    30.4 100 and out! Another one, this not quite as short, 145kph. QDK goes on the pull once more but this time it's only a top edge, and it loops to mid-on who judges and takes it well 214/2
    1.4 Big lbw appeal. Given! Bavuma reviews. Where was that pitching? Length ball, 131ks, came back in to beat Bavuma's back-foot flick. Hit on the front pad over the knee-roll. That is pitching just in line, straightens enough to hit top of middle. 10/1
    37.1 Well taken at long-on! VDD comes down the track and looks to heave this over long-on, only manages to get height though, A LOT of height in fact. Sadeera waits and waits for this and completes a good take 264/3
    47.1 Full toss is driven in the air, long-off takes it. Markram's 54-ball exhibition is over. Low-ish full toss was around off, Markram stood leg side and tried to launch it straight. Lost shape, bat face opened and Rajitha took an easy catch. Markram gets a hug from Klaasen while walking back 383/5
    43.1 Slower one is skied high, taken at long-off! Offcutter is full and wide, Klaasen had gone across, standing in the crease, was in reach of the ball too. Swung hard and through the line but easy catch 342/4

    1.1 Through him first up! What a way to start your spell! This pitched on a good length on off, and then just tailed back in as it cut Nissanka in half before clattering into the top of middle 1/1
    7.5 Jansen sends the bails on a flight. Length ball came back in and was too fast for Perera, who tried to block it straight. His upper body fell over, the ball snuck through and Jansen has two. Sid Monga, at the ground, says the bail reached the third man boundary 67/2
    12.4 And Rabada gets the big one! Rabada is ecstatic and so he should be. This was back of a length just outside off, 140kph, and it bounced a touch more than Mendis expected. He looks for the cut but edges it near the shoulder of the bat for Klaasen to gleefully accept 109/3
    13.2 Coetzee strikes with just his second ball! Sadeera was looking to work this onside but it's the cross seamer on a back of a length. It sits up a bit in the surface and Sadeera is early on the stroke, and gets a leading edge. It pops up barely past the edge of the pitch towards mid-on, but Jansen makes up the ground in a flash to grab this 111/4
    31.6 The partnership is broken! Fantastic take by the Reeza Hendricks the sub. This was pace-off and full outside off. Asalanka gives it everything and slices it high over point. Hendricks comes haring in and grabs this on the run 232/6
    20.1 Slices a cut to Phehlukhwayo at backward point. The fielder moved to the right, slid his knee across and took it low. Ball was on a length outside off, bounced more than DDS expected, spun a bit and the around-the-wicket angle came in play too 150/5
    39.4 Keeps low to knock him over. Actually, maybe not. Fullish ball came into the pad, Shanaka tried to block it straight but got beaten on the inside edge. The 89ks ball deflected off the front pad to the stumps. Absolutely no foot movement from Shanaka though. 291/8
    32.2 And is this the game?! Wellalage nicks through to the keeper off this length ball, and Sri Lanka's slim chances are now surely all but extinguished 233/7
    43.4 Pulled in the air... finds Markram at deep-mid! Slower one, 119ks, following the batter as he made room. He hit it hard but the follow-through ended around just over head and didn't go close to the shoulder. Good cameo from Rajitha 322/9
    44.5 Bails fly. Done and dusted. Pathirana made room and tried to whack it over wide long-on. Cross seamer landed around fourth and hit the outer-half of off stump 326/10
