Over 3.1 TL Chatara bowls a good length delivery to Dean Elgar, out Caught by Moor!! Elgar went searching with a closed bat face, perhaps trying to deposit it over mid-wicket, but he gets a thick leading edge which carries all the way down to the third man.

Over 6.3 Wellington Masakadza bowls a quicker arm ball to RR Hendricks, out Bowled!! Hendricks was on the press-forward move and he, surely, wasn't expecting the ball to spin as much. It kisses the surface and rips past his outside edge to clatter the woodwork.

Over 9.6 TL Chatara bowls a good length delivery to Aiden Markram, out Caught by Chigumbura!! A juicy fullish delivery outside off, asking Markram to fetch and slap, but with the strange bounce on offer, he mistimed it flat to mid-off who takes a well-judged catch in front of his face.

Over 14.3 Brandon Mavuta bowls a tossed up delivery to Christiaan Jonker, out Caught by Sean Williams!!  A lovely toss up outside off and Jonker agricultural slog flies to the right of Williams who nestles it safely after displaying sharp reflexes.

Over 21.4 Wellington Masakadza bowls a tossed up delivery to Heinrich Klaasen, out Caught by Craig Ervine!! Klaasen as soon as spotting it, camped back and mistimed the pull. Hitting it straight down the throat of Ervine at deep mid-wicket.
