16.6 to KA Pollard, bowled round the legs! Jansen out-thought Pollard there, and some! He was inching across to the off-side with every ball, so Jansen called his bluff and fired it in full and at leg stump! The end of a nondescript duck and, well, at least retired out is off the agenda now.... 115/5

3.4 to RD Rickelton, steps right across the full length, that's plumb! Rickelton reviews again, but there's less doubt about this appeal, surely. He was down on the sweep, front foot outside the line, but Green aimed full and straight, pinned him on the inside part of the front pad, and one look at the replay is enough for Ricks to start walking back. Three reds, smashing middle and leg. 11/1
9.6 to HE van der Dussen, straight through him! Rassie is done now. It was the perfect line and length, just enough grip to turn back through the gate and beat a wafting flick to leg. Stumps splattered. 71/2
15.5 to GF Linde, wonderful relay catch, inches inside the rope! That's incredible awareness from Stubbs at long-on... deep on the rope, toes just inside play... he has to reach back and cling on a metre over the rope, then lob the ball back into play as he regains his balance and steps back into play just in time. No quibbling from the third umpire. A priceless wicket just as MICT were getting some traction. 111/4

12.3 to N Pooran, urgh, what a revolting hoick! Pooran realised he needed to get a move on, but that's not the way to do it! Winds into a massive launch across the line, but gets only an inside-edge into his own stumps! A big player gone, and that bonus-point win looks a long way away now. 78/3

19.4 to JF Smith, takes on the drive, can't clear mid-off! Stubbs back-pedals and clings on above his head. Nortje hit his length, Smith's drive was high on the blade. A decent injection of impetus comes to an end. 146/6

2.2 to JM Bairstow, hacked to deep midwicket! Bairstow takes on the big heave across the line, but Rabada's pace and lift cramped his intentions. Off the splice and straight to the waiting Jason Smith. 15/1

17.1 to Q de Kock, wide full toss, patted out to deep cover! Stunned silence descends over St George's Park... Smith barely needs to move, to end a fine knock... QDK singled for another leftie to replace him... we shall see. 124/2
19.3 to MP Breetzke, huge top-edge, straight up the chimney! Pollard settles at midwicket, pockets the chance, and... well, is there a pulse? A dot-ball to the new man will be interesting. A fine knock all the same from Breetzke. He's all but sealed this contest. 147/3
