45.5 to R McLaren, got him! That was the slower bouncer again, and he was caught between trying to pull and trying to avoid the ball. Ended up getting a thin edge that looped into Wade's gloves. 246/6 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 16 | 1 | 5.33 | 11 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
5.3 to HM Amla, gone! It's a short ball, quite pullable, but Amla doesn't quite make the best possible contact. He's into the shot too early and it's off the bottom of the bat and straight to a squarish short midwicket, where Cummins takes a good low catch.. 28/1 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 61 | 2 | 6.10 | 34 | 9 | 0 | 5 | 0 | |
16.4 to F du Plessis, gone! That was a good ball, rising uncomfortably from back of a length outside off, and he pokes at it while hopping across and gets an outside edge through to the keeper. 77/3 42.6 to AB de Villiers, slower ball does the trick! AB skips down the track now, and Cummins bowls the slower ball, shortening his length. AB looks to drag it from outside off and slog it over the top, and ends up scooping it straight into the hands of the man at deep midwicket, running in from the rope. 230/5 | ||||||||||
| 9 | 0 | 43 | 1 | 4.77 | 23 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
15.1 to Q de Kock, Maxwell strikes! It's a good ball, tossed up and angled in towards off stump. He looked to play it towards mid-on, with the angle, but didn't get to the pitch and closed his face too early. Leading edge pops back to Maxwell for the simplest of c&bs.. 70/2 | ||||||||||

| 10 | 0 | 45 | 2 | 4.50 | 27 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
36.5 to DA Miller, gone. It was fullish, wide outside off, looked like another slower ball, and Miller went after it but was too early into his shot. Scooped it straight up and straight down the throat of Smith at cover. 199/4 48.4 to RJ Peterson, gone! That was the slower ball, full and straight, and Peterson looked to slog it across the line, over the leg side. He was through his shot too quickly and the ball sneaked through and crashed into middle stump. 261/7 | ||||||||||

22.3 to GJ Bailey, gone! That was short and not massively wide and he flashed at it with no footwork. A bit of extra bounce and he gets a thick outside edge through to de Kock. 86/4 24.1 to GJ Maxwell, got 'im! That was angled in, that straightens off the pitch, and Maxwell makes the same mistake that Bailey made. No. Footwork. Whatsoever. Pushes hard at it and the ball takes his outside edge and first slip takes the simplest of catches. Steyn bowled that cross-seam.. 98/5 | ||||||||||

3.2 to DA Warner, lbw appeal, and it's given. Abbott has struck with a beauty. Warner defended from the crease, playing down the wrong line. It straightened a touch from middle and leg, missed his inside edge and struck him on the back pad, in front of the stumps.. 8/1 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 62 | 1 | 6.20 | 24 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
10.5 to SR Watson, gone! He's bowled a lot of not very good balls, and one of them's gotten him a wicket. It was a wide half-volley, and he could have smashed that anywhere, but he ended up going flat-batted at it and got a top-edge through to the keeper. 43/2 | ||||||||||
| 9 | 0 | 52 | 2 | 5.77 | 22 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | |
13.2 to AJ Finch, got him! It's a short ball and Finch has pulled it uppishly, straight down the throat of the man at deep square leg. 48/3 44.2 to MS Wade, another twist. It's another bouncer, and Wade goes for the hook, fetching it from over his left shoulder, was never in control, and McLaren runs in from the long leg boundary and slides forward to take the catch nice and low. 219/6 | ||||||||||
| 8 | 0 | 44 | 1 | 5.50 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
48.5 to SPD Smith, gone! That was tossed up nice and slow and Smith went for the big heave over the leg side. Was through his shot extremely early and the ball crashes into middle stump. Walks in to a standing ovation from the small crowd here. 267/7 | ||||||||||
