- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 Chipped to long-on! And King misses out on a fifty. This is quite full and King just doesn't get under it as he looks to loft it down the ground. Bat turns a little in his hand. Stubbs slides in from long-on and takes the catch. King doesn't get a fifty, but it's been a crucial knock 133/21.4 Has he nicked it? Quinton de Kock thinks so! This is another ball that stays low and Hope again has an ungainly swipe. De Kock has convinced Markram to send this up as he thinks that hit the under-edge as it passed on. And UltraEdge shows a spike! Hope goes for 4 off 7, despite trying to hit almost every ball he faced 7/114.5 Oh, this is a huge wicket! Hetmyer had to go for it and Maharaj tossed it wide, asking the batter to chase it. Hetmyer does reach it with an open face but ends up slicing it a little and it goes to Brevis at deep point 145/414.1 The pressure does tell! Maharaj strikes. Powell skips out to this length ball and loses shape as he tries to heave it away. All he gets on that is an inside edge deflecting the ball onto the stumps 142/3Extras17 (lb 8, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL221/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.05)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Shai Hope, 1.4 ov), 2-133 (Brandon King, 11.6 ov), 3-142 (Rovman Powell, 14.1 ov), 4-145 (Shimron Hetmyer, 14.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Straight to deep midwicket! Forde gets the breakthrough. Length ball seaming in from outside off, it stays a bit low and Markram tries to whip it away, but can't get the distance on it as it flies flat to Shimron Hetmyer who takes a good catch 27/114.3 He finally miscues one and has to go! Skipped out and tried to go inside out but skies it to mid-off. The crowd gets on their feet to applaud a masterful innings from one of the best batters the country has produced. 189/216.3 Oh, Brevis picks out long-on Hosein cramped him for room, fired in in the blockhole. Brevis can't get under it as he tries to go over long-on but it's Holder, the tallest man on the field, positioned there, so Brevis has to go 213/3Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL225/3 (17.3 Overs, RR: 12.85)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Aiden Markram, 2.4 ov), 2-189 (Quinton de Kock, 14.3 ov), 3-213 (Dewald Brevis, 16.3 ov)
