    0.3 Hundred, hundred, duck. Samson backs away early, and Jansen stays on a good length, and gets some swing and seam to hit the top of leg. I think it has shaped in in the air, and then ducked away after pitching. Both movements very little but enough at that pace 0/1
    1.5 no review will save him here. The short ball to Abhishek seems to have been the plan here. Coetzee stays short, Abhishek looks to pull, gets a big top edge, and Jansen takes the catch at short fine leg. They check for the no-ball because there has been one bouncer in the over already. This is only chest high so Coetzee is fine here 5/2
    3.6 that looks plumb to me. Tilak Varma and SKY agree. Not many have been able to do this to SKY. He shuffles across early, and Simelane has beaten him with a yorker. Just does him in with speed in the air. What a maiden T20I wicket to take 15/3
    7.6 Miller plucks a beauty at extra cover. He is quite close, cutting down the single, and Varma goes for the inside-out drive over the man. The ball is travelling, but Miller just sticks out his right hand overhead and grabs it 45/4
    11.5 what an unfortunate way to get out. Pandya has hit this too well. Straight into the wicket at the non-striker's, and Peter has got a touch on it. Axar just doesn't have time to get back in as this has been drilled hard. He knows there has been a deflection. He doesn't even wait to watch the replay and walks off straight away 70/5

    15.2 massive top edge. Rinku finally goes for the slow-sweep, and Peter is quick and on a length, taking the top edge to short fine leg. Peter gets into his go-to-sleep celebration 87/6

    2.5 picks out Rinku at deep backward square! Excellent change-up from Arshdeep who bowls a slower length ball, Rickleton heaves across the line and unfortunately picks the lone man in the deep towards the longest pocket. 22/1

    7.4 didn't pick the googly and Varun is pumped! This one kept drifting back in, Hendricks played for the turn away. But in pulling his length back and allowing the ball to do its magic off the pitch, he had Hendricks all at sea. 44/3
    5.2 drifts in from wide of the crease, this is a superbly crafted wong'un that beats Markram's slog and hits timber. He slowed it down very nicely to lull Markram into the big shot. 33/2

    10.5 right through him! Jansen's middle stump knocked back. Varun bowls the wrong'un on a length, it gathers a hint of pace after hitting the turf and Jansen's heave meets thin air. 64/4
    12.1 picks out long-off! Klaasen decides to take the attack to Varun, sees the ball tossed up a hint and goes after him but ends up getting no power or timing behind that as Rinku takes a simple catch. That's No. 4 for Varun. 66/5
    12.2 this is a dream spell for a cricketer having a dream comeback. What a ball. Goes around the wicket and gets the ball to drift in and straighten to beat David Miller's tentative prod. He hears the stumps knocked back and doesn't bother looking. He knew the moment he missed it, there was only one way back and that was to the pavillion. A maiden five-for for Varun. 66/6
    15.4 right through him! Simelane attempts a wild slog sweep but is beaten by the wrong'un. It was a release shot you saw coming. Bishnoi was unsighted and though it missed the stumps, and needed a little bit of coaxing to celebrate. 86/7
