- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 driven firmly to extra cover, where Rossouw makes a good stop. Levi at non-striker's end sets off for the single, but is sent back. Stranded mid-pitch, he can only watch as Rossouw's throw strikes the bowler's stumps. 5/18.4 stepped too far across stumps to work ball away, and left leg stump exposed 41/212.5 doesn't get hold of a slower ball fully with his lofted drive, and is held by Rossouw running in from long on 72/319 tries to run another one down to third man, but this one is too close to the body and he is tucked up 140/4Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL158/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Richard Levi, 2.1 ov), 2-41 (Hashim Amla, 8.4 ov), 3-72 (Dane Vilas, 12.5 ov), 4-140 (Omphile Ramela, 18.6 ov)
