26.3 to R Pretorius, third appeal in a row, this one is alot fuller and umpire has no doubt is deploying the deadly index finger. 41/4 26.5 to S Mahmoud, batsman moves across his stumps and tries to work the ball onto the on-side, misses and umpire does not delay in giving the fourth LBW of the innings thus far. 43/5 30.2 to KR Kishun, a little movement off a good length and gobbled up at first slip. 50/6

4.3 to LN Mosena, there must have been movement back in to the batsman as the stumps are disturbs after Mosena offers no shot. 22/1 4.6 to KR Kishun, a seemingly unnecessary swing at one outside off and a tiny edge is easily gobbled up by the keeper. 22/2 29.3 to S Mahmoud, mid-length ball, cramped the batsman, and the ball hits the shoulder of the bat and pops up for the simplest of catches at short leg. 109/5
