16.4 to S de Kock, beaten by a lovely yorker, the off stump is askew. 39/1 60.5 to BJ Thomas, comes down the track, looks to play to mid wicket but instead has his leg stump knocked back. 179/3

68.4 to DL Brown, chases a wide delivery but he edges it to the keeper. 203/5 70.4 to AZM Dyili, umpire Birkenstock thinks a long time, in fact it sounded like a second appeal was launched. 216/6 72.2 to L Mbane, swats at a short leg side deliver, faint edge. 218/9

14.5 to AM Northcote, miscued pull to mid on, batsman is angry at himself for throwing it away. 55/1 24.3 to MD Walters, the long impasse is broken as he edges it to 3rd slip and at last one carries. 79/2 36.3 to RCC Canning, pushes at that one, edged low to the keeper and he walks off without having to be told. 107/5 46.3 to CJ Arkell, gets in a reasonable stride but umpire Engelbrecht is satisfied that it was hitting. 134/7
Darryl Brown	20	4	65	4	3.25	95	9	0	2	0
27.1 to RJ Ramoo, edged to 3rd slip, Bennet juggles with it a few times before clinging on. 92/3 39.2 to TL Tsolekile, trapped on the front foot, he takes a look at the umpire as he walks off. The way he played the ball suggested it was leg side, but this commentary point is at a wide mid off position so hard to tell. 114/6 47.3 to M Mahlombe, full blooded drive but can only get an edge to it. 137/8 49.5 to LF Simpson, . 155/9
