Kwena Maphaka to Zampa, out Caught by Brevis!! Oh that's a stylish flick, shame he hit it to hand. Brevis makes up for the dropped catch earlier too. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Zampa flicks, timed to too well. Brevis ran in and to the right from deep square leg to complete an easy catch. Four wickets for Kwena Maphaka. Can he get a fifer with one ball to go? Zampa c Brevis b Kwena Maphaka 1(2)

Kwena Maphaka to Tim David, out Caught by Stubbs!! Will they catch it this time? Yes, Stubbs, who put David down earlier, takes a good catch but not before David cost them 27 extra runs. Slot ball from Kwena Maphaka, David swung really hard, another mishit as the bat turned in his hands. Stubbs ran forward and to the right from long-on, judged it perfectly into the hands despite falling to the ground. David gets a great ovation as he walks off and he raises the bat to the crowd. Tim David c Stubbs b Kwena Maphaka 83(52) [4s-4 6s-8]
18.1

W
Kwena Maphaka to Dwarshuis, out Caught by Markram!! In the air and straight to mid-off. Length delivery on the stumps, Dwarshuis backs away and goes for a muscular smack over the infield, but hits it flat and picks out Markram, who moves a step to the left to take a fine catch. Dwarshuis throws his head back in disappointment and walks off. He was doing a fine holding job at one end with David going for the runs at the other end. Dwarshuis c Markram b Kwena Maphaka 17(19) [4s-2]

6.4
W
Kwena Maphaka to Mitchell Owen, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Not sure if this is aggressive or mindless batting. They have got off to a start but lost 4 wickets as well, there's no need to play the big shot for a few overs but Owen thinks otherwise. He charges down and gives himself room, Maphaka keeps it simple - good ball angled across, Owen gets a tiny outside edge and the ball hits the top of off-stump. Australia are 5 down and we are just in the 7th over.. Mitchell Owen b Kwena Maphaka 2(4)
