Nandre Burger to Fortuin, out Tshepo Moreki Run Out!! It's the last ball, and Fortuin has to swing. But all he can do is inside-edge it down to the keeper, and Quinton isn't missing out on the direct hit. Moreki's well out, he's given up in fact. Tshepo Moreki run out (de Kock) 4(10)

Nandre Burger to Paterson, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! So this is how you make up for dropping sitters, by plucking stunners like these. It's Paterson's turn now to fall to an airy slice, making room for himself first and then carving it off the outer half over backward point, where Nawaz runs back, and judges the dip really well. Paterson c Mohammad Nawaz b Nandre Burger 6(5) [4s-1]
16.5
W
Siboto to Mosehle, out Caught by Janneman Malan!! It's falling apart rather quickly, thanks to yet another slog. Mosehle tries hoicking this one, but the ball sticks in and Mosehle's through his shot. So yes, again, a miscue, ballooning up, long-on. Mosehle c Janneman Malan b Siboto 2(8)

Siboto to Paterson, FOUR, short, wide, Paterson flays his hands at it, getting a thick outside-edge down to third man

Steyn to du Plessis, out Caught by Nandre Burger !! The slower sucker does the trick. It's fuller on the stumps, making Faf wait for the ball to get to him, and he's through his shot by then. The result - a miscued chip up, right to where deep mid-on is. du Plessis c Nandre Burger b Steyn 61(39) [4s-4 6s-2]

Steyn to du Plessis, FOUR, juicy short one. Faf makes room, freeing up his hands and slapping it powerfully over point. It's the world's quickest bowler you're talking about here

W
Ferisco Adams to Wiese, out Wiese Run Out!! 1 run completed. They try stealing another steaky second, but this time it went straight to the fielder in the deep, who fires a flat throw back next to the stumps, where Quinton's waiting, and his palms do a Dhoni. Once again, steering a delivery to deep backward point, but then, he has only himself to blame here for the calling. Wiese run out (Phehlukwayo/de Kock) 3(2)

W
Nandre Burger to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Janneman Malan!! It was eleven balls of slogging, missing, connecting, mistiming and the twelfth is obviously another slog - to a delivery wide outside off, making Bravo reach as he slices, off the toe-end uppishly with no control and down deep backward point's throat. Dwayne Bravo c Janneman Malan b Nandre Burger 10(12) [4s-1]

Nandre Burger to Dwayne Bravo, FOUR, brutal. Bravo continues moving away, gets a slightly fuller length and flat-bats it straight back, hard. Real hard

Siboto to van Jaarsveld, out Caught by de Kock! Charges and perishes! A shortish delivery across the left-hander, van Jaarsveld rushes down the track and swings across the line to mow that over the on-side, gets a thick edge to the 'keeper, who picks it up comfortably. An uncomfortbale stay in the middle comes to an end for van Jaarsveld. van Jaarsveld c de Kock b Siboto 14(16) [4s-1]

Phehlukwayo to du Plessis, FOUR, half-volley on middle, du Plessis middles the bottom-handed drive down the ground for four - and Steyn dives in vain - looks like he's injured! Back on his feet...

Steyn to Delport, out Caught by Janneman Malan! Another one bites the dust! Another short one on the body, Delport mistimes the pull off the splice and the fielder at backward square leg picks up a fantastic catch with a dive to right... Delport c Janneman Malan b Steyn 24(16) [4s-4 6s-1]

Ferisco Adams to Markram, out Caught by Asif Ali!! SIX and OUT! A worse delivery - a half-volley on the pads, and Markram tries another flick off the pads, gets it off the toe-end and it lands in the cups of Asif Ali in front of deep square leg. A decent start, thrown away by Markram. Markram c Asif Ali b Ferisco Adams 8(5) [6s-1]

Ferisco Adams to Markram, SIX, what a fantastic pick-up shot! A length ball on the pads, Markram uses his bottom-hand to force it away - lofts it into the deep backward square leg skies for a massive six! They've lost the ball...

Steyn to Delport, FOUR, edged, and through the empty cordon! They'd just taken the slip off last ball! A back of a length delivery seaming away outside off, Delport is caught hopping on the backfoot, and gets an outside edge off the shoulder of the blade - flies through the empty cordon for four

Nandre Burger to Delport, SIX, okay, I take my words back - if the last shot was audacious, then this... wow. A tad short and into the body, Delport just nonchalantly walks down the wicket and pulls it over backward square leg for six. Magificent strike!
