Over 3.1 Lungi Ngidi bowls a pitched up delivery to Solomon Mire, out Caught by Hendricks!! Mire fell into the trap. Perhaps was tempted to go for it and the ball takes a thick outside edge and a simple catch to Hendricks at slip.

Over 10.3 Willem Mulder bowls a good length delivery to CR Ervine, out Caught by Klaasen!!  Good length delivery, in the channel and a slight deviation off the deck as Ervine got his bat-pad closer to defend. It was crystal clear that the edge was missed and the Umpire raises the finger.

Over 13.6 Andile Phehlukwayo bowls a good length delivery to H Masakadza, out Caught by Hendricks!! Good length and holding its line outside off, Masakadza just went fishing without any intent and paid the price.

Over 15.5 Andile Phehlukwayo bowls a good length delivery to SC Williams, out Lbw!! Williams completely misjudges it playing down the wrong line and missing it, to get knocked on the back pad. The Umpire raises the finger.

Over 19.1 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to BRM Taylor, out Caught by Hendricks! Jumps from a back of a length, takes the shoulder-edge and some glove, and it lobs in front of Hendricks at 2nd slip - and he gets forward to take a good catch.

Over 21.4 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to Peter Moor, out Caught by Elgar! Perfect! A good length delivery outside off, scrambled seam, unpredictable movement off the wicket, and Moor experiences some parallax error, gets an outside edge that goes low into the hands of Elgar at first slip. 

Over 27.5 Imran Tahir bowls a quicker arm ball to Wellington Masakadza, out Lbw! Flipper from round the wicket, skids on and speeds up, Masakadza tries an ill-advised pull, gets struck on the pads. Hit him a little high on the pads, the Umpire raises the finger.

Over 29.3 Imran Tahir bowls a quicker arm ball to Brandon Mavuta,  out Lbw! Brandon Mavuta is trapped as he tries to get the bat down, and it hits him low on the pads. The Umpire raises the finger.

Over 32.5 Lungi Ngidi bowls a good length delivery to KM Jarvis, out Bowled! Jarvis hops to defend that, gets behind the line but ends up edging it into the wicket and subsequently onto the stumps.

Over 34.1 Lungi Ngidi bowls a good length delivery to E Chigumbura, out Caught by Rabada! Chigumbura tries to loft through the line and down the ground. Doesn't even clear the in-field, and Rabada runs into line with the pitch from mid-on to take a simple catch.
