- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.5 Is that a brilliant direct hit, there? Still short, right outside off. He punches this to square leg and tries to steal a run. Draper with a magnificent throw - the replay shows the opener's well outside his crease, and he's gone! He just had one stump to aim at and he had it down to an art, with that throw 67/50.2 And it's a dream start for Lachmund and the Aussies! Manack is gone first ball! Full, quick and swinging in late, hits Manack low, below his shine as he just can't get the bat down in time. Fairly straight forward decision for the umpire, as this was destined for middle and leg 1/15.3 Bulbulia has chopped on and he stands there in almost disbelief! Byrom returns to that length just back of a good length, as Bulbulia brings down an angled bat on it. Seams back in just enough to catch the inside edge, and it rattles the base of the stumps. Byrom's hands go to his head initially in disappointment, before he swiftly realises the good news 28/26.6 Lachmund has his second and it's the massive one of Rowles! Good length, pitches on leg and seams away just enough to catch the leading edge as Rowles looked to whip it onside. The ball goes high and straight up as Malajczuk settles under it at mid-off and makes no mistake. South Africa in some trouble here now. 36/39.6 Four down! Bosman tickles one down leg! Super soft dismissal as far as Bosman and South Africa are concerned. This was a nothing delivery, back of a length down leg. But Bosman as just feathered it through to the keeper. Sharma meanwhile breathes a sigh of relief 37/432.1 Is this it? Yes it is! James going for some quick runs once more, but this time his attempted slog sweep ends up in a top edge that goes straight up in the air. Lee-Young makes no mistake with the gloves and South Africa are bowled out for 118! 118/1021.1 Out shouldering arms! Big error of judgement there. Back of a length, outside off. He just raises his bat and holds the pose. However, the ball tails right back in and trims the top of off stump. Did a lot to move back in but what was he thinking letting that one go when it landed so close to off? 80/626.4 And now he's gonee! This wicket was a long time coming. Keeps it back of a length. Gives it more bounce, a little more spin. Outside off and spinning even further off. Tries to cut it away but no conviction on that shot. Point runs to his right and bags the catch. Aryan has his man and the batter has a smile on his face, but he knows he misread how the cut would play out 99/729.5 He's gone, he's gone. The pace is as evident as ever. Banged in on a length and outside off. Goes for a wild swish across the line. Ball takes top edge and balloons up. Short third runs in to collect a simple catch 110/831.5 Nine down! No keeping this one out! Another one full and straight, but Soni gets a bit adventurous this time and looks for the drive. But that bat swing is just not quick enough, as this sneaks under the blade and crashes into the stumps 118/9Extras15 (lb 1, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL118 all out (32.1 Overs, RR: 3.66)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Armaan Manack, 0.2 ov), 2-28 (Muhammed Bulbulia, 5.3 ov), 3-36 (Jason Rowles, 6.6 ov), 4-37 (Daniel Bosman, 9.6 ov), 5-67 (Jorich Van Schalkwyk, 17.5 ov), 6-80 (Lethabo Phahlamohlaka, 21.1 ov), 7-99 (Enathi Kitshini, 26.4 ov), 8-110 (JJ Basson, 29.5 ov), 9-118 (Ntando Soni, 31.5 ov), 10-118 (Paul James, 32.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Outrageous catch! My word, take a bow Manak! Malajczuk goes for the pull off a back of a length from around off, but this time the top edge doesn't go too far. Deep backward square leg is running in, but running towards it is also Manak from square leg. The ball looks destined to fall between the two, but Manak dives forward as this falls over his shoulder and holds on to a quite stupendous catch! Manak only had eyes for the ball and likely didn't see the man rushing in from the deep. 7/111.5 Samuel is dismissed for the first time this tournament! Full and wide, and he has to reach out for this square drive. It means he can't keep it down, as he finds the midriff of Van Schalkwyk at cover point, who fumbles the first attempt but sticks out a right hand and grabs it on the rebound 45/228.1 Deserved for Basson in his last over! He flicks it away from a good length, on the stumps, and he just deposits it straight to the hands of square leg. Got no power or elevation on that 94/419.4 Gone! Again: way outside off, banged it in short and away from his body. Peak swivels at it, trying to play an upper cut, hand helicopters in his hands. But the hands are not quite perfect on this. Gets just a faint edge to the keeper 67/3Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL122/4 (32.5 Overs, RR: 3.71)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Will Malajczuk, 2.3 ov), 2-45 (Nitesh Samuel, 11.5 ov), 3-67 (Oliver Peake, 19.4 ov), 4-94 (Steven Hogan, 28.1 ov)
