    2.5 Strikes the top of the stumps! Back of a length ball on middle-leg with the arm, hangs back and tries to play it across the line, slides on and failed to connect, hits the top of middle-leg 18/1
    4.6 Generously flighted on the stumps, charges forward and tries to heave it over mid-on, throws his bat at it early and finds the outside edge of the catch, simple catch for Mujeeb at short third man 33/2
    5.1 Knocked him over! Good length ball with slight deviation away from the batter on middle-off, defends on the line waiting for the arm-ball, but this one turns away, no visible footwork, du Plooy is nowhere near the line of the ball, crashes onto the off stump! 33/3
    19.3 David Miller takes a blinder! Full and overpitched wide outside off, shuffles across early and whacks it straight, hits it flat, did not find enough elevation, Miller runs in and lunges forward, making a fantastic low diving catch to dismiss Bairstow. 139/6
    6.5 Moeen Ali has holed out! Generously flighted fuller length in the slot, advances forward and plays it inside-out, mistimed the shot as the bat face turned while hitting the ball, picks out the deep extra cover fielder, comes forward, sprints in, and takes a terrific low catch 36/4
    13.3 Length ball wide outside off, taps it towards the circle fielder and sets off for a tight single, sends Makhanya back, chance of a run out at the non-striker's end, looks like Makhanya is well short of his crease. The umpire sends it upstairs. Joe Root caught the ball and broke the stumps with his elbow. 72/5

    2.4 In the airrr.. And taken! Pitched up front on the pads, hangs back and flicks it away towards deep backward square leg, Sipamla goes back and waits on the edge of the boundary lines, anticipating the ball and reverse cupping it while remaining inside the ropes; an outstanding catch! 29/1
    4.3 Root departs! Short and too wide down the leg-side, throws his bat at it early, swings it away, hits the back-side of the bat and chips it straight to square leg. He could have dispatched it anywhere through the on-side, but only managed to lob it to the circle fielder. Soft dismissal. 41/2
    8.5 Looped up ball outside off, attempts to play the reverse sweep, lost his balance and walked away from the wicket, going out of the crease as well. Bairstow caught the ball and hit the stumps! 68/3
    18.2 Van Buuren chips it straight to long off! Slight quicker and fuller outside off angling away from around the wicket, tries to go big at it, mistimed the shot and lofted it straight to du Plooy at long off region. Van Buuren's very crucial innings draws to a close; he lost out on a well-deserved fifty. 139/4
