6.5 to WJ Lubbe, Too full and outside off, takes the bait and tries to loft it over long-off, wasn't in control through his bat swing and just chipped in the air, nifty diving catch at cover, the away angle does the trick, takes a thickish edge and he looks very despondent. 43/3 | ||||||||||

16.2 to SE Rutherford, Oh, another big breakthrough! Wickets continue to tumble and Royals are roaring! Pushed on a hard length on middle and leg, Rutherford takes it on and tries to slam it over midwicket, taken in the deep. Swiveled and almost got all of it, Raza, you cannot keep him out of the game, pouches it comfortably. 110/6 19.1 to KA Maharaj, All-out! Paarl Royals bowlers have brought their A-game. Cross-seam shortish length ball on a teasing off-stump line, tries to hoik it over long-on and Miller, safe as a house in the outfield, swallows it comfortably running back from mid-off. 127/10 | ||||||||||

3.1 to C Esterhuizen, Lights have taken full effect. Baastman comes over the wicket and hits a hard length, what a crackerjack that jags back and hits the top of middle, kissing the zingers as he steps down to try a disdainful mow downtown, misses it and doesn't account for the seam movement, pressure was building up, he wanted to make most of the powerplay overs and that extra bit of attack has cost him his wicket. 30/1 3.2 to JM Cox, Good-ish length and zings back into middle and off, he went across and tried a premeditated flick behind square not keeping into consideration the movement back towards him, got thumped on the pads and it looks very close. Review from Baartman. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the leg-stump fully so back-to-back wickets. What a start for Royals! . 30/2 18.1 to AD Russell, Hard-ish length, tight off-stump line, tough to get underneath but he had to go big, Russell, the muscle, departs, unable to clear long-off and the coach Shaun Pollock has a worried look on his face. Excellent tumbling take from the maestro RAZA. 126/7 18.2 to LB Williams, Second time in this match, he will be on a hat trick again, he has been unstoppable, bowls a short of a length ball outside off, chopped on as he looked to drive with a forward lunge. 126/8 18.3 to L Ngidi, Oh my goodness! He has done it! Picks the hat trick! Ngidi chips it back to Baartman and he instictively flicks his hand out to his right and gobbles it up gleefully, it's his night, an unblemished performance. He lunges forward and was trying to negotiate with the fierce bounce. 126/9 | ||||||||||

11.2 to D Brevis, Over the wicket, low-arm delivery, very low release, and it flummoxes him, length ball, skids on with a bit of seam movement and it didn't bounce at all, he exposes his stumps and tries to punch it through the off-side. 75/4 15.3 to SD Hope, What a sprawling running catch at long-on! Massive breakthrough. Shorter and outside off with not much pace, wobbly seam and had a low trajectory, fetched it from wide of off and tried to clear the fence, such as clever operator on top of his game and peak of his powers. 108/5 | ||||||||||

14.5 to DW Lawrence, Ngidi bowls a pearler of a slow ball! Dipping on a yorker length and completely gobsmacking him with a peach, pushed fuller and he was beaten all ends up, having a stunned look on his face. 126/4 | ||||||||||

1.1 to LG Pretorius, Pinned in front and he didn't even look at the umpire, touch fuller and got it jag back just enough to tenderize his pads, after a meeting, Tribe decides to send it upstairs, think only thing that can save him is an inside-edge. Pitched on a length and got it to shape back at middle, looks like there's no bat involved, confirmed by ultra-edge. pitching in line, impact in line and hitting middle so not sure why he took the review because it always looked out. Beautiful bowling, not too short and not too full, tried to flick and missed the straighter one, exactly what PC needed. 5/1 3.2 to AM Tribe, On a length or a touch fuller around fourth stump line, slapped on the up and finds the fielder perfectly at mid-off, don't know what's the rush! Just couldn't find much elevation and Cox swallows it down his throat. PC will grow in confidence and believe. 17/2 | ||||||||||

8.5 to RA Herman, Tries again and this time eyes the boundary straight down the ground, was a slower back of a length ball floating outside off, takes the aerial route and the bat turned, not off the middle, gobbled by Brevis in the deep, timely wicket which keeps them in the hunt, one more wicket and it will be game on. Tension rising in both camps. 69/3 | ||||||||||
