Tom Curran to Philander, SIX, shot. And it feels after ages. Curran dishes one in the slot at full pace and Philander can loft it straight down with utter ease

Lungi Ngidi to Riaz, FOUR, a massive slog, not in control, but it's into the wind. de Bruyn comes in from long-on, but realizes the breeze is taking it away from him, runs backwards, but nope, that ain't helping

Lungi Ngidi to Mohammad Nawaz, out Caught by Wiaan Mulder !! Pace off another full one. Nawaz tries his best to hoick this, at least this, but nope, the Blitz are clearly not going anywhere with their death batting. He miscues, dragging it to a tumbling cow corner. Mohammad Nawaz c Wiaan Mulder b Lungi Ngidi 7(9)

Wiaan Mulder to David Bedingham, out Bowled!! Ugly ungainly heave this. It's a simple straight ball, seam up, on middle. Bedingham goes to heave across the line and pump it over cow corner, but in his quest of going too hard loses shape and the ball comfortably goes under to find some other form of timber. David Bedingham b Wiaan Mulder 53(40) [4s-5 6s-1]

Lungi Ngidi to David Bedingham, 1 run, a calm punch through sweeper, and just as stylishly, he gets to his fifty

W
Lungi Ngidi to Livingstone, out Bowled!! Reaaaallly slow cutter this. Rolls his finger on the seam, bangs it in short. But Livingstone has no clue, he swing a flat bat across the line to smack it away, but he's a week early. The ball sneaks under easily, and uproots out middle. Livingstone b Lungi Ngidi 8(12)

van der Merwe to David Bedingham, SIX, oops. Too short. Bedingham has enough time to rock behind and smoke it over cow corner

van der Merwe to Janneman Malan, out Caught by de Villiers!! van der Merwe breaks the 65-run stand. Janneman Malan moves leg-side and gets down on a knee to tonk this in-angler over long-off. Doesn't get the required elevation and holes out at long-off. AB runs in and gathers it with both hands in front of his tummy. Janneman Malan c de Villiers b van der Merwe 36(28) [4s-1 6s-2]
7.3
Morne Morkel to Janneman Malan, 2 runs, the partnership between Janneman Malan and David Bedingham is now 50. Rib-tickler at 135.5kph, Malan nudges it into the mid-wicket pocket and the batters come back for the second. Good running

Lungi Ngidi to David Bedingham, FOUR, Bedingham comes down the track and heaves this length ball across the line. Didn't quite middle it and the deep mid-wicket fielder ran to his left and dived, but couldn't hold onto it. A very tough chance

Tom Curran to David Bedingham, FOUR, smacked through the line! A fullish ball at 132.9kph, Bedingham dances down the track and slightly moves leg-side before tonking it over the non-striker's head

Lutho Sipamla to Janneman Malan, SIX, 117.2kph, slower ball, full in length and Malan dances down the track. Picked the change of pace late and still went through with his uppish flick did Malan. Got enough wood on it to send it into the cow corner stands

Morne Morkel to de Kock, out Caught by Lungi Ngidi!! Edged and gone! Back of a length at 125.5kph, de Kock flashed his bat for a cut on seeing the line wide of off.

van der Merwe to de Kock, FOUR, there's nobody at all behind square, but RvdM still ends up feeding it full on the stumps. Quinton sweeps uppishly, just over a leaping square leg
