    7.5 Gets this man! Brave bowling this from Maharaj. Slows this up, gives it some flight on off. Hope gives himself room and looks to slap that over long-off. He doesn't get under it and can only flat-bat that to Bosch at long-off 91/2
    0.6 Ngidi is on the board and Charles falls for a three-ball duck. Fuller in length with a hint of movement away from Charles. No foot movement as he stays rooted to the crease and looks to chip this over covers. The bat turns in his hand and he pops a simple catch to short cover 5/1

    8.6 And the fun ends. On-pace length ball outside off, Powell looks to go over mid-off, which is up. But he can only carve this off the outside half of the bat with the ball spooning straight up. Brevis settles under it at deep extra cover and takes it comfortably 104/3

    1.5 Spooned straight up and oh, my word there could have been a nasty collision. Hosein hangs on, but both he and Hetmyer went for the catch and almost ended up bumping into each other. Shortish in length but that just sticks into the surface on middle. Markram is early into his pull and only manages a top-edge. Hetmyer runs in from extra cover, Hosein from his follow-through. No one calls and it almost ends up in disaster 23/1
    3.5 The big fish departs. Tossed up on the fuller side outside off, de Kock looks to clear long-off but fails to get under it. That means he doesn't get the elevation or the power and Powell does the rest at long-off 34/2
    5.6 A superb relay catch from Powell and Holder, and Motie is turning the game West Indies' way Quicker through the air outside off, he looks to go across the line, but ends up getting a bit of a top-edge, with one hand off the bat. The ball still carries close to the boundary edge as Powell runs across to his left. He completes the catch and on realising hi is too close to the edge and losing the momentum, parries the ball to Holder who has the awareness to run to his right and is there to complete the relay catch. Motie grabs his third and it is a major uphill task for SA hereon 63/4
    5.4 Shanked to long-on and Rickelton falls after smashing two sixes. Pushed quicker on off stump, he hops back and flat-bats that but straight to long-on. Motie has the last laugh and Rickelton walks back, disgusted with himself 62/3
    8.2 Oh, Chase gets there. That is a timely wicket for WI. Slower length ball outside off, he was looking to go over covers and slices it to the right of deep point. Chase sprints to his right, dives and ends up taking it inches off the turf 100/5
    9.4 GOT 'EM! He has absolutely nailed that yorker and there is nothing Smith can do about it. Fast, inswinging yorker on the base of middle stump. Smith is right back and looks to work that away. Is way too late to get his bat down in time and sees this stumps in a mess. Pressure... what pressure says Joseph 116/6
