Kyle Abbott to Pite van Biljon, out Caught&Bowled!! Good bowling. A well-directed bouncer, zipped through and the line-and-length was accurate. Hurried onto the batsman and Pite van Biljon was cramped for room too. He persisted with his attempted pull shot and only managed a top edge. The bowler settles under it and gathers it with ease. Pite van Biljon c and b Kyle Abbott 5(4) [4s-1]

Siboto to Klaasen, out Caught by Wihan Lubbe! A short of length ball angling in, Klaasen swats the pull to cow corner where the fielder comes around to his right to collect a fine running catch. Made it look far easier than it was, did Lubbe. Klaasen, who was looking to go for everything, departs for a fine cameo. Klaasen c Wihan Lubbe b Siboto 23(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

Phehlukwayo to de Villiers, out Caught by Dane Vilas!! Edged and gone! de Villiers has to depart and he isn't happy. Shortish ball way outside off, de Villiers hopped to cut it away, but was undone by the extra bounce. Let's see what the replays say. Anyway, Durban will be relieved to see the back of AB. Well, there was a definite noise - clear outside edge. de Villiers c Dane Vilas b Phehlukwayo 2(6)

Siboto to Elgar, out de Bruyn Run Out!! The partnership has been broken ... courtesy a direct hit! Suicidal running and de Bruyn has to depart. The single was definitely not on. Elgar tapped this length ball straight to backward point and the batters set off for the run. After collecting the ball, Phehlukwayo took a couple of seconds to aim and hit the bulls-eye. Theunis de Bruyn had given up and was not even in the frame. de Bruyn run out (Phehlukwayo) 40(25) [4s-6]
