14.6 to DA Miller, Another bouncer, this one does the trick. Cutter didn't slow down off the pitch. Kept climbing and finished around head-height at fifth stump. Miller was committed to the pull and had to drag it across with a jump. Got a top edge that ballooned to short fine leg.. 130/2

10.4 to AM Tribe, Rashid gets the wicket. Does so with an 86ks googly on a length delivered from well behind the crease. Tribe went whole hog with the slog sweep. Caught on the deep-midwicket boundary. Third-highest opening stand of the SA20 ends. 100/1
17.4 to Sikandar Raza, Looks out lbw even though off stump was visible. Length ball with a lot of dropped spun in, as googlies do, after landing on fourth stump. Beat the flick and hit the top of the back pad. Hawk-Eye shows that'd go on to hit middle and leg.. 154/3

14.5 to GJ Snyman, Mokoena strikes with a slower ball. Pitched it up, Snyman went through with the lofted straight drive, too early into the shot and taken at long-on. 118/6

12.1 to HE van der Dussen, Long-off takes it. Pace back does the trick. Knuckle ball on the fuller side of length, vdD looked to drive through the line. Hit into the wind, ball hit just a touch higher than the sweet spot.. 109/2
12.4 to JF Smith, In front of all three. That just looked out. Smith asks Pooran, who says not to review. Cross-seamery at its best, ball hit the seam and picked up pace off the pitch. Length ball landed on fourth and finished around off. Smith stood in the crease and looked to whip it over midwicket. Missed it altogether. 111/3
19.2 to Rashid Khan, This should be out. Yeah, easy catch at long-off. Cutter released from wide of the crease hit a length and angled away outside off, Rashid stood still after opening his stance and looked to go over midwicket. Clean swing but went high off the bat, That might be the game. 169/7
19.4 to K Rabada, Rabada falls looking to repeat the shot. Cleared the front leg, got low and had a rotational heave. The length ball went off upper-half of the bat and was taken at long-on. 175/8

7.5 to RD Rickelton, Dances down and finds long-off! 95ks stock ball on a length around fourth, goes through with the lofted straight drive despite not being to the pitch of the ball. Gets it off the outside-half of the bat and long-off moves to the right, takes a low catch and throws the ball high. 77/1
13.3 to N Pooran, Taken at backward point Raza leaps towards the stars, has his hands low and roars after landing. The side-arm ball on a length outside off was cut hard. No elevation allowed, went low to Potgieter, who took it with hands facing up. 101ks. 114/4
13.4 to TJ Moores, Big spin with the high-arm action now. Length ball lands around leg and rags away wildly to beat the bat and hit off. Moores, who was back, trying to punch it to the bowler's left, played down the wrong line completely. Two in two. 114/5
