Simelane is caught in the crease as he tries to keep it out but plays down the wrong line and is struck on the back pad. That is pretty adjacent and the umpire has no hesitation to raise his finger.

William ORourke to Brevis, out Caught by Seifert!! William ORourke strikes! Skiddy back of a length ball seaming in nicely from outside off, Brevis arches back and shapes for the ramp towards third man but is cramped for space.

Santner to Reeza Hendricks, out Rubin Hermann Run Out!! That's an outstanding piece of work from Chapman! On a length on middle and off, Reeza Hendricks eases it to the left of mid-on. Rubin Hermann takes off the blocks and is guilty of ball-watching. Chapman backtracks a bit, dives acrobatically to his left and releases the ball with an under-arm throw with his left hand. Rubin Hermann was caught off-guard. He hits the bull's eye and Rubin Hermann tries to get back but is well short. Brilliant bit of athleticism from Chapman. Rubin Hermann run out (Chapman) 10(12) [4s-2]
