    20.1 Skier, careful Icarus stuff. Marsh settles underneath and takes it well. Hazlewood strikes first ball on return. Length just outside off, QDK tried to hoik it across the line and got a leading edge. He knew right away he'd mishit it. After an expensive last over, it looked like QDK wanted to carry on but paid the price. 95/2
    12.5 bowled him! A cracker! 133kph, angled into middle and off, perfect length, shapes away a touch to beat the outside edge and crash into the top of off! Off stump was flattened. What a peach from Ellis 64/1
    34.4 caught behind! A feathered under-edge! A length ball, outside off, he sets his base to smash this over midwicket but gets a thin bottom edge through to Carey. Easy catch. 194/4
    25.1 Markram doesn't check his drive again, this time it goes low in the air, to Stoinis, who takes it at cover. Neser has his first. Length ball outside off, Markram pushed at it again, spooned it to the left of the fielder. 120/3

    49.6 holes out on the rope at wide fine leg! A good catch by Ellis looking into the sun. Short ball, he pulls in the air towards the rope but this one doesn't go. Ellis nearly slipped but he held on 416/5

    2.4 Warner gets the room he was looking for but slaps it straight to cover point. That was very wide on a length, Warner got on one and slashed, the shot was on but so was the fielder. Warner smiles and puts his head down as Miller takes it to his right. Ngidi and Markram celebrate. 16/1

    8.1 Head makes room to slash, gets followed and is severely cramped for room. Whoa, he's holding the wrist and walking back. Retired hurt! The ball earlier had hit on the bottom (left) hand while going for the pull. This time, he swung and walked right off. The ball was on a back of length. 53/2
    4.2 Hit on the pad and that looks dead. Given out, Marsh reviews. Scramble-seam length ball on a length. Beat the flick and hit Marsh's front foot, just under the length. What does Hawk-Eye say? That impact is in line and would go on to clip leg stump. Umpire's call is good enough for Ngidi to get his second. 22/2
    11.4 One hand comes off but Marnus does not review after gloving it to the keeper. Back of lengther just down leg, Marnus shaped to pull before shouldering arms. But the ball was too quick, brushed the bottom hand just before it came off. Think the conversation he had with his partner was around whether it came off before or while the ball hit him. He looked despondent as he spoke and Ultra-Edge confirms why, it did hit the top of the glove. Even though it doesn't look as conclusive from side-on. 87/3
    34.5 De Kock takes a flier behind and Carey falls for 99! Short ball around the flank, Carey went for the pull. The ball hit his glove right as the wrist rolled. It ballooned up, was going behind the vacant-first-slip area. QDK went back and launched himself, took a brilliant catch, off his left hand with a full extension, to deny Carey the century and close out the game. 252/9
    15.3 Another bouncer has been gloved to the keeper!. Into the pitch, angling in, Stoinis was done by the extra bounce. Also, his hands didn't extend, they were very close to the shoulders as he tried to help it along. It ballooned off the glove, QDK ran in front, dove and took it. 113/4
    23.4 skied straight up and Markram takes the catch at cover! Full outside off, David tries to launch straight but he slices it straight up off the outside half of the bat, Markram sprints from mid off to cover and takes an excellent catch sliding across the turf 185/5

    26.3 bowled him! Poor choice of shot. Good length on middle, Neser tries to give room to cut but it's not short enough, it skids on and he gets an outside edge on it as he falls away before it crashes into middle and off. 200/6
    31.2 what a catch from Rabada! Brilliant catch and brilliant bowling. A clever slower ball from Ngidi deceives Ellis, he chips it in the air just over Rabada in the ring, he runs back with the flight, dives at full stretch with the right hand outstretched and the ball sticks in the middle of the palm! 233/7
    34.2 Huge swing from Zampa. Appeal for caught behind. Not given, SA review. Length ball outside off. Zampa had made room and slashed as hard as he could. Ultra-Edge shows a small spike with the ball just over the edge of the bat. Decision overturned. Australia effectively nine down with Carey on 97* 249/8
