    0.5 edged and taken! Back of a length delivery hung way outside off stump. Jacks follows it away from his body and does well to reach it actually. But that means he can only feather it through to the keeper, who takes that one in front of first slip! 9/1
    1.4 in the air, and taken! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump that cramps the batter for room and also hurries onto him a touch. Rossouw is late on the stroke and gets a top edge that lobs tamely towards backward point. The Capitals are in some early trouble now! 14/2
    4.4 knocks him over with a ripper! Length delivery in the channel that decks back into the batter sharply. de Bruyn looks for the drive on the up and does so without foot movement, leaving a gap between bat and pad. The ball breezes through that gap and then flattens middle stump! 45/3
    9.2 taken comfortably at deep mid wicket! Given a bit of air on a full length just outside off stump. Muthusamy has a swipe across the line but does not quite get to the pitch of the ball. It skews off the top edge and lobs towards deep mid wicket, where Jansen takes a comfortable catch! 80/4
    9.3 two in two for Markram! Length delivery on middle and leg stump that seems to hold in the surface a touch. Dadswell looks to heave it over cow corner but is early into the stroke. The ball spoons up off the top edge and Baartman does the rest at short fine leg! 80/5
    17.5 holes out to long on! Low full toss slanted across the batter outside off stump. Neesham looks to fetch it and deposit it over long. The angle, though, means that he toe-ends it straight to long on, where Markram dives forward and completes the catch! 157/6

    16.5 Rashid gets Smuts! Quicker and flatter outside off stump again. Smuts looks to go leg side but the angle is always against him. In the end, he slices it straight to backward point, where Bosch makes no mistake! 133/5
    1.1 Parnell breaks through! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface and shapes away a touch too. Erwee looks to work it to leg but ends up getting a tame leading edge that is gobbled up by Jacks at mid off! 2/1
    4.3 another very soft dismissal! Back of a length delivery at the stumps that holds in the surface, and it looks like Cox has not read the knuckle-ball either.. Cox is too early into the stroke and chips it straight down mid on's throat! 21/2
    7.3 straight to the fielder! Length angled into the batter on middle and leg stump. Markram's eyes light up and he looks to whip it over deep square leg. This time, though, he does not quite get the timing he desires and hits it straight to deep square leg! 34/3

    10.2 cleans him up with a 151 kph corker! Full and fast at the stumps. Stubbs looks to tonk that one into next week but he is just too late on the stroke. The ball breezes past the bat and then thunders into off stump! The bails go flying, and that is just the wicket the Capitals needed! 68/4
