Paterson to Chris Morris, out Junior Dala Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Rocks end the innings on a high. It was a fuller length delivery aimed on the stumps, Chris Morris gets under it and drills it wide of long-on. The fielder there did well to reach it and he fires in the throw at the non striker's end. Paterson fails to collect the throw cleanly and that triggers Junior Dala to steal a third run. Paterson re-gathers the ball quickly and throws it at the striker's end where Junior Dala is well short of his crease. Junior Dala run out (Tshepo Moreki/Paterson) 0(0)

W
Shamsi to Heino Kuhn, out Lbw!! Well, reverse sweep has been the go-to shot in this innings and it's about time it brings a dismissal. It was a fuller length delivery aimed at the stumps, the length was probably too full to attempt that shot. He fails to get any bat and it hits him on the pads. It was as dead as a dodo. An excellent innings from Heino Kuhn comes to an end. Shamsi takes off his shoe and does that telephone celebration of his. Heino Kuhn lbw b Shamsi 54(36) [4s-5 6s-2]

Wiese to Jonker, out Caught by Mosehle!! That's edge and gone! Wiese breaks the dangerous partnership. It was a slower delivery outside off, Jonker charges down and wanted to cut it past point.

Paterson to Heino Kuhn, SIX, this is a shot and a half! It was a length delivery around off, Heino Kuhn bends low and takes the aerial route over deep backward square leg. It comes right off the middle of the blade and clears the park. Yes, it's literally out of the park. Get the new ball folks!
