- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 Edged and taken! Shorter leg-cutter wide of off, not much pace and he mistimes it, fishing and hanging his bat out, getting a thick edge and the keeper takes a marvelous diving catch to his left! Just wanted along his merry way, aggressive style of play, prefers pace on ball so a great delivery, tempted him 30/115.1 Around the wicket, lobbed up on a wide off-stump line, fetches it from a wide line and the ball was swirling away, he tries to drag it down the ground and finds Hollard at long-on who reverse-cups it! That is a massive wicket; got the set batter out of the equation 124/44.4 Fishing and departing! Thumped into the deck, it nibbled away a touch from a very wide off-stump line, he wanted to smack a cut behind square and ends up getting a thin edge to the keeper; Little has bowled really well, mixing it up nicely and Levitt departs without making a big impression. The pitch has definitely come to life after the rain and it's taking off alarmingly creating serious problems for the batters 38/26.5 Huge prolonged appeal for an lbw and the umpire is convinced! Bit short and it snakes in hitting him above the knee-roll as he looked to go deep in the crease for a crunch into the leg-side. He has taken the review. It spun back into his pad, flat line on the ultra-edge, no bat involved. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the leg-stump fully so an excellent decision; good umpiring. He has bowled right on money right from the get-go 54/319.4 Slower and hurled fuller across off, frustrated by the lack of pace, hits it in the air and pouched at long-on 181/5Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL188/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Colin Munro, 2.1 ov), 2-38 (Michael Levitt, 4.4 ov), 3-54 (Shubham Ranjane, 6.5 ov), 4-124 (Faf du Plessis, 15.1 ov), 5-181 (David Wiese, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 That's a big wicket! Exactly what the doctor prescribed for Dockers! That is an absolute crackerjack! Got him into a tangle, jagged back towards off-stump, got a thick inside-edge and ends up dragging it back onto the stumps, that is a brute of a delivery! Such an awkward angle to negotiate and he got it to curl back as well 1/18.5 Full and turns a touch across middle and they are celebrating, claiming a caught behind, was there a feather? Umpire shakes his head and they have sent it upstairs straightaway. Everybody was sure apart from the umpire, it turned away appreciably. Maybe it just hit the elbow guard. Well, there's a clear big deflection as the ball passes the bat so Van der Merwe got it absolutely spot on here! Overturned decision, partnership finally broken; need a couple more to find a way to get back in this game 101/210.3 three-quarter length outside off, some room available and he goes big downtown whil fetching it across off, hasn't got all of it, van der Merwe is safe as a house, very strong temperament, lines under it at long-on and Ranjane strikes in his first over. That remained in the air for an eternity but Merwe didn't flinch at all. 111/314.6 Zingers are alight! Too little, too late? On a length and it's an off-cutter wide of off, kneels and chases it, gets a thick inside edge that goes onto rattle the stumps; gone after a handy contribution, still a lot of batting to come 154/417.6 Sharp lifting delivery around the line off, takes it on and tries to bludgeon it over deep midwicket, trying to put a lid on this game with a fancy heroic shot off the backfoot and it got big on him, couldn't control it well and perishes as van Beek takes a simple catch at midwicket 183/5Extras17 (lb 7, w 10)TOTAL192/5 (19 Overs, RR: 10.1)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (David Willey, 0.5 ov), 2-101 (Harry Tector, 8.5 ov), 3-111 (Ben Calitz, 10.3 ov), 4-154 (Sanjay Krishnamurthi, 14.6 ov), 5-183 (Noah Croes, 17.6 ov)
