    4.6 sliced to short extra cover! Root, who was placed there, leaps barely a foot, and takes it with a reverse cup. Hermann, like his opening partner Crawley, decided to skip down the pitch, and loft over the in field. The ball was on a length around off, and Hermann only ended up opening the face of the bat and chipping it to Root 39/2
    4.4 popped up for SA20 debutant Karthik! PR's wicketkeeper sticks his right hand out, and eventually takes it on the second attempt with both his gloves intact. It was a length delivery on the stumps, and the ball turned back in. Crawley came down the pitch and looked to have a swat, but ended up getting a bottom edge on to his back knee. The ball jumped up off it, and went to Karthik's right 38/1
    8.5 slower delivery, and around sixth stump, as he bowls on a length. Abell plays the late cut wide of deep third, from where the throw arrives hurriedly, and close to the stumps. Karthik whips the bails off, and the PR players go up in excitement for a potential run-out. And, and... looking at the replays, you wonder why the square-leg umpire even referred it upstairs - because even as Abell was diving, he ended up a hundred miles off. So just as SEC had started rebuilding, they lose a wicket to hand it back to PR 69/3
    19.2 taken by Hain! A back-of-the-hand slower ball on a fullish length on the stumps, as Markram went ramming it down the ground. But seemingly beaten by the lack of pace, he eventually only ended up skying the ball very high. Hain, at long-off, grabbed it after judging it well 171/4

    19.6 pocketed at deep midwicket! Jansen was sitting deep in the crease, and even went across the stumps. Maphaka chose to go on the shorter side of a length, and got this slower ball to shape away and finish around sixth stump. Jansen went thumping at it with a hard pull, but couldn't clear the boundary 175/5
