    4.6 Cleaned him up! Pace off 128 clicks, angling in on the stumps, wobble seam delivery and castled Esterhuizen as he tries to play the front foot drive to the covers. 35/2
    2.2 Linde strikes early! Slower through the air ball pitching outside leg, Hope moves away from the wicket and hurries to the slog stroke across the line, connects the outside part of the bat and chips it in the air to the cover fielder at the edge of the circle. George Linde pointed to his head while locking eyes with Hope, signalling that he'd won the tactical battle and completely outsmarted the batter. 21/1
    9.5 Soft dismissal! Slower through the air googly ball outside off, clears the front leg and tries to pull it across the line, plays against the turn and top-edges the ball to Janat at short third for a simple catch. 67/3

    12.4 Rattled the stumps with a sandshoe crusher! 143 clicks scorching yorker right on the money; Cox backs away early to play it through the covers, missing the length as the ball lands on the base of the stump. Pinpoint accurate delivery from KG, and you can't do anything about it! 89/4
    18.2 Massive wicket! Hard length ball on the sixth stump line, extra bounce off the pitch, tries to drag it down across the line and gets the faint edge to the wicketkeeper behind the stumps. 158/5
    19.6 Rutherford bites the dust! Tries to go downtown, plays through the line of the ball and miscues the stroke, toe-ends the ball and finds Pooran at long off. That should have been hit out of the park too. 185/6

    2.5 Taken at long on! Cox takes a brilliant catch there! Fuller length ball around off, moves away from the wicket to create room, whacks it away, and hits it flat towards the straight of long on. Cox comes around and dives in to pouch the low catch, managed to keep his fingertips under it. 16/1
    5.1 Gets the big fish! Rickelton screams in agony right after hitting the widish length ball across the line, drags it wide of outside off and skies it high towards backward point inside the circle. A regulation catch for the ring fielder. 28/2

    6.2 Caught in short third! Softest of the dismissals. Russell has the last laugh. Three-quarter harmless ball on the fifth stump line, walks forward and plays the square drive late, hits it flat with the outside part of the willow and finds Ngidi at the edge of the circle. Russell is pumped up, and Pooran looks furious. 46/3
    8.2 Bosch has holed out! Back of a length ball and Bosch tries to send it out of the park across the line, mistimes the stroke and hits it to the right of deep midwicket. Brevis moves to his right side near the ropes and gobbles it up in front of the home crowd. 54/4
    8.5 Brevis takes a blinder! Hard length ball on the off stump line, Janat plays the flick stroke across the line, more like a helicopter stroke follow-through with the bat, hits it flat and wide of deep midwicket. Sprinting from the deep midwicket boundary, Brevis tracks the dipping flight of the ball with laser focus, lunging forward in a full-stretch dive, and he secures a sensational, clean catch just inches from the turf. An absolutely breathtaking piece of athleticism! 54/5
    9.6 Flighted fuller length ball in the slot, Linde goes for the big heave and hits it well towards the deep midwicket area, He didn't place it well enough, though. Esterhuizen didn't have to move an inch there, pouching the catch near the ropes comfortably. 55/6
    15.5 Fuller length ball in the slot, cross-seam ball, plays the short-hand jab and mistimes the stroke off the toe-end of the bat towards the cover ring fielder. Rutherford strides to his left side and completes the catch. 89/7
