Sussex innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
CD Nash	c Mpitsang b du Preez	7	10	1	0	70.00
	3.6 Nash follows Wright back to the pavilion, looking to clear mid-on, he doesn't get enough behind the stroke after dancing down the track, Mpitsang takes it at head height 29/2
LJ Wright	b de Villiers	19	12	1	2	158.33
	2.4 Wright is gone, he had been looking to hit straight so far this over, perhaps because of the long-on he looks to swipe this towards midwicket, he misses, the ball knocks over offstump 23/1
RJ Hamilton-Brown	c & b de Villiers	6	5	1	0	120.00
	4.3 this is a day for great caught-and-bowled catches, superb take from du Preez, Hamilton-Brown has to go, a mistimed cross-batted shot goes low towards the bowler, who has to change direction in his follow-through and takes it to his right inches from the ground 33/3
EC Joyce	run out (de Villiers/R McLaren)	21	34	1	0	61.76
	18.1 from R McLaren, Joyce's innings has come to an end, again he backed away towards leg, again he could only punch it to mid-on, where de Villiers klatches onto the ball and throws it to the bowler, who takes off the bails with Joyce well out, no third umpire needed 102/6
DR Smith	b Mpitsang	9	15	1	0	60.00
	8.1 Mpitsang gets a big breakthrough, Dwayne Smith is gone, he was looking to swing that to cow corner, gets a thin inside-edge and the ball deflects onto the stumps 49/4
MH Yardy*	b Bailey	12	14	2	0	85.71
	12.4 Bailey gets a wicket in his first over, Yardy is bowled as he tries to cut a ball that is very close to offstump, chopped onto the stumps 73/5
JS Gatting	c R McLaren b du Preez	25	22	1	1	113.63
	19.1 Gatting holes out, looks to smash that one into the crowd behind long-on, but can only find Ryan McLaren there 113/7
PP Chawla	not out	9	7	1	0	128.57
Yasir Arafat	not out	1	1	0	0	100.00
Extras	(b 5, lb 4, w 1)	10
