0.3 to LG Pretorius, nicks him off early! Turn from a length, and it feathers the outside edge as Pretorius looks to punch off the back foot. Jacks removes the tournament's leading run-scorer for a three-ball duck. Perfect start with the ball for Capitals. 0/1
403709.2585100
302618.6642100
3.6 to RA Herman, short ball, swatted to deep midwicket! Hermann looked to have got a good chunk of this but it just sailed nicely out to the boundary rider, running up from square, for a simple take. Not the most convincing innings and Royals lose their second in the powerplay. 19/2
401513.75100000
14.3 to DN Wellalage, slog-swept but picks out the man! There haven't been too many shots in anger from Wellalage but I guess he had to try to get a move on at this point. Hammered into the leg side but well held low down at deep square leg. 81/4
301414.6680000
7.1 to M Van Buuren, goes through him first ball! Right on the mark, van Buuren on the back foot and beaten by some appreciable turn. Hits the top of middle stump, and Simmonds is off on a victory lap. Very tidy delivery, particularly as your first of the day. Van Buuren looks flummoxed but he will have to depart. 41/3

412025.00132010
2.5 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rags away to beat the outside edge, DK does the rest. Was wide and Gurbaz tried to cover the line by dancing down the track, but the spin off a fullish length took the ball past the outside edge - dip may have dipped too - and Gurbaz dove back in vain. 9/1
4.5 to MJ Ackerman, aims the reverse, gloved to short third! It's proving fiendishly hard to get away here, and Ackerman perishes trying to manufacture something. Threw the hands but the ball went nowhere, looping towards the man inside the ring, Wellalage diving forward to complete the catch. For some reason the TV umpire is checking this, but it's clearly out - and Ackerman eventually has to walk off. 14/2
411614.00152000
5.5 to RR Rossouw, slog-swept... picks out the fielder! Decent connection from Rossouw but it has gone straight down the throat of the man at deep midwicket. Not sure that was the best option to impose himself, given the previous ball had gone for four. Capitals in trouble with one ball left in the powerplay. 23/3
401724.25121010
16.4 to K Verreynne, mistimed and taken in the deep! Verreynne cracks and Miller is the man with safe hands at wide long-on! Mujeeb has given nothing away and now he takes a wicket. Good partnership but the pressure will rocket up on the new batters from here. 100/4
18.1 to K Lion-Cachet, castled! Mujeeb scores a bullseye as Lion-Cachet aims a big slog to leg. Full, fast and dipping under the bat to hit middle and off stumps. Royals edging closer to the perfect spin defence. 111/6
403308.2561110
403228.0070210
17.3 to JDS Neesham, Neesham walks past one, and DK does the rest! The keeper shows safe hands when it matters. Fizzed down wide as Neesham went looking for a boundary. He whirled around to try to regain his ground but the bails were off in a trice. 108/5
19.4 to WG Jacks, top-edged to the keeper! Flat, skiddy delivery and Jacks can't get hold of his slog-sweep. The ball balloons almost straight up, DK moving a few yards to his left before pouching the catch safely. And that, ladles and jellyspoons, is the game. 123/7
