    2.1 Over the wicket, landed short on middle with not much pace and he is caught up in two minds whether to go full-throttle on the pull or just nudge it around and in the end he plays a confused shot, pulls it straight to the man at deep square leg and Hassan gobbles it down his throat. Such a massive breakthrough; two wickets in the powerplay, SFU off to a great start. 9/2
    1.1 Edged and taken! Over the wicket, fraction short with a hint of nibble outside off, pokes at it and is in deep deep trouble, regulation catch by the keeper and Siddle gets one with a wobble seam; age is just a number, Siddle is a living embodiment of this statement 6/1
    11.3 Gets front on and in a position to reverse ramp, gets an inside-edge onto his body and then there's a belated attempt to run down the pitch; Siddle swoops in and pops out of the blue to ping a sharp throw and even a full-length dive doesn't save Rossouw; he has to go; this was not part of the plan. That's a massive blow to TSK 81/5
    4.3 Massive celebration, roars in jubilation! Third wicket down in no time, TSK in a spot of bother. Too much adventure; he lands it short and saw his movement towards off-stump, tries to ramp it away and loses his shape, clipping it to the keeper! He was looking good, admonishes himself and grimaces while walking back to the dressing room. Fantastic bowling, saw his movement closely and pulled his length back, that extra bounce and following him reaped reward 29/3
    7.5 looped up on a length towards middle, tad quicker and he tries to power it over deep backward square but finds the man to perfection who is stationed perfectly there for this mishit, hits agains tthe wind and Hammad Azam swallows it down his throat so the wickets continue to fall and they need a 50-odd partnership before they can step on the gas paddle 50/4

    17.2 Miscommunication! Ferreira was halfway down the pitch after taking off from non-striker's end. The length-ish ball was tapped to cover and the single wasn't on but he could have sacrificed his wicket; Ferreira has better batting credentials for sure 122/8
    13.3 That is a sensational delivery; on a length and spins in viciously to flummox and gobsmack him totally! Just stuck deep in the crease trying to track the line of the delivery and in the process leaving a big gap as the ball sneaks through and shakes the middle-stump 86/7

    18.5 Lowers his center of mass + gravity and gets baffled by the slow curler on leg-stump, ball brushes his pads and clips the bails; Siddle loved it, that's the sight that he loves and keeps him going. Went too far back into the crease and he actually dislodged his stumps, his foot touched it 138/9
