1.6 to Q de Kock, sensational! Reeza Hendricks leaps backwards and to his left to take a skier at midwicket. Prolific batsman gets prolific batsman. Beuran Hendricks got another length ball to rise at QDK, who was looking to over the infield on the rise once more. But he wasn't looking to slice this. Instead, he wanted to slam it straight over the bowler. Lost his shape as it got big on him and he could only get the inside half of the bat on this. It hung up at midwicket and kept moving away with the wind, but Reeza kept his eyes on it. 6/1
16.5 to F Behardien, Pongolo with the acrobatics! Runs to his right at third man, takes a catch, loses balance and is falling backwards. But he's on his feet and he flicks it back in with the perfect weight before hopping back in and taking this with his feet in the air. That is Behardien, and that should be it for Blitz's hopes of an above par score. Short ball from Hendricks, in the corridor from around the wicket. Behardien looks for the upper cut but can't get it over the boundary. Two big wickets for Beuran today. 91/7

13.3 to K Verreynne, trapped in front of middle stump and this is plumb. Good captaincy from Vilas. Rabada breaks the partnership. It's a slower ball floated full at middle stump. He walks across his stumps with the front foot stride and is beaten on the flick. 73/5

5.4 to DJ Malan, chipped straight to mid-off. Looks for another flowing drive but this length ball sticks in the pitch outside off and he's through it early. Bat turns in the hand, mid-off lunges forward to hold on. Olivier screams in delight.. 28/2
9.3 to Asif Ali, chops it on! It just isn't getting better for Blitz. The slowness of the pitch on display once again. Short and there for the cut, but Asif is through it too quickly. Thick inside edge thunders onto the stumps. 48/4

8.4 to Mohammad Nawaz, taken at cover. Rabada with a jog to his right from extra cover and a nonchalant take right in front of his chest. Length ball outside off, he opens up his body and slices from under it. Was looking to go leg side, but wasn't behind the line of it. 42/3

2.3 to RD Rickelton, tonks off stump! Oh this is a thing of beauty. Length ball nips back past the inside edge to hit the top of off. Rickelton was looking to drive him down the ground again. Can't do that twice to Steyn. he ambles up to the batsman and gives him a gentle smile. Quality bowling.. 13/1

15.3 to RR Hendricks, picks out deep square leg. Full ball on the pads, possibly a slower one. Looks to play the pick-up shot but there isn't enough of a follow through to lift it over that fielder. Perhaps he was looking to go finer. But he can't, and that's the end of Reeza Hendricks' enormous MSL. Falls just short of taking them past the target. 99/2
