Cricket Web Blue require 85 runs from 130 balls with 8 wickets in hand.
- Dave Watt to take the new ball.
- 0.2 Watt to Cloete: Flicked away nicely. They'll come back for two here, and the Blues are off and running.
- 0.3 Watt to Cloete: WOW! That's raced away through the covers. Cloete just leaned into it and it shot away. FOUR!
- 0.4 Watt to Cloete: "Catch it" is the call, but that ball flew fine off the top edge of the hook shot, and it's FOUR!
- It's Edmunds from the other end. The crowd is really energized now.
- 1.3 Edmunds to Camps: Flashing at it! It flies over Markus at slip and that's FOUR!
- 4.6 Watt to Cloete: On-drive and a beaut too! That was taken from a legstump line and timed to perfection past Edmunds at mid-on.
- Robbins replaced Edmunds for the 6th over. Early changes here for the Reds as the Blues have started at almost 10 per over!
- 5.4 Robbins to Cloete: Opened the face and it goes away for FOUR!
- Rich Edmunds replaces Watt now. Watt really searching for a wicket.
- 12.4 Edmunds to Cloete: That's pulled nicely! They're back for two... and they'll get another! An overthrow and that's 50.
Andrew Cloete 50 (38 balls), 5 fours, 0 sixes
- Edmunds' one-over spell has ended. It's Sean Bennett now for the 15th.
- 17.5 Robbins to Cloete: DROPPED! Cloete hit it on the up and Mamesh couldn't hang on at short extra cover. Robbins is extremely disappointed there.
- 20.1 Bennett to Cloete: DROPPED again! The bottom edge of the cut and it deflects off Gray's gloves. They run a single. Cloete living a charmed life at the moment.
- 20.2 Bennett to Camps: BANG! Not characteristic of Camps, but that's gone deep into the midwicket stand! Fifty!
Liam Camps 50 (60 balls), 3 fours, 1 six
- Gaurav Nayak relieves Robbins. Robbins did much the same job Fuller did earlier - tight and consistent.
- 22.3 Bennett to Cloete: LOUD SHOUT!!! Bennett convinced... but it's not out. Bennett stares in disbelief. Cloete survives. The replay portrays that as very very close...
- 22.4 Bennett to Cloete: Take that! Cloete gets his own back. Down the track and slog sweeping that on the full... for SIX!
- 23.4 Nayak to Cloete: OUT! Finally Cloete's luck runs out. Dropped twice and a close LBW shout, but this time he just chips the ball to Robbins at short cover. The Reds have a sniff now.
- It's a make or break situation for the Reds now, so Dave Watt brings himself back into the attack. He needs to get a couple wickets in this spell.
- 24.2 Watt to Goff: SHOT! What a peculiar wicket this is! There's something in it for the seamers, but anything off line is punished. Goff spanked that square of the wicket for FOUR!
- 24.3 Watt to Goff: And FOUR more! But this one is off the edge through the vacant second slip. Watt kicks the turf.
- 26.4 Watt to Goff: WOW! The text book cover drive to a ball that wasn't even overpitched! Goff collects FOUR more!
- 26.5 Watt to Goff: And another! FOUR! Goff wants to end this quickly.
- Alex Feeney for Dave Watt.
- 28.2 Feeney to Camps: GONE! Stumped comfortably by Gray and that's a sigh of relief. A very good innings from Camps ends. The Reds once again have a bit of an opening.
