Matthew Potts looking for the slower ball there, maybe trying to be unpredictable but Heinrich Klaasen's wise to it.

There's so much power in his wrists.

The partnership between Paul Walter and Heinrich Klaasen is now worth 70 runs.

It is a stand that has wrestled control firmly into Manchester Super Giants' hands.

MSG had a boundary percentage of 26% in the first half of this innings. This is one of the best at this ground at the half-way stage; even more impressive given there was just a single boundary off the first 15 deliveries.

A little comeback of sorts from Brydon Carse as he finishes with two dot balls.

Strategic timeout time now at The Oval.
