Raza to Matthew De Villiers, out Caught by Rubin Hermann!! Wicket against the run of play. It is Raza once again who breaks the partnership and provides the breakthrough. But this was a tough shot to execute. Short and turning in, De Villiers hangs back and tries to loft it over extra cover, gets it straighter than he would have liked and Hermann moves around to his left near long-off to take the catch. The pair had started to accelerate and the Royals need to break the stand. Matthew De Villiers c Rubin Hermann b Raza 30(22) [4s-3 6s-1]
