Renaldo Meyer was the pick of the bowlers picking up 5/99 in 23 overs as they bowled the Warriors out for 381. Delano Potgieter (2/68) also took the last two wickets. The Warriors had made 331/5 after day 1 and were looking to add more runs in the morning session.

The Dragons are currently on 42/3 after Grant Mokena was clean bowled for 1 thanks to a peach of a delivery from Warriors and Proteas left-arm pacer, Marco Jansen. Lesego Senokwane (21) and Wesley Marshall was also dismissed cheaply as the Warriors took control.
Dragons’ captain Nicky van den Bergh and Senuran Muthusamy will need to bat on and form a strong partnership.
