    0.3 Cut hard bur straight to Miller at backward point. Oh, dear, Jasiwal departs after just three balls. Was a short of a length ball outside off. Jasiwal stands tall but still couldn't get on top of the bounce. Cuts it aerially and Miller takes a smart catch to his left 0/1
    1.6 Celebrappeal from Williams and the umpire's finger is also up in a jiffy. Gill though has opted to review. That looked adjacent on first view. Only thing that could probably save Gill her is if he got a bat on that. Did he. Nope? And Gill is a goner for a duck. Length ball tailing into Gill. He plays all around it, and is struck bang in front. Williams didn't even bother to look back. 6/2
    5.5 The tallest man on the field takes the catch, and Tilak goes after a sprightly knock. Back of a length ball outside off, he carves it and for the longest part seemed to have connected well. But Jansen is stationed perfectly at deep third - a bit inside the fence. He takes a couple of steps back and takes the catch reverse-cupped 55/3
    13.5 Straight down Jansen's throat at long-off and Shamsi celebrates. Wrong'un on off stump. Surya looks to give himself room, and was wanting to go a bit squarer. Instead gets it off the inside-half of the blade and straight to long-off who ain't dropping those. Was probably done in by the googly. 125/4

    15.2 Holes out to deep midwicket. Jitesh takes a chance but doesn't come off this time around. Dances down the track but Markram keeps his length back. Jitesh goes through with the shot and doesn't connect cleanly. Stubbs makes no mistake running across from deep midwicket 142/5
    19.2 Yorker length on middle and leg. Jadeja looks to sweep, misses and the umpire raises his finger right away. No bat and this looks adjacent. Yep, impact is in line, and the ball would have smashed into middle and leg stump 180/6
    19.3 And he falls first ball. Fuller-length ball outside off, he carves it straight to short third man who takes a smart catch diving low to his left 180/7

    8.6 chipped to the man at cover! Only last ball he pushed one to the man there, failing to beat him, and this time he gifts him Surya a catch to his left. Kuldeep bowled much fuller than the previous ball, with the ball line almost being slightly wider than that one. Hendricks looked to loft, but ended up playing away from his body, and straight to the fielder 108/3
    2.5 South Africa give this away! Confusion between the batters, and Breetzke is run-out. There was an immediate call of no from Hendricks, but Breetzke was busy attempting the second. Jadeja bowled on a length on the stumps, as Hendricks flicked towards deep midwicket. They ran the single rather comfortably, before Hendricks stayed rooted even as Breetzke took. But it was too late, as he was nearly at the bowler's end by the time the throw arrived to Jadeja, who threw it back to Jitesh 42/1
    7.5 taken at deep square leg! Siraj grabbed that reverse cupped above his head, standing right on the edge of the boundary. Markram was again waiting deep in the crease, but Mukesh changed his line and length entirely this time. He bowled short and around seventh stump, getting the ball to climb high off the pitch. Markram had to fetch it from wide outside off, and play it almost above his head, with the ball taking the top half the bat instead 96/2
    9.2 The third wicket in as many overs! Siraj bowled with a cross seam, going on the shorter side of a length around sixth stump. Klaasen looked for the pull - certainly his most productive shot - but failed to clear Jaiswal, who ran back and ended at wide long-on 108/4
    12.5 taken at deep backward square leg! This is almost like a cat-and-mouse game. Each time South Africa get closer, they lose a wicket, although they are still in the driver's seat here. Mukesh bowled a full toss, angling it across, as it ended outside off. Miller swung again, losing his bottom hand, and failed to clear even the shorter side of the ground 139/5
