CNTBRY
All
19.5
6
Sam Curran to Will Williams, SIX, cheeky and six, Williams shuffled across his stumps, bent down low, used Curran's pace and paddled it on its way, way over the ropes at fine leg and it's a handy maximum

Sam Curran to Jamieson, out Caught by Robert ODonnell!! Can't keep ODonnell out of the game at the moment, third catch for him. This was a slower short ball on the stumps, Jamieson spotted it early and swung through the line, hit it flat and hard, but straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket. Jamieson c Robert ODonnell b Sam Curran 11(7) [4s-1]

Sam Curran to Jamieson, FOUR, lovely shot, length delivery on the stumps, Jamieson backs away, picks the length early and flicks it over mid-wicket, beats the fielder getting across from the deep

Ben Lister to Cam Fletcher, out Cam Fletcher Run Out!! That's a terrible way to go, but Cam Fletcher can't blame anyone but himself for his misfortune. His bat was tilted upside down, he was in no position to ground it and he's caught well short by a superb direct hit from Hira. Coming to the ball, it was a low full-toss outside off, Cam Fletcher was looking to heave and got an inside edge towards square leg. Cam Fletcher run out (R Hira) 46(42) [4s-1 6s-2]
17.4
W
R Hira to Tim Johnston, out Caught by de Grandhomme!! Back-to-back wickets for Hira, he fired this one quicker and outside off, the ball skid through after pitching, Johnston was looking to slash it through cover, gets a thick outside edge and it's an easy catch to de Grandhomme at short third man. Hira is on a hat-trick. Tim Johnston c de Grandhomme b R Hira 0(1)
17.3
W
R Hira to Andrew Ellis, out Caught by Grobbelaar!! That's a soft dismissal, but Ellis has done his job. This was tossed up on the off-stump line, Ellis was shaping for the reverse sweep, doesn't get the power behind the shot and offers a tame catch to Grobbelaar at backward point. Andrew Ellis c Grobbelaar b R Hira 40(30) [6s-3]

Grobbelaar to Cam Fletcher, SIX, stunning from Cam Fletcher, length delivery on the stumps, he gets a big stride forward and deposits it high and deep into the stands at deep mid-wicket. Much needed momentum for the Kings, can they get to a score around 150?
15.4
6
Grobbelaar to Andrew Ellis, SIX, cracking shot, length ball on his pads and Ellis needs no second invitation, swings across the line and thumps it into the roof of the ground at deep backward square leg
14.5
6
R Hira to Andrew Ellis, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Ellis, he didn't get hold of this one either, but he was hitting it to the shorter boundary, had to reach out for this lofted on-drive, took his bottom hand off and pumped it over long-on
14.4
6
R Hira to Andrew Ellis, SIX, great effort from the man in the deep, but he ended up palming the ball over the ropes. Ellis was targetting the short boundary on the leg-side as he swung, the fielder got across, put in the jump and only palmed it over the bar
14
Nethula to Cam Fletcher, 1 run, 17 from the over, pushed through flatter and on the stumps, Cam Fletcher went back and tucked it past mid-wic ket, wanted a second run, but is sent back
13.2
6
Nethula to Cam Fletcher, SIX, massive, Cam Fletcher is turning it on now, good use of the feet, gets close to the ball and lifts it back over the bowler's head, right over the sightscreen
13.1
4
Nethula to Cam Fletcher, FOUR, much needed for the Kings, Cam Fletcher came down the track, didn't get close to the pitch as he went through with the lofted drive, ended up slicing it high and wide of long-off, bounced just in front of the ropes at wide long-off and it's a boundary
6.4
W
de Grandhomme to McConchie, out Bowled!! Chopped on! The Kings are falling apart, this was full and this was wide of off, McConchie's feet was rooted to the crease as he threw his hands at that, gets a big inside edge and the off-stump is rattled. Half the team back in the hut, can they last their entire 20 overs? McConchie b de Grandhomme 2(8)
5.5
W
Grobbelaar to Leo Carter, out Caught by Solia!! The Kings are tumbling in Auckland, they have lost four inside the powerplay now. Change of pace works like a charm for Grobbelaar, rolled his fingers across the seam, Carter was way too early into his flick, got a lot of height but not the distance. Solia runs across from deep mid-wicket, sets himself under the ball and holds on. Leo Carter c Solia b Grobbelaar 5(6) [4s-1]
5.4
4
Grobbelaar to Leo Carter, FOUR, the slower ball from Grobbelaar, but the length is way too short, allows Carter to free his arms and pull it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes
4.3
W
R Hira to Bowes, out Caught by Robert ODonnell!! Catching practice for ODonnell and the Kings are in big trouble. This was tossed up slower and just outside off, Bowes made room for the inside out drive, didn't get hold of the shot and ends up chipping it tamely to extra-cover. Second wicket for Hira and he's on a roll. Bowes c Robert ODonnell b R Hira 5(5) [4s-1]
4.2

R Hira to Bowes, FOUR, lovely, fraction short and wide of off, Bowes backs away and cracks it square on the off-side, beats cover and rolls away to the fence
3.1
W
Ben Lister to Michael Pollard, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! Pollard is shaking his head as he walks off, but the Kings have lost both their openers now. This was short and angled across the right-hander, Pollard was looking to pull, there was a big noise as the ball went through to the keeper. Glenn Phillips was convinced, so was the bowler and so was umpire Billy Bowden. Michael Pollard c Glenn Phillips b Ben Lister 3(9)
2.2
W
R Hira to Nick Kwant, out Caught by Robert ODonnell!! Kwant was looking very itchy and he has holed out in the deep. This was tossed up slower and just outside off, Kwant was looking to heave it over mid-wicket, drags it off the inner half of the bat and finds the safe hands of ODonnell at deep mid-wicket. Nick Kwant c Robert ODonnell b R Hira 11(10) [6s-1]
1.4
6
Sam Curran to Nick Kwant, SIX, cracking shot, length delivery angling into the left-hander, Kwant leans forward, picks up the length and deposits it into the practice nets past mid-wicket. The ball has to be changed as it can't be brought back from the top of the nets
