Nqobani Mokoena to Michael Pepper, 1 run, that would've been a scorcher had the fielder held on - back of a length and well wide of off, Pepper slashed it off the back-foot and it went flying to the right of cover-point - Fortuin covered some ground and then threw himself to his right, the ball hit his hands and popped over, harsh to call it even as a half-chance, but he's certainly saved three runs

Fortuin to Michael Pepper, no run, a big shout for LBW, Pepper though was a long way down the pitch and the ball could've been sliding down leg, but Royals have reviewed - pushed through by Fortuin as he saw Pepper coming down the pitch, has it pitched outside leg? Don't think it has straightened enough as well. No bat, we're onto ball-tracking: Impact stays with umpire's call (over 3m) and it's only clipping the legh-stump, once again stays with the onfield call, but Royals don't lose their review
