- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 chipped straight back to the bowler! Tossed onto the good length, Markram was through his whip to leg too early, a leading edge loops back to Rehan! 45/21.1 no doubt about that one! Big inswinger from Dwarshuis, shaping back into the right-hander who loses his shape on a hack across the line, and a thin inside-edge flies through to the keeper! 3/119.2 gets underneath another launch! It's not to be. Buttler was thinking only in boundaries, but Mahmood held his length well, found the toe-end of the bat, and point did the rest> His highest Hundred score nonetheless 181/510.4 holes out to long-off! In the slot, Klaasen looked like he'd got proper hold of that, but Ferreira was waiting back on the rope and swallowed a crucial chance! 90/313.4 round the wicket, dipping on the pads to the on-side. There's an appeal for a run-out, but did the fielder break the stumps before the ball had arrived? It seems not! Mitch Owen's quick release was deflected by the bowler into the wicket 113/4Extras12 (b 1, lb 5, w 6)TOTAL187/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Tim Seifert, 1.1 ov), 2-45 (Aiden Markram, 6.1 ov), 3-90 (Heinrich Klaasen, 10.4 ov), 4-113 (Leus du Plooy, 13.4 ov), 5-181 (Jos Buttler, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 more air from Dawson, rips it past the edge! 48mph, Clarke went for the massive hoon, and kept walking as Buttler gathered to whip off the bails. That target looks distant now 43/33.2 castled him! Smeed's streaky innings ends in emphatic fashion! Feet stuck in glue as he thrashed through the length ball, and has his bails trimmed by the perfect off-stump seamer! 20/13.3 too good for thee lad! Full, fast, slog that if you dare! Full, fast, inswinging, under the bat, thumps into leg stump! 20/28.1 floppy slog off the good length! Horrible miscue, no power or timing. Seifert at mid-on swallows the looping chance. This chase is off the rails now 43/414.4 width, picks out wide long-off, superb dive to seal the deal! Du Plooy saw it straight off the bat, made good ground, and that's the end of Phoenix's last hope 81/612.5 plop goes the weasel! Another deeply average slog through the good length... scuffed high on the bat, bottom hand comes off as it skews on impact. Atkinson barely moves to gather at short cover! 73/515.5 hoisted off the toe of the bat! Out to deep midwicket. A simple take in the deep. Dawson's control of pace earns its reward 85/814.5 yuck, a horrid hack! Fast, grips outside off, thuds into middle and leg, as Dwarshuis groans, with his shot and head aimed somewhere over towards deep midwicket! 82/717.4 yorker, we're nearly done here! Fast, full, into the blockhole, beating a cramped backfoot block at 91mph. This has been an utter rout 96/919.2 hacked out to point! It's all over!
