    1.2 straight to cover point! Length delivery outside off that seems to just hold in the surface a shade. Roy gives himself room and throws his hands at it. Cannot keep his stroke down, nor can he get it over the fielder. Regulation catch, and the Royals lose Roy early! 7/1
    8.1 superb by Jacks at long off! Flighted up full outside off. Buttler tries to go inside out - a shot that he is very good at. Gets good contact but he hits it a tad straighter than he would have wanted. Brings Jacks into play, who judges it nicely to his left and then completes the catch with a slide. An excellent catch to remove an excellent player! 69/3
    5.1 and Neesham into the wickets! Full and wide outside off. Lubbe's eyes light up and he thinks he can loft it over mid off. Might have been some sort of change-up. Lubbe does not get the contact he is after, and chips it to the fielder in the ring, who takes the catch in front of his face! 51/2

    0.2 Salt perishes early! Length just outside off. Salt comes down the track and has a massive swish at it. The ball flies off the outside edge and Lubbe at first slip does really well to hold onto a sharp chance over his head! The Capitals in early strife! 0/1

    14.1 one brings two! Royals right back into this! Back of a length delivery on off stump that seems to skid through. Jacks makes room and looks to go over extra cover. Makes no contact whatsoever and hears the death rattle soon after. Fortuin is pumped, and this is a huge moment in the game! 153/4
    0.6 chops it on! Two in the over for Ngidi! Short, wide and that ought to have been punished. de Bruyn, though, wafts at it without any conviction and without much footwork. Shanks off the inside edge and thunders into middle stump! Ngidi is delighted, and the Capitals are rocking! 4/2
    13.4 brilliant work by Roy at deep mid wicket, and Rossouw has to go! Fullish outside off. Rossouw shuffles across, trying to access the leg side. Gets elevation but not the distance he is after. Roy catches it in front of his face before realising that he will step onto the rope. Flicks it up into the air, steps outside the rope, comes back in and completes the catch! What a knock this has been by Rossouw, though, it has put the Capitals in the driver's seat! 151/3
    15.3 Ingram falls too! The capitals are crumbling now! Slow and short outside off. Comes off very slow and Ingram is incredibly early into the stroke. Tries to keep it down but pops it towards Fortuin at point. He makes up ground to his left and snares the chance with a dive! 163/5
    16.4 miles up, almost touching the moon and when it comes down, Allen gobbles it up! Length just outside off. Neesham cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. Gets way too much under it and skies it off the bottom half of the bat. Allen settles himself and holds his nerve! 175/6

    17.3 Ngidi is down on the deck appealing, and he gets the decision he wants! Slower yorker on middle and off that dips very late, and does so very devilishly. Bosch gets into an awkward tangle looking for the sweep, and seems to get pinned on the pads right in front of the stumps. He has reviewed it because, well, why not, but this seems more in hope than anticipation. That hit Bosch flush on the boot and Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into middle and leg. Another twist in this game! 187/7
