    0.6 he's scooped it straight back to Fortuin. Went through the shot a bit early, and it pops up straight back to Fortuin. An over that began with a boundary ends with a wicket 6/1

    2.5 drifts in, holds its line, and traps him plumb in front. There's no doubting that, but Brevis still goes for a ridiculous review, to be honest. A review isn't a Magically-turn-out-into-not-out card, even if some players treat it like that. Yep, it's not saved him, and MICT's horror start gets worse 9/3

    2.2 drags this one down, but what on earth is that running? Sam Curran heads of for a run that Brevis sends him back for. Curran went so far down the pitch without Brevis moving it was a bit ridiculous. Curran nowhere near as Fortuin whips the bails off at the non-striker's end 9/2

    12.2 almost an action replay of the last ball. Even poorer connection this time and it's a straightforward for Miller. In fact, he had to take half a step forward as it was dying on him. Goes on his knees and gobbles it up 72/4

    15.3 Shamsi bounces back in style. Bowls a wrong'un. Linde tries to repeat the shot, looking to slog sweep it over midwicket once again but misses and the off stump had been knocked back 103/5

    15.5 Shamsi conjures up his magic again. This time doing the batter in the flight and beating the outside edge with the turn. Potgieter was drawn out of his crease and failed to get back in time 103/6

    16.5 impressive catch by Adams at backward point. Was slow, full and wide. Smith went after it but couldn't keep it down. Adams went low to his right and grabbed it with both hands 110/7

    18.1 a slower one outside off and Rashid goes aerial. Fails to middle it though and Miller who is halfway to the boundary at long-off pedals back, pouches it and falls on his back 124/8

    2.1 holes out to long-off. It's the sort of ball Roy would have comfortably deposited over the ropes in his heyday, but finds the fielder at the boundary this time. Was there to be hit, but as he stepped away to loft it over the fielder, just found a touch more height than distance 9/1

    18.1 that should be the game. Full outside off, Buttler tries to give himself some room to go inside out. All he manages is an outside edge to the keeper 121/6

    2.2 has he bowled him? It's supposed to be the most obvious dismissal, yet no one seems to have realised it's taken the leg bail. Lubbe looked to pick it up over short fine leg, but played all around the ball, which kisses the bail. The keeper is the first one to spot it, and just like that, Linde's on a hat-trick 9/2

    5.5 cleans him up! It had been a struggle for Vilas all innings, Rabada puts him out of his misery. Tried to run it down to third man, but gets an inside edge and chops it on 27/3

    6.5 absolutely unplayable. Lovely flight, in that perfect zone where the batter's feet get frozen, and to top it off, it's a googly that tucks him up and whooshes through the gate and clips the top of the stumps 30/4

    15.1 a huge wicket. Full around off and Miller goes for the big hit. Ends up miscuing it and Archer takes a couple of steps back at long-on and catches it with fingers pointing upwards 89/5
