W
Maharaj to Williams, out Stumped!! Top-class from Maharaj! Got rid of Ervine earlier, deceiving him in the air, and now he's done the same with Williams. Tossed up just outside off, drifts away from Williams and he ends up playing inside the line of it. He also had to stretch quite far on the front foot trying to meet the pitch, and in the process his back foot leaves the crease, giving the keeper a window of opportunity. Verreynne grabs it with both hands. Williams st Verreynne b Maharaj 137(164) [4s-16]

Maharaj to Williams, no run, close call! Williams gets forward to drive and is beaten by the dip on this full delivery outside off, drags his back foot out, extra bounce and Verreynne can't glove it properly, that gave the time for Williams to drag his back foot in, by the time Verreynne flicked the bails off, Williams was back. One angle shows the back foot to be on the line, but that is not conclusive enough for the third ump. The other angle though clearly showed that Williams was back in. Also South Africa felt there was an outside-edge but the standing umpire turned that down. The third ump with no conclusive evidence gives it in favor of Williams
