    14.1 What just happened there? A lapse of concentration perhaps. But there is some magic to this delivery, it grip and bit off the surface, veered away a fraction, a top-spinner and he is genuinely outfoxed, needed to be a special delivery to outsmart him and this is indeed a pretty good delivery to get the better of the great Faf du Plessis. Look at him go, he is absolutely elated 130/4
    9.2 Taken in the deep, Jansen charges in from long-off and takes a superb diving catch! pace-off full toss outside off, didn't have the requisite power and doesn't clear the rope. WF find their first breakthrough 93/1
    11.2 Around the wicket, shorter, kicking and screaming back from outside off, he falls apart right after the long review and the outside edge carries to third man who takes a juggling catch 109/2
    12.3 What a riposte, low dipping full-toss on middle and he chips it straight back to Chadhary who is over the moon, gets his man and gets the last laugh, a soft dismissal. Wanted to work it leg-side and gets a leading edge 121/3
    19.1 Over the wicket, dragged a touch shorter and tempts him with a width, gets some lateral movement, squirted to third man up in the ring and he has to go, playing away from his body on this cross-seamer, another off-cutter, cutters have been used to great effect 161/9
    16.3 Slog sweep gone awry. Bowls it fuller on middle and it turns in a touch, quick through the air, goes for a slog sweep and has miscued the skier, went down low and lifted it high in the air, Jansen, maintain the reputation of South Africans being terrific fielders, runs in and coers plenty of distance before sliding and gobbling around midwicket 146/5
    17.2 Shortish on off, not that short on the second look, square cuts it past the inside ring and the batter at striker's end is well short of the crease despite his desperate full-length dive, even though the throw was slightly off, the duo ran the first one slower and a belated attempt to make up for that cost them a wicket 150/6
    17.3 He is no slouch at power-hitting. Slackens his pace and bowls it on a nagging shortish length and it jags into the pads, unable to work it away and umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger. Hosein uses the review. Was an off-cutter, nothing on the ultra-edge. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the top of leg-stump 150/7
    18.2 Length-ish and outside off, lower trajectory, holes out to deep midwicket, lowered his center of mass and hits it in the air, not enough distance 159/8

    19.6 Banged in short and just outside off, connects with fresh air and tries to pinch a run; keeper hits the bull's eye and they're all out! It's been a procession 165/10

    3.1 Is it a bird? is it a plane? No, it's Amshi! Wide of the crease, around the wicket, bit short and veering in appreciably at middle and leg, tries to tonk it over midwicket and livewire in the field, livewire with the bowl, livewire with the bat, Amshi takes a stupendous forward diving catch, terrific effort in the field that will definitely lift the entire team's spirits 19/1
    9.4 Hits a back of a length and makes it swerve from a wide off-stump line, he pumps it straight to point and the celebrations are wild! That's exactly what the doctor prescribed for TSK! Good comeback by TSK whilst Smith admonishes himself after an unforced error; he was batting so well. Can this wicket trigger a collapse? We'll see after the drinks break 83/3
    8.1 Around the wicket, length and angled across off, springs down and insolently thumps him downtown but hasn't got all of it, reverse cupped by Ferriera at long-off and Ravindra departs after a fiery start. Much-needed wicket for TSK as WF were flying; they need a couple more and that too very very quickly to stage a comeback in this game 79/2
    11.3 Fraction short and plugging away outside off, spots the width and his eyes lit up, tries to spank it away and ends up giving a simple catch to Rilee Rossouw! What a catch, quick reflexes and TSK are clawing back in the game! Doing the needful, shedding wickets, and they believe! 97/4
    15.1 Asking rate was going up and it brings about an error! Chaudhary shuffled across his stumps and tried a ramp, got too far across and missed the line completely as the ball disturbs the furniture, bails are off and leg-stump is askew. Huge wicket! Now it's going to be very difficult to stay afloat! He will be angry with himself. Another teasing slower shortish ball at leg-stump and the batter scripts his own dismissal 107/6
    12.4 TSK are turning it on big time! Shortens his length and bowls it on an irksome off-stump line, wickets continue to tumble! He gets trapped firmly rooted deep in the crease and tries to chop, troubled by the lack of pace and ends up chopping it back onto the stumps, Lamba is euphoric and having a great spell of bowling! 100/5
    18.2 Sliced in the air and gone! Yorker length outside off, throws his bat at it and man at deep backward point with the shades on swallows it down his throat! Ranjane has done well, caught it with composure and calmness. Another twist in the tale. Pienaar takes the long walk back to the hut 149/7
