    4.5 flicked uppishly again and this time he's given a catch to midwicket! It was angling in towards the pads, Rohit flicked and found du Plessis, who tumbled to his right for a low catch 28/1

    7.5 so many catches flying around and now QdK has taken a stunner! Finally Rabada's short ball gets him a wicket - it was on the leg side and Dhawan pulled awkwardly and got the ball to pop up fine on the leg side. QdK took two steps before flying to his right and took it with only one hand! 35/2

    48.2 that's the end of Kohli, he's caught behind for 138! Shortish ball going down leg and he pulled, got a faint edge and QdK took it easily 291/5

    26.1 and the change works - Steyn has got him caught behind! There was some room, Rahane went for the shot without moving his feet much and the ball stayed a tad low to take the bottom edge and QdK took it with both hands, Steyn is pumped after a long time 139/3

    48.3 oh Harbhajan is bowled down the leg side! He wanted to tuck the ball to leg with the angle, and the ball deflected off his pads to the stumps. The umpires are checking for a no ball, and Rabada has overstepped here, nothing behind the line when his heel lands. Oh, hello! He's still been given out. Can't figure out the reason why that's not a no ball and the TV commentators are confused too 291/6

    14.4 big appeal and the finger goes up! Faf barely moved his feet for the length delivery outside off, it turned away sharply as Faf poked his bat and Dhoni went up as soon as he pouched it. Faf shows his displeasure by raising his right arm and says something too. Replays show there was some noise when the ball went past the bat, Snicko also shows there was something 79/3

    44.3 he's got the big wicket, AB is caught behind off a short ball after a fighting and valiant century! The bouncer seamed in, AB went for the pull and got an edge for Dhoni to take it low in front of him. AB gets a standing ovation as he waves his bat around 233/7

    38.1 loud appeal for lbw, he survives that and is looking down while AB wants a run, he has his arms in the air as if saying, "why aren't you running?" Morris realises that too late and takes off but there's a direct hit at the non-striker's end. And who was the fielder at point? Jinxy the Cat! 185/6
