    5.2 Stirling's run has finally run out! Was a length ball, Stirling swings across the line and gets no hold of this at all. Ball goes flying a long way up in the air, out to square leg, where Vijay Shankar takes an excellent tumbling catch to offset the comedies in the field for Guardians so far 48/2

    4.1 Wood, what a beauty! Drifts this into a good length outside leg, then the ball seams away and past Tector's defense across the line. Skids past him and rattles the leg stump 40/1
    8.3 And Ashwin has his first in the ETPL! Was another clever delivery, floated up and then thuds into his pads, right in front of the stumps. Conway was down on one knee but the ball was perfectly pitched fuller, and keeps low as it gets Ashwin his first professional wicket in almost a year. Arm ball, seam up and drifting in 68/4
    5.3 And Little has his second wicket of the day! Full-ish outside off, tempting Tucker into a drive as the ball shapes away from him. Thick outside edge and the keeeper gobbles this up. Little is running away with his arms spread 48/3
    16.4 finds deep point with a slash and Hollard will be relieved here. He took the risk of going short and wide, Chapman scythed it away nicely but found the fielder 152/5
    19.4 straight to backward point! A wide yorker, Maxwell deep in the crease again and scythes it straight to Little. "You're f****ing kidding me," Maxwell says after the dismissal 182/6

    0.2 And Adair has struck at the second time of asking! All that experience coming in handy. Was length and on fifth stump, moving away once more. Tector doesn't move his feet at all and slashes at this, his drive takes an inside edge into the stumps this time 0/1
    1.6 Mid-off has clinched a stunning run-out here! Tector the hero. Was in the blockhole outside off, Waseem tucks a drive to the fielder waiting in close. Tector dives across the ground like Superman and lobs a direct hit onto the stumps before Waseem can get to the other end. Waseem throws his head back as he walks away, he knows there was no run here 13/2
    3.2 Six and out for Sanjay, who throws his wicket away here. Was pace off, back of the hand and inviting a drive in the slot. He drives this too early, and sends a simple catch to Maxwell out at extra cover 27/3
    4.1 Rapped on the pads and the umpire knows Mitchell is plumb! The batter reviews anyway. Was back of a length and moving away from Mitchell, who played this down the wrong line. Looks like it's hitting the top of off, or umpire's call at best. Let's see. And yeah, it's umpire's call. Mitchell has to trudge back 29/4
    6.6 Shankar has struggled and struggled, really, and is finally out chopping a cut onto his own stumps on 3 off 9. Was a length delivery cramping him for room then angling away once more. Shankar inside edges this into his own stumps and he must depart now 36/5
    7.2 Rapped on the pads and big appeal! Was on a length and angling back in, mild appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Batter was going for an on-drive but the ball deviated and rushed into him. The Wolves have gone for a review here, and why not. Guess what: it's three reds and the decision is overturned, Calitz has to walk back with Guardians six down now... 36/6
    14.5 taken at deep midwicket! Another big swing from Dockrell, this one cross-batted from leg stump, and he doesn't get the distance this time to clear Jordan. A pretty impressive and fighting innings in the circumstances 94/8
    12.3 skied high into the blue sky and Mark Adair adds a sharp catch to his tally of two wickets for the day. Ashwin charged down, Humphreys bowled it away from him and Ashwin mistimed it completely to the leg side and Adair sprinted in from long on for the perfect dive just in time 72/7

    15.3 deceives him with a slower ball and knocks over top of leg! A cutter into the strip, just short of length, Little goes for a pull and misses completely 95/9
