    3.3 Huge appeal for lbw and given! Pitched a touch short and it kept very low, surprising Walton and it looks stone dead. He is not going to burn a review. Massive, massive wicket. He scored 80 in the Qualifier 1 against Warriors but departs early in the piece today. Shepherd has a big broad smile on his face but you gotta feel for Walton who got awkward bounce on this delivery as he tried to flick. Fortune not favoring Walton 29/2

    2.5 Castled! The dreadful death rattle means he has to back to the pavilion. How often he makes a comeback after being on the receiving end? This time he outfoxes him with a scorching delivery on a length that comes back just enough to beat his cut and pings the top of off. What a sight for the bowler! Big wicket for Warriors. A rash shot as he tried to clonk it across the line not accounting for the late movement 24/1
    4.6 Gets his man after Azam dropped a sitter on the previous delivery! Banged in short around the line off and gets it to scream and kick off the deck, Pooran goes for the pull, looking a bit ungainly, doesn't get the meat of the bat as the ball lobs up in the air as Shepherd at mid-off charges in takes the catch comfortably. This is a huge wicket 35/3
    18.1 Hetmyer charges in from boundary at long-on to take a staggering running catch! Kept his eyes on the ball and timed his dive to perfection as Carty larrups it over the bowler's head but just didn't get enough power as TKR bundle out for 94. Carty is despondent but he is top-scorer for TKR as only two other batters (Deyal and Walton) got into double-figures. It's a sorry looking scorecard 94/10
    6.3 Flighted delivery on a slightly shorter length and it spins away outside off, held in the surface, Pollard rocks back and picks the bones out of it but still hasn't got enough distance. Pollard cannot believe it, he stands still on the crease but he has to go as Ayub at deep midwicket settles under the ball and gobbles it up down his throat. This is a massive moment in this game! 42/4
    6.6 Oh my word, Hosein what have you done? He loses the plot and miscues a skier as Hetmyer at long-off makes no mistake, sprints across and takes a stupendous catch, tracking the ball from the bat, into the air and then safely pouching it in his hands. This is unbelievable, you got to question this approach from TKR after losing wickets in a cluster. He had barely spent anytime on his crease 44/5
    9.3 Russel bites the dust! Floated up on off, a legbreak after a couple of googlies. Russell takes the bait and looks to go big down the ground, has an airy wat at it and smokes it in the air and Pretorius at mid-on settles underneath the skier and takes a sprawling catch as Tahir is off, taking mad sprints to the boundary rope. He knows the value of this wicket. Tahir you can do no wrong! Warriors' captain is bowling with the same rhythm and accuracy that he bowled with in the Qualifier 2. Warriors are right on top, they haven't put a foot wrong so far in the bowling as TKR collapse like a house of cards, losing wickets in cluster. 49/6
    14.2 Appealing like an enthusiastic boy for an lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger! That looks pretty adjacent but he goes for the review. He was trying to shield his stumps but just a touch late in bringing his bat down. No bat involved, pitching in line, impact in line and smashing leg stump. Three reds and he has to go! This was pitched quicker and fuller, Tahir gets the big fish and he is off, brings out his fiery celebration! 81/7
    15.3 Narine holes out to deep backward square and Pretorius wheels away! Shorter and angling into the body around midriff region, he hoists it up in the air but didn't get much power behind the shot and wasn't quite underneath the length so ends up maneuvering it to Beaton who takes a stunner, had to react quickly and reverse-cupped it well. It was a cross-seam delivery 84/8
    15.6 Traps his lbw! Fraction shorter and it jags back just enough to beat his defence as Ali Khan is caught on the crease. Squealing for an lbw and the umpire nods in approval, raises the finger. Ali decides to take a second opinion on it, hoping against hope and it's three reds so he has to go. His team wanted him to tee off and hit a few out of the park but he has lost his wicket. 86/9
