- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 gets underneath a full ball on middle and times the loft nicely but gets too much elevation and not enough distance as it drops towards the edge of the circle where Morne Morkel waits and waits before diving to take the catch 6/12 two in two for Lonwabo as he bowled it full outside off and Fulton drove at it without moving the feet, gets a thick inside edge into the stumps via back pad 6/23.1 and he gets it! Perfect ball to bowl, it was full on middle and off and swung back in, Stewart had planted the front pad across and tried to play around it but couldn't get bat on it and the finger went up fairly quickly 9/35.4 short down leg and he tried to glance it fine but it nips the glove and bat through to AB who dives to collect a good take low down 24/47.1 starts with a gentle long hop and Young looked to have timed the pull well but didn't get enough behind it and he picks out Ingram at deep midwicket 28/512.3 gets down to reverse sweep a full ball outside off and picks out Levi at backward point 63/79 full on off and he gets under it and swings it high out towards cow corner but long-on is there to ruin the fun and takes an easy catch 39/619 the action is all over at Hagley Oval as McEwan tried to hook a short ball on leg into the crowd at square leg but could only get it three-quarters of the required distance and Tsotsobe clutched it awkwardly to end an entertaining fightback 130/1017.4 very full on middle in the blockhole and he tries to smash it down the ground, bat hits ground and ball goes through to AB who dives to take a one-hander, Henry waits and the third umpire concludes that Henry got bat to ball first 122/817.5 gets forward to defend and sets off but there is hesitation and he goes back but can't beat the throw as South Africa have nearly ended the Cantabrian resistance 122/9Extras14 (b 4, lb 5, w 5)TOTAL130 all out (19 Overs, RR: 6.84)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (George Worker, 1.5 ov), 2-6 (Peter Fulton, 1.6 ov), 3-9 (Shanan Stewart, 3.1 ov), 4-24 (Tom Latham, 5.4 ov), 5-28 (Reece Young, 7.1 ov), 6-39 (Logan van Beek, 8.6 ov), 7-63 (Henry Nicholls, 12.3 ov), 8-122 (Matt Henry, 17.4 ov), 9-122 (Tim Johnston, 17.5 ov), 10-130 (Matt McEwan, 18.6 ov)
