- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR42.2 beautiful sight for any bowler, that one goes right through the batsman and rips out the middle stump 120/416.2 fuller and pushes forward, a little edge through to the keeper 40/118.5 taken down the leg side. The batsman looks amazed to see umpire Paleker raise the finger. 49/235.1 steps across and looks to work it with the spin, perhaps a bit straighter and umpire Brown is pretty confident to make the decision' 109/350.1 short and pulled, but that is a top edge and Hammond backpedals at mid on and takes the catch 155/642.3 gone first ball! Edged to 2nd slip and easily taken by Finch. Hat-trick ball for Fortuin to face. 120/551.5 mistimes the pull and he is taken at mid wicket 165/752.1 drives at a wide delivery, faint edge this time and the keeper takes a good low catch 165/862 tries the slog sweep but it has gone straight up in the air, and taken at slip 194/9Extras30 (b 6, lb 2, nb 22)TOTAL194 all out (62 Overs, RR: 3.12, 260 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Andries Gous, 16.2 ov), 2-49 (Shaylen Pillay, 18.5 ov), 3-109 (Diego Rosier, 35.1 ov), 4-120 (Murray Coetzee, 42.2 ov), 5-120 (Vassilli Orros, 42.3 ov), 6-155 (David Bedingham, 50.1 ov), 7-165 (Clyde Fortuin, 51.5 ov), 8-165 (Michael Faasen, 52.1 ov), 9-194 (Lizaad Williams, 61.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16 on the sweep, but a top edge and he is taken at short fine leg 34/154.2 looks to steer off the back foot, edged and Bedignham gets airborne from second slip to complete a great catch 112/632.5 another away swinger, and this time he has found the edge 65/243 wide outside off, delivered from around the wicket, he chases it and feathers a catch to the keeper 93/349.2 pushes back down the track and the bowler drops low to his right to claim the catch 110/450 pushes forward and it goes through to the keeper, umpire Brown thinks a moment and then raises the finger, but almost saying why are you still here lad? 110/572.5 back of a length, gloved to the keeper 150/956.5 mistimed drive and a good low catch at point 115/763.2 quicker, probably the arm ball, and umpire Brown is quick to send him on his way 130/875.1 defends but the ball rolls on and dislodges a bail, unlucky way to go. SA will need 271 to win. 151/10Extras11 (b 1, lb 8, w 2)TOTAL151 all out (75.1 Overs, RR: 2, 323 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Jonathan Tattersall, 15.6 ov), 2-65 (Harry Finch, 32.5 ov), 3-93 (Ben Duckett, 42.6 ov), 4-110 (Kishen Velani, 49.2 ov), 5-110 (Callum Jackson, 49.6 ov), 6-112 (Dom Sibley, 54.2 ov), 7-115 (Miles Hammond, 56.5 ov), 8-130 (Josh Shaw, 63.2 ov), 9-150 (Ed Barnard, 72.5 ov), 10-151 (Olly Stone, 75.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 edged into the slips and the catch is taken 19/161.4 cuts back sharply and hits the timber, that could be the final nail for the home team 152/712.1 trapped in front, you gotta go says Mr Brown 29/214.4 half a step forward and hit in front, umpire Brown raises the finger 34/324.3 glances but taken at an old fashioned leg slip position 65/432.4 first wicket of the day as Stone gets that to nip back in, and umpire Brown makes the decision quickly 75/540 on the drive, but that came back a long way and took out the leg stump 82/667.4 pulls at a short ball, but it's a top edge and taken at fine leg. The England fielders watch the home dressing room, but Kirsten will not emerge and the celebrations can begin! 163/964.3 this time he has got the edge, and up goes the Brown finger 163/8Extras14 (b 4, lb 2, nb 6, w 2)TOTAL163 all out (67.4 Overs, RR: 2.4)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Murray Coetzee, 8.3 ov), 2-29 (Shaylen Pillay, 12.1 ov), 3-34 (Diego Rosier, 14.4 ov), 4-65 (David Bedingham, 24.3 ov), 5-75 (Vincent Moore, 32.4 ov), 6-82 (Vassilli Orros, 39.6 ov), 7-152 (Andries Gous, 61.4 ov), 8-163 (Michael Faasen, 64.3 ov), 9-163 (Clyde Fortuin, 67.4 ov)
