    21.2 played on! Ngidi goes short once again. King gets on his toes and looks to steer it towards deep third. Instead, he ends up deflecting it onto his stumps 120/3
    6.6 That's some catch by Ngidi. Was short from Jansen but not too short. Mayers went for the pull but ended up much more straighter than he would have liked. It went over mid-on but Ngidi pedalled back, put in a full-length dive and held it in both hands in his long fingers 39/1
    18.6 Oh, dear, what's happened there. Brooks sets off for a run, slips and is run out! Length ball on off, he pushes it to mid-off and sets off. King ain't going anywhere. To make matters worse, Brooks slipped in the middle of the pitch and even with the throw a bit wide, the keeper had enough time to flick the bails off. What a waste of a wicket. Was an easy run there. 110/2
    26.4 a soft dismissal for Hope. Uses his feet and whips it uppishly towards short midwicket but fails to clear Miller who leaps and grabs it with both hands. Fortuin and Markram too leapt in anticipation - some nice synchronisation there 152/4
    34.2 Oh, such a soft dismissal and Pooran will be livid with himself! Banged in short shoulder-high. Pooran had no intentions of keeping it down as he goes for a pull. Can only get a top-edge with the ball going straight down Ngidi's throat at deep fine leg. Easy as they come and West Indies lose another. 187/6
    28.1 West Indies in trouble. Powell charges down the ground but Fortuin had shortened his length. Powell was beaten in the flight, was nowhere near the pitch of the ball but still went for his shot. Missed the ball by a long distance and an easy stumping for Rickelton 160/5
    43.2 another stumping for Rickelton. Holder comes down the ground but isn't to the pitch of the ball. Goes for the shot but is beaten by the turn. An easy stumping for Rickelton 221/8
    38.5 Strangled down leg? Yep, he is! Banged in short, with the line shoulder-high down leg. He looks to help it away, the ball catches his gloves and Rickelton moves nicely to his right to complete a simple catch. Important strike for SA and Coetzee is pumped. 206/7
    46.1 third catch of the innings for Ngidi. Was short of length at the batter, a slower one. Hosein goes for the pull but ends up skying it towards deep square leg where Ngidi settles under it 244/9

    48.2 bowled 'im. Was a length ball at the stumps. Smith once again looked to hoick it towards midwicket but missed it completely. The ball hits the off stump 260/10

    2.2 Edged and taken and the catch is taken on the third attempt. Absolutely snorter from Joseph. Gets that to bounce sharply from short of a length outside off. Rickelton looks to fend at it, but the ball catches his outside edge and lobs to Mayers at first slip, who almost makes a meal of it. Probably took it a bit too casually as the ball bobbled in his hands, not once but twice. Ends up grabbing it, eventually. 15/1
    12.1 a loud appeal for lbw but not given. West Indies want to review this. Was a length ball outside off that spun back in. De Zorzi was looking to half-pull-half-flick it but is beaten and is hit near the knee roll. The ball landed well outside off but hit the batter in front of off and would have gone on to ping middle 87/4
    4.4 Is that another one? Yes, Joseph has the last laugh and the short ball does Van der Dussen again! Pacy short of a length ball into the body of RVD. He is rushed into the pull shot, gets hit on the gloves as the ball lobs over the keeper and Mayers runs around from slip to complete a simple catch. This is a stunning spell so far from Joseph, who is all over SA. 36/2
    10.5 Mayers gets the big wicket. Was a legcutter from Mayers, on the fuller side of good length. Markram was so confident that he tried to drive it on the up but the ball wobbled away to take an outside edge. Hope pouched a regulation catch 73/3

    18.2 a good return catch from Hosein, and the match keeps swinging from one side to the other. Was a length ball on the stumps. Miller was looking to work it from the back foot, towards leg side but ends up playing a touch early. It goes to the left of the bowler who dives across to complete the catch 142/5
    28.2 short of length outside off but Jansen has steered this into the lap of backward point 245/6
