1.6 to LG Pretorius, Fuller in length and gyrates across off, doesn't give him much pace to work with, he tries to lift it up and over mid-off and drives it straight to Stubbs. Massive wicket, he doesn't like to be bogged down and always looking to play his shots, Sunrisers are absolutely delighted by this wicket, fiery celebration from Stubbs. 5/1 | ||||||||||

4.4 to RA Herman, Top-edge balloons up and taken at deep fine! Firmly rooted back in crease and attempts to clip it behind square, tough to negotiate with the searing pace, ball held in the surface, Sipamla does an incredible job, settling under the skier and reverse-cupping it well, Royals off to a shaky start. 26/2 19.2 to BC Fortuin, Back of a length and a little bit of tail into the batter at fourth stump, backs away a touch again and slashed in the air, looks an absolute worldie, covers a lot of ground and throws his body forward to take an absolute blinder! Hermann was the fielder, eyes locked on the ball and timed the jump to perfection. 108/7 | ||||||||||

5.2 to DW Lawrence, Royals in a bit of bother! Lose their third! Springs down the track and attempts to flick him away towards midwicket but ends up getting a thick leading edge that spoons to the man at short cover, Breetzke makes no mistake, Coles is elated, everything working perfectly so far for Sunrisers! Huge breakthrough, captain departs and Royals need massive rebuilding work, it's not a 200 pitch. 31/3 | ||||||||||

6.6 to AM Tribe, Crikey! That spun away viciously and he was stretching forward to drive, big stride out and clearly trying to neutralize the turn, top-class glove work from the maestro Quinton de Kock, another massive wicket. Royals in deep trouble! . 34/4 14.3 to Sikandar Raza, gone! Skedaddles down the track to whack it disdainfully over midwicket, beaten in the flight, was quick too, spun away sharply and wert pas the bat, de Kock gets rid of the bails quickly. Big blow to Royals and a timely scalp for Sunrisers, very quick stumping. 73/5 14.6 to R Powell, Did it carry to the slip? Looks like it did and Powell is taking the slow walk back to the pavilion. Muthusamy tosses it up fuller and gets it to turn significantly across off, draws him forward and a tiny edge carries to Jansen at first slip, everything working to the plan. 75/6 | ||||||||||

2.2 to Q de Kock, some respite for Royals, they have got the big fish! de Kock tries to hit along his merry way and didn't want to stymie his momentum, loads up for a big hoik into the leg-side and was deceived in the flight, ball rattles through the stumps and a subdued celebration from Fortuin follows. Ball straightened a wee bit. 30/1 2.6 to JM Bairstow, Traps him lbw! Looped up and it skids on, drifts in a touch and he plays down the wrong line, another massive scalp. 31/2 | ||||||||||

5.5 to J Hermann, Neither too short, nor too full, tight and irksome off-stump line, skidding off the surface, and he tries to mow it downtown, hits him high on the bat and caught by Lawrence around mid-off, run-rate is good but got to be a little bit careful with the wickets column. 50/3 | ||||||||||
