- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR28.4 Dudgeon finds the edge of an angled defensive bat, caught at second slip 115/216 huge shout, hard to tell from side on but clearly umpire George rules that was going on to hit the stumps 68/136.2 excellent line just outside off, bit of extra bounce, pushing fwd, edged & Muthusamy takes a superb catch at 3rd slip. 136/364 Muthusamy thought he had his man couple of overs ago, but now that is plumb lbw, trapped by arm-ball. 245/483.4 ball kept a bit low & the batsman was rather crease-bound, umpire George raises the dreaded finger 294/590.3 Pushed forward, that good channel just outside off with some extra bounce & the edge is found. Lovely catch taken by the captain at second slip, diving to his left. 324/692.3 Four now for Keith Dudgeon, wonderful delivery, bit of swing & through Nono Pongolo's gate, sends his off-stump cartwheeling. 330/7121.4 tries to heave Muthusamy straight down the ground, hit hard, but Chetty at short mid-on lunges to take a super catch 423/8Extras22 (lb 7, nb 10, w 5)TOTAL495/8d (142 Overs, RR: 3.48, 627 minutes)Did not bat: AM PhangisoFall of wickets: 1-68 (Dominic Hendricks, 15.6 ov), 2-115 (Joshua Richards, 28.4 ov), 3-136 (Reeza Hendricks, 36.2 ov), 4-245 (Kagiso Rapulana, 63.6 ov), 5-294 (Nicky van den Bergh, 83.4 ov), 6-324 (Dwaine Pretorius, 90.3 ov), 7-330 (Nono Pongolo, 92.3 ov), 8-423 (Malusi Siboto, 121.4 ov)

- 2.5 Probably hit a crack, zipped in a bit low & straight through his defences. 5/239.5 Pushes it to the left of M Pretorius at mid on, Makhanya takes off a bit late, Pretorius shies and scores a direct hit at the striker's end, Ackerman is just short. 141/54.2 Fuller, bit of inward movement & Chetty played down the wrong line. The question is asked and umpire White answers in the affirmative. 5/311.2 drives off the back foot, doesn't get over it though & it goes straight to the agile Rapulana at point. 31/450 caught on the crease and trapped plumb in front 174/655.4 flicked uppishly to midwicket where Hendricks dives to his left to take a good low catch 181/773.5 short, plays back but seems to be caught in two minds as to whether to play it or not, gets an edge through to the keeper, umpire George takes an age to raise the finger 245/1059 playing back to one that kept low, middle stump knocked back 196/869.3 back of a length, bounce & a bit of away movement, Zuma can't resist a fiddle and gets the edge 224/9Extras26 (b 4, lb 8, nb 9, w 5)TOTAL245 all out (73.5 Overs, RR: 3.31, 346 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Grant Roelofsen, 1.6 ov), 2-5 (Jason Oakes, 2.5 ov), 3-5 (Cody Chetty, 4.2 ov), 4-31 (Senuran Muthusamy, 11.2 ov), 5-141 (Marques Ackerman, 39.5 ov), 6-174 (Sibonelo Makhanya, 49.6 ov), 7-181 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 55.4 ov), 8-196 (Keith Dudgeon, 58.6 ov), 9-224 (Lwandiswa Zuma, 69.3 ov), 10-245 (Robbie Frylinck, 73.5 ov)
