    0.4 Jansen strikes in the first over. A length ball angling across Esterhuizen. He pushes at it with hard hands, gets a healthy outside edge and Coles makes no mistake at first slip 0/1
    12.1 Parsons is run out. Goes down the track but Muthusamy bowls it on the pads. Parsons flicks it towards deep square leg and returns for the second. The throw is accurate and de Kock does the rest. Parsons was just out of his crease. There was slight hesitation from him as he turned back for the second, and I think that cost him his wicket 98/3
    1.1 and he strikes straightaway. A length ball around off. Hope pushes at it but fails to keep it down. Bairstow takes a tumbling catch at cover and Capitals are 1 for 2 1/2
    18.2 a reverse scoop but miscues it. Was a slower one, full outside off. Brevis could only chip it in the air and de Kock pedalled back to complete the catch 155/6
    13.2 a run out at the non-striker's end. A full toss on the pads and Brevis hits it down the ground but Coles gets his hand on it and the balls goes on to hit the stumps behind him. Cox was way, way out his crease. It's referred to the TV umpire but Cox doesn't even wait. He knows he is out 108/4
    16.6 the drop hardly costs Sunrisers. Was a short ball outside off and Rutherford steers it into the hands of deep third. Sipamla completes the low catch with a slide 145/5

    18.5 Maharaj doesn't last long. Another slower ball from Jansen. Was on a good length in the line of the stumps. Maharaj went for a slog but missed. And the ball hit the stumps 155/7

    5.6 full around off. De Kock goes or the big one but ends up hitting straight up. There is some confusion who is going for it and it's Cox in the end, running in from mid-off and completing the catch with a slide 39/2
    0.4 Ngidi strikes early. Bairstow falls for a first-ball duck. A length ball around off and shaping away. Bairstow hangs his bat out and gets an outside edge to the keeper 5/1

    7.3 down the track and launches it towards long-off. It doesn't have the legs on it and Cox settles under it. Sunrisers are in a bit of trouble here 45/3
    8.4 taken at backward point. Was full on the stumps. Coles went to flick it on the leg side but got a leading edge to Chase who lunged forward to take it with both hands 48/4
