Lions vs Warriors, 21st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

A Birch to Eddie Leie, out Bowled!! The Lions have been bundled out for 157. Birch kept it full and on the stumps as Leie shuffled a long way across on the paddle-sweep, he missed and the ball rattled into the leg-stump. Eddie Leie b A Birch 2(3)

A Birch to Phangiso, out McGillivray Run Out!! There's a dismissal here, but is it a caught and bowled or is it a run-out? The ball has gone off the inside edge, on to the ground, then boot, and then back to the bowler. So, it's a run-out. Coming to the ball, this was full and just outside off, Phangiso jammed it back onto his boot and it lobbed back at the bowler. Birch completed the catch and for fair measure - ran across and threw the stumps down. Both batsmen were stranded in the middle, but Phangiso had crossed McGillivray, hence, the latter's on his way. McGillivray run out (A Birch) 17(14)

Magala to Bjorn Fortuin, out Caught by Fortuin!! Half hearted appeal for a caught behind and Fortuin walks away shaking his head. Magala went full and followed Fortuin as he backed away, there was a little noise, but was it bat hitting ball? Anyway, Fortuin collected it cleanly and threw the ball in the air in delight - he was convinced, so was the umpire. Bjorn Fortuin c Fortuin b Magala 0(1)

Smuts to Viljoen, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! This was tossed up on the stumps, Viljoen backed away on the wild heave and missed, the ball crashes into the middle-stump. The Lions are losing their way towards the end overs. Viljoen b Smuts 6(5) [4s-1]

Smuts to Viljoen, FOUR, tossed up wider of off, Viljoen has a big swish at that, gets a thick outside edge that rolls away through the vacant slip cordon

Ackermann to van den Bergh, out Caught by Fortuin!! van den Bergh has been strangled down the leg-side! This was tossed up and spinning down the leg-side, van den Bergh was looking to work it towards the on-side, there's a slight feather and Fortuin gathers it well - moving to his left. van den Bergh c Fortuin b Ackermann 12(12) [6s-1]

Ingram to van den Bergh, SIX, massive! This was tossed up on off, Bergh went down on his knees, picks up the length and plays the slog sweep - high and over deep mid-wicket, for a maximum

Ackermann to Dwaine Pretorius, out Caught&Bowled!! Warriors are pulling things back nicely. Yet another soft dismissal for the Lions, this was dropped short and on the off-stump line, Pretorius went back on the punch, didn't bother to keep it down, ends up offering a simple return catch to the bowler. Dwaine Pretorius c and b Ackermann 1(2)

Ingram to Mosehle, out Caught by Ackermann!! Ingram has his second wicket, this was a rank long hop, Mosehle's eyes lit up as he went back on the pull, gets a fat top-edge - high and towards long-on. Ackermann settled underneath it and holds on. Mosehle c Ackermann b Ingram 16(14) [6s-1]

Gqamane to Omphile Ramela, out Caught by Lesiba Ngoepe!! Gqamane has struck in his first over!

Omphile Ramela c Lesiba Ngoepe b Gqamane 15(12) [4s-2]

Ackermann to Dussen, 1 run, tickled away behind square and that's a fifty for Dussen! A firm handshake from his partner

Ackermann to Reeza Hendricks, out Caught by Jonker!! Advances and is deceived in the flight, still looks to thump it over long-off. MISHIT. Jonker runs to his right and takes a simple catch. Reeza Hendricks c Jonker b Ackermann 25(27) [4s-3]
