- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 smarter bowling, and that's done him in! Length ball on middle. Turning to off. Vince comes down the track and looks to play it down the ground. But the turn means Vince has sliced it towards cover instead. And Hendricks back-pedaling from cover takes a sharp catch. 32/16.4 top class catch! Inches between six and a wicket. Full on leg. Faf comes down the track and mows an aggressive shot to the right of long-on. But Hendricks runs square, jumps, grabs the catch, and his feet land inside the field of play upon impact. With momentum taking him over the boundary line, he pops the ball up and makes the completion 71/33.1 first-ball strike for Bosch! A nick to the keeper! Length ball on middle and off. A teasing angle away from the left-hander. The push away from his body with minimal footwork induces the edge 37/29.5 chopped on! Length ball outside off but angling in. Good place to pull from, but the batter is through the shot a shade early. Bottom edge onto the stumps. Top spell this evening from Bosch 101/57.2 sliced, high up, gobbled up by Rickelton! Short of good length outside off stump. Ferreira opts for the aggressive route by clearing the front leg and attempting to smack it through midwicket. Bat's face turns upwards, ball flies high up and the keeper runs towards fine leg for the catch 78/411.4 slower ball, full outside off. Ranjane is through the off-side loft too early. Miscued, cover tracks it over his shoulder and then turns to close out the catch 121/710.3 loses his hape and miscues a slog to point. Fullish around off. Mulder clears the front leg and tries to muscle it over the leg side. The turn away is his undoing 113/6Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL123/7 (12 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (James Vince, 2.4 ov), 2-37 (Dian Forrester, 3.1 ov), 3-71 (Faf du Plessis, 6.4 ov), 4-78 (Donovan Ferreira, 7.2 ov), 5-101 (Matthew de Villiers, 9.5 ov), 6-113 (Wiaan Mulder, 10.3 ov), 7-121 (Shubham Ranjane, 11.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 reverse-cup catch from Faf at cover sends Rassie back. This was a length ball angling away again and Rassie tried to slap it over cover but the bat's face turned in his hands 102/51.4 Akeal, you beauty! Length ball outside off. Sharp turn in with some extra bounce too. Rickelton backs away and tries to slap it over the off side but all he can do is get a lob up to mid off 10/15.1 the party is over! Burger goes 116kph, a bit wider than usual, and Pooran has sliced this fullish ball to deep extra cover. He had to try and fetch it, and that was his downfall 53/27.3 yorker again, but bit wider outside off. Guided past short third to the deep backward point fielder who runs around to stop the potential four. He then throws a flat one towards Ferreira and the keeper smartly whips the bails off while running towards the stumps himself. The hunt for two does Hendricks in 72/38.5 given! But Linde reviews! Fullish ball angling across Linde and he tried to hammer it down the V. Ball goes past the bat to the keeper and he appealed right away. Linde looks pretty sure that's not out. Unfortunately for Linde, there's a definite edge. 89/410.4 around the stumps. Bowls a length ball on middle and off. Too close to Smith's body for him to properly swing across the line. Slices a flat-batted pull straight to long on 116/6Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL128/6 (11.2 Overs, RR: 11.29)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Ryan Rickelton, 1.4 ov), 2-53 (Nicholas Pooran, 5.1 ov), 3-72 (Reeza Hendricks, 7.3 ov), 4-89 (George Linde, 8.5 ov), 5-102 (Rassie van der Dussen, 9.6 ov), 6-116 (Jason Smith, 10.4 ov)
