- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 Owen runs out of his lives! Slow ball off-cutter does the trick eventually. Touch fuller and pushing it across off, he takes the bait and tries to go big downtown, ends up slicing it to Allen at long-off but he remained true to his highly entertaining and enterprising methods, seldom a dull moment when is out there in the middle 55/23.1 castled! nippy and a yorker bang on target! That's international quality for you! Saw Smith shuffling far across his stumps for a paddle and Rauf intelligently rams a yorker on middle and leg and Smith doesn't connect 26/110.2 Ah, around the wicket, good length on middle, skips down the track and loses his shape and miscues the skier, shoves it towards long-off as the bat turned into the leg-side 85/316.2 Oh, that's a big wicket! Slower back of a length on off, stands front on in a bid to ramp and finds Haris Rauf at third man who takes a regulation catch, That is a huge wicket because he was the man in form and could do plenty of damage but a decent contribution nevertheless 144/4Extras6 (b 2, w 4)TOTAL190/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.5)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Steven Smith, 3.1 ov), 2-55 (Mitchell Owen, 6.4 ov), 3-85 (Mark Chapman, 10.2 ov), 4-144 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 16.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Flighted delivery fuller and outside off, slogged straight into the hands of Owen and this is a massive breakthrough and a major turning point in the game 125/25.4 Superbly bowled, pace-off shorter ball at middle, outfoxes him as he forces a pull and it goes high in the air, he knew was in trouble the moment he hit it in the air and Owen reverse cups it at deep square region, some respite for WF 102/1Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL193/2 (15.1 Overs, RR: 12.72)Fall of wickets: 1-102 (Finn Allen, 5.4 ov), 2-125 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 8.3 ov)
