Bjorn Fortuin	4	0	30	1	7.50	9	0	0
0.2 to SP Narine, Once again landed full and gets it to swirl away on sixth stump line, throws his bat at it and gets an outside edge to Baartman at third man, pockets a good low catch and Fortuin mocks him with a crying face celebration. That's how Narine plays, sticks to his methods and wanted to go with all-out attack approach. 4/1
Hardus Viljoen	4	0	21	4	5.25	12	0	0
1.1 to JC Buttler, Through the gate from over the wicket, landed a little short and got it to nip back a shade, hits the top of of off, pow right in the kisser, he wanted to whack it over long-off and didn't account for the movement and angle, bit bullish in his ways and bit reckless as well. 9/2 15.2 to H Klaasen, Gets a bit of width and hit-table length, but not much pace, drags a pull across the line and finds the fielder at deep midwicket, Pretorius takes a few steps to his left and takes a gem, crucial breakthrough given how destructive he can be in this phase of the innings. Timely breakthrough for Royals as we head towards another strategic timeout. 134/4 19.2 to AK Markram, Around the wicket, a full-bunger above waist height and he swiveled leg-side to negotiate, leading edge goes to the off-side, bowler takes a catch and he also gets run-out, lots of drama. He was standing a little outside his crease so that will be factored in as well. Well, third ump takes the initial movement outside the crease into account and it has been adjudged out, Markram has to go but take a bow, it has been one of the most entertaining and a complete knock by any batter. Gets a standing ovation and applause from his teammates and the crowd. 186/6 19.6 to E Jones, Around the wicket, fraction short and gets a hint of nibble back in, tries a ambitious whack over midwicket, misses the line and the zingers are off, nice sight if you are a fan of fast bowling. 189/7 Photos
Sikandar Raza	4	0	57	0	14.25	3	0	0
Ottneil Baartman	3	0	35	1	11.66	5	1	0
17.5 to LS Livingstone, Gone this time, so adept at death! Angling into the pads, pace-on delivery, near yorker, lowers his center of gravity and sends it high into the air, taken at deep midwicket. 156/5
Waqar Salamkheil	4	0	34	0	8.50	6	0	0
Delano Potgieter	1	0	11	1	11.00	1	1	0
7.2 to KS Williamson, Wicket just at the wrong time for Giants! A soft-dismissal, Williamson leans forward and gets a leading edge back to Potgieter, easy caught and bowled opportunity, another huge breakthrough, he got set and was shaping up for a big knock. 53/3

3.6 to K Verreynne, oh, that's an absolute ripper! What an incredible delivery, he is a model of consistency! Has a knack of picking wickets at frequent intervals, length ball jagging back, he lunges forward and tries to clatter it out into the covers, ball sneaks through the gaping hole and disturbs the furniture, absolute pearler to get better of Verreynne. 31/1 11.3 to D Potgieter, Looped up fuller on middle, spins into middle, tries a reverse sweep and there is an appeal for a caught behind, umpire remains unmoved, was there any glove there? has been referred upstairs for another look. Definitely a deflection off the glove and the spike means Potgieter has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. excellent diving catch from Markram who ran from slip towards short leg and took a wonderful tumbling catch. 65/5
Simon Harmer	4	1	13	1	3.25	15	0	0
10.4 to DA Miller, Landed fuller and skidded on off, tries to shovel it up and over deep extra cover, fielder has taken an absolute screamer, Harmer not giving any room to free arms, Jones hurtled to his right and took a fabulous running catch. This is a vital breakthrough, Giants have got the captain and the wheels are coming off, the chase is derailing. 60/4
Aiden Markram	2	0	9	1	4.50	6	0	0
7.1 to LG Pretorius, around the wicket, length ball on off, little bit of spin across off, makes room and gently caresses it towards the fielder at short cover, easy catch, Williamson dives like a cheetah hunting its prey and takes a lovely diving low catch to his right. 40/2
Liam Livingstone	3	0	25	1	8.33	9	0	0
9.2 to RA Herman, Sticks in the surface, lands it short and gets it to veer across off, waits a touch and eyes the boundary at long-on, finds the fielder stationed near the rope, just didn't have enough power and elevation, admonishes himself, hits the bat on ground in frustration, just when he tried to switch gears, he miscued one, good bowling to force him fetch this one from wide of off. 53/3
Gerald Coetzee	3	0	31	2	10.33	7	2	0
19.1 to GC Viljoen, Over the wicket, that's a stunning slow yorker, he was early through the attempted tonk down the ground and the stumps have been uprooted, Coetzee is chuffed and has a big smile on his face, executed the Yorker to perfection and reaped the rewards. 117/8 19.2 to OEG Baartman, Another pitch-perfect toe-crusher, attempts a flick and apparently gets on the shoe, missed the flick and given straightaway by the umpire. He wants another look, only thing that can save him is a deflection so ultra-edge will solve the case. Well, there is no spike on the ultra-edge and there are three reds on the screen. 118/9
Kwena Maphaka	2	0	10	1	5.00	4	1	0
18.1 to Sikandar Raza, Sounds the death rattle! Fraction short and gets a hint of seam movement towards middle, 147kph thunderbolt and he is simply beaten for pace, ruffled by the pace and unable to flick it away, was a struggling knock for him, lots of pressure and wasn't on song. This ball didn't bounce much, maybe he was expecting another slower, not to be. 111/7
