12.6 nicked and gone! Kruger with the breakthrough! Off-pace and into the track outside off. Stirling has to wait an eternity for it and then swishes hard at it. The lack of pace, though, means that the ball does not fly off the outside edge. Floats to Rickelton's right, who dives full-length and gobbles up the chance. An excellent tone-setting knock comes to an end! 137/1

16.4 Ross Adair's party is over, and South Africa finally dismiss Ireland's protagonist for the night! Seems like another change-up, dug into the track on middle and leg. Ross hares down the track and swings at it with all his might. He is hitting to the longer boundary, though, and just does not have enough on it to clear Breetzke at deep mid wicket. A round of applause as he walks off - he has put Ireland in a strong position! 174/3

15.1 and Williams finally gets a wicket! Back of a length just outside off. Nips back in a smidgen and goes through Tector, who was looking to smash it down the ground. Topples the bails and Williams does not show any emotion. He knows he should have been among the wickets much earlier! 156/2

16.5 two in the over for South Africa! Slower ball on a length on leg stump. Campher advances, aiming to go downtown. Gets too close to the ball, though, and does not get the elevation he desires. The lack of pace also makes things tricky and Stubbs makes no mistake at long on! 175/4

17.3 does him all ends up! Superly-executed slower ball, pitching on a length on middle and leg. Rock has no clue about this change-up and plays far too early. The ball squirms past his bat and then smashes into middle stump. Ngidi is delighted; Ireland continue to lose their way! 176/5

18.1 a run-out to compound Ireland's woes! Low full toss on the pads. Mark squeezes it out towards deep mid wicket and has to scramble back for the second. Always seems in trouble doing so and is well short of his ground, despite putting in a sprawling dive. Good work on the fence by Breetzke and Rickelton was just as snappy behind the stumps! 180/6
