The second leg will take place in Port Elizabeth on Sunday, see you then
fourth in the over, goes short and pays the penalty, hooked away past square leg
this is an even better shot, full on the off, slashes that over extra cover, races away
high class shot over the cover as he slashes a drive from the back knee on the ground
full toss on the off, crisply driven, half stop at cover, saved the four
goes short, pulls, not timed, loops away towards the square leg umpire
Warriors throwing it away now, Parnell starts with a slow full toss on the off, sweeps from the knee to backward square leg
leg side, sweeps, top edge takes it over the short fine leg
drives gently towards the midwicket sweeper
poor fielding here, sweeps straigh at short fine leg who returns well wide
inside edges a reverse sweep, ends up running towards fine leg
drives again, this time of the man in the ring, sweeper has a bit to do
flighted well up, drives firmly but straight at extra cover
all defensive on the off side
flighted up, has two fours already, srokes that to long on
classy cover drive as Botha goes too full
slog sweep works well as he strikes clean and along the grass, that will leave a wet ball
flighted up, ends up as a yorker, well dug out
shuffles down driving to long off
shuffles down again, forces to the on side, no timing at all, runs away into the gap at midwicket
