The point fielder fires a throw at the keeper's end and smashes the stumps! The Orcas fielders are celebrating, though it's unclear whether it's for the LBW or the run-out. It seems Azam won't review the decision anyway, as he is already walking back to the dugout. Looks like going down the leg-side to me, and the replay confirmed my suspicion. Absolute chaos out there! 125/516.4 Hassan Khan bites the dust! A length ball on the stumps and he tries to get underneath the line of the delivery, whipping it away but miscuing it high into the air toward deep square leg, where it picks out Harmeet right near the ropes. 163/815.3 Run-out chance at the striker's end, and that's goodnight for Bartlett! A length ball and Hassan taps it to backward point, setting off for a quick single. Harmeet Singh rushes forward, picks it up cleanly, and fires a throw at the striker's end; aiming at just one stump and hitting the target. Bartlett is nowhere near the frame, a suicidal attempt to rotate the strike there. 155/7Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL192/8 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.76)Did not bat: Ghulam MudassarFall of wickets: 1-1 (Finn Allen, 0.3 ov), 2-23 (Matthew Short, 2.4 ov), 3-26 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 3.3 ov), 4-125 (Aaron Hardie, 11.3 ov), 5-125 (Hammad Azam, 11.5 ov), 6-136 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 13.2 ov), 7-155 (Xavier Bartlett, 15.3 ov), 8-163 (Hassan Khan, 16.4 ov)
