Harmer to Pant, out Caught&Bowled!! This was coming - Pant was all at sea against Harmer and he's chipped a simple return catch now - Excellent variation from Harmer, slowed down the pace at 87 kmph and gets it to drift onto the left-hander - Pant was looking to drive, through the shot too early as it stops on him and offers a simple return catch to the bowler. He was never going to drop those and India find themselves in a big hole now. No Gill, and they've lost half their side as well. They've taken drinks at the fall of the wicket.

Marco Jansen to Pant, 1 run, short and wide of off - Pant goes up and over backward point, was in the air for a long time, but it bounces short of third man, who was running across to his left
15.5
Maharaj to Pant, 1 run, flighted delivery outside off - Pant makes room and punches it square on the off-side for a single
15.4
Maharaj to Pant, no run, a massive appeal for a catch at backward short-leg - South Africa were celebrating, but umpire Chris Gaffaney's finger stayed down. They've reviewed, was the attempted reverse sweep from Pant - did it catch the glove as it popped up? No, it's clearly come off the fore-arm and into de Zorzi's hands - NOT OUT for a catch, umpire Richard Kettleborough checks for LBW and the impact is outside the line of off-stump - South Africa have lost their second review
