- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 mishit to mid-on, Overton does the job again for Rockets! Hard length into the body, Markram tried walking down again but couldn't get the leverage he needed. Picks out Gregory for a safe catch in the ring 56/25.5 sliced high and taken! Well held by David going back and to his left from mid-off. Overton makes the breakthrough with that unerring hard length. Seifert looking to muscle down the ground but it gets big and takes the splice 39/18.3 Klaasen goes big... goes home! Takes on the short ball but holes out to deep square leg. Didn't attempt to keep it down but was again lacking the power. Simple catch for Allen a few yards in from the boundary cushion 56/3Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL137/3 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Tim Seifert, 5.5 ov), 2-56 (Aiden Markram, 8.1 ov), 3-56 (Heinrich Klaasen, 8.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 loses his leg stump on the scoop! Duckett started the night by giving a Sky Sports "masterclass" on playing this shot but gets a long way across his stumps, and has his leg stump ripped out as Atkinson goes full and straight 0/11.4 Atkinson pouches the steepler! 90mph outside off stump, Banton looks to drag it across the line and it hangs in the air for an age. It comes down with snow on it, but Atkinson keeps cool running in from deep square leg and falls briefly to his knees as he gobbles it up 14/29.4 picks out deep midwicket! Billings looks to swing over square leg but mishits it and finds du Plooy, five yards in off the rope. Hardly has to move and takes a simple catch 88/312.2 picks out deep square leg! David loses patience knocking it around and has an almighty heave. He gets a decent chunk of it, but these are big square boundaries and Atkinson gets around to his left, settling underneath it on the rope 98/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL140/4 (17.2 Overs, RR: 8.04 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Ben Duckett, 0.2 ov), 2-14 (Tom Banton, 1.4 ov), 3-88 (Sam Billings, 9.4 ov), 4-98 (Tim David, 12.2 ov)
