    5.3 de Zorzi goes for an 18-ball 15. Yikes. This was a short-ish ball, de Zorzi ran across to the off side trying to play it over the keeper and over short third, but all he can do is get a top edge. Easy work for short-third 36/3

    1.5 full and wide outside off. Slashes hard at it, and it's to McConchie's left. Gobbled up! Mulder with a wry smile since he's mighty disappointed given it was such an ordinary ball 7/1

    4.2 shorter than usual, outside off stump. Esterhuizen hangs back and tries to club a flat-batted shot over the bowler's head but all he can do is slice it over Santner. Mid-on tracks across the circle and takes this 26/2

    6.6 easy as! Santner gets this length ball to land outside off. It turns, holds off the deck, and he's through the cut a tad too early. A dolly for Conway at point 44/4

    7.6 dragged on! Short and wide ball outside off. Turning away further. He tries to play a cut but takes his eyes off the ball after seeing that juicy delivery. Ends up losing his shape and he's unlucky as the ball crashes onto the stumps 46/5

    11.1 just when some sort of partnership was building, there's a wicket. This is Neesham, back into the attack, getting a length ball outside off to sit up, and Forrester's cut finds point moving smartly to his left. Forrester puts his head down, disappointed, trods back 68/6

    14.2 that's gone! Jamieson becomes the sixth man to take a wicket today. This was a length ball angling across. He tried to cut it, but the ball was awfully close to his body. Takes the edge, Latham dives to his left and takes a terrific catch 102/7

    14.5 Latham's claiming it, and that's another one for Jamieson! Length ball around off, cross-seam delivery. Coetzee tries to run it down the vacant third region. Instead helps it along its way to Latham 103/8

    16.2 off stump clattered! Full and fast, and most importantly straight. Maharaj backed away to play a shot through the off side, but he's nowhere close 112/9
