6.4 to TF Rogers, Manenti strikes! Rogers chops on! Three-quarter length ball with a hint of turn away from the wicket outside off, clears the front leg and plays the square cut, thickish inside edge and drags the ball onto the stumps!. 47/2 | ||||||||||

15.1 to GJ Maxwell, Soft dismissal, and Maxwell bites the dust! Hard length ball around the off stump line, clears the front leg and goes for the wild hoick across the line, connects the outside part of the bat and skies it high just outside the ring area, and Babar Azam collects the catch. Horrendous stroke there!. 99/5 15.6 to HWR Cartwright, Banged in short pitched ball with extra bounce off the pitch, and Cartwright attempts to heave it over the on-side infield, plays across the line and toe-ends the ball to midwicket. Curran sprints forward inside the circle and dives in to complete the catch.. 107/6 18.5 to MJ Swepson, Edwards gets his third scalp! Slower bouncer ball and Swepson heaves it in the air, does not get quite hold of it, miscues the stroke to short midwicket for a regulation catch. 122/9 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 15 | 2 | 3.75 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
5.6 to SB Harper, Davies finds the breakthrough! Quicker ball is fired in on the pads, slides on and follows Harper as he moves away from the wicket. Harper tries to whack the 97 kph ball out of the park, misses the line and length, hits the back pad and ricochets onto the off stump!. 43/1 7.6 to C Kellaway, up in the air, and Manenti gobbles it up! Slower through the air ball around middle-leg, gets down on one knee and plays the paddle sweep aerially, a slight deviation off the pitch, hits it flat and finds the long leg fielder. Manenti runs to his right side and grabs on to it.. 53/3 | ||||||||||
| 3.5 | 1 | 13 | 4 | 3.39 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
13.4 to BD Macdonald, Edged and taken! Bowls a widish length ball pace on delivery outside off, stays inside the crease and plays the square cut, extra bounce off the pitch and nicks it through to the keeper behind the stumps.. 97/4 17.4 to MP Stoinis, Pace on hard length ball on the stumps, tries to smash it over the mid-off area, plays with hard hands and chips it straight to Babar Azam in the cover area. Another soft dismissal for the Stars!. 116/7 17.5 to Haris Rauf, Back to back wickets for Dwarshuis! Three-quarter length ball angling in on the fifth stump line, Rauf backs away and tries to poke it through third man area, gets a faint outside edge and gifts a simple catch to Philippe behind the stumps.. 116/8 19.5 to LC Hatcher, Stars are bowled out! Hard length ball around off angling away, makes room and slices it in the air towards cover point area; fielder moves to his right side and pouches it with ease.. 128/10 | ||||||||||

2.1 to MC Henriques, Massive appeal and the finger goes up! Siddle strikes straightaway, and Henriques walks back towards the dugout after a quick chat with Babar. Good length ball on around middle-off, nips back in and hits the front pad as Henriques plays off the front foot, tries to work it away with the angle.. 20/1 | ||||||||||

9.5 to JR Philippe, Slower ball does the trick again! Off-cutter ball outside off, plays the lofted drive and the bat face rotates, connects the inner part of the bat and hits it flat towards long on. Rogers charges in and launches himself into a full-length dive to pluck a brilliant catch.. 75/3 | ||||||||||

6.3 to Babar Azam, Was there an inside edge? Nope! Stoinis appeals and the umpire is convinced too! Full and straight on the stumps, shapes a wee bit in, plays off the front foot across the line, closes the face of the bat too early and misses the line and length. Babar has a quick chat with Philippe and decides to stay with the original decision. Babar's struggle with the bat ends tonight.. 48/2 12.2 to SM Curran, straight up in the air, and Rauf grabs it! Slower ball through the air on the off stump line, walks forward and tries to loft it over mid-off area, mistimed the stroke and Rauf tracks back from the circle area to gobble it up.. 89/4 | ||||||||||
