Kagiso Rabada 2-29(4 ov)

17.6
Rabada to Nathan Ellis, no run, short slower delivery, Ellis mistimes it over the bowler's head
17.6
Rabada to Nathan Ellis, no ball, oh Rabada has overstepped. It was a nice catch in the deep but Ellis escapes. Slower ball on the fuller side from Rabada, Ellis had the licence to go for the maximu, he tried and mishit this. Pretorius took a fine catch at deep backward square leg but it won't matter
17.5
Rabada to Tim David, 1 run, slower ball into the pitch. David lofts the slap high, clears extra-cover and long-off had no chance getting around for the catch
17.4
4
Rabada to Tim David, FOUR, Rabada changes his ploy and goes short into the wicket, David stood tall to pull this over deep square leg. Fielder in the deep unable to cut that off
17.3
Rabada to Tim David, no run, excellent yorker disturbing David's base. He tried to get the left foot out of the way to avoid a fracture, gets some bat on it maybe. Just hit the lower part of the pad as well
17.2
Rabada to Tim David, no run, oh keeps low and catches the toe-end of the bat as David looks to slog across the line, ball rolls to square leg
17.1
Rabada to Tim David, no run, low full toss, mistimed to long-on, doesn't take the run
13.6
Rabada to Dwarshuis, 1 run, short of length delivery, Dwarshuis mistimes the pull to long-on
13.5
4
Rabada to Dwarshuis, FOUR, this time he places it to the right of backward point and third man can't cut it off. Short of a length delivery angling away, Dwarshuis cuts but toe-ends it along the ground. Ball still had enough legs
13.5
Rabada to Dwarshuis, wide, tries the slower ball bumper but it's too high
13.4
Rabada to Dwarshuis, no run, short of length delivery angling away, Dwarshuis cuts and picks out backward point. Timed that pretty well, shame he didn't place it right
13.3
Rabada to Tim David, 1 run, standing up and asking for punishment, David thumps the pull but picks out deep mid-wicket
13.2
Rabada to Tim David, 2 runs, the partnership between Tim David and Dwarshuis is now, slapped hard off the back foot as Rabada takes pace off. Two, two is the call straightaway and deep point had work to do to the right
13.1
Rabada to Dwarshuis, 1 run, short of length delivery just outside off stump, Dwarshuis tries to run it to third man, eventually under-edges to short third man
3.6
4
Rabada to Green, FOUR, Green is dealing in boundaries. All his runs have come in fours and sixes. Full and angling into the pads, Green leans forward and clips it through mid-wicket, split the two fielders inside the ring with perfection
3.6
Rabada to Green, wide, attempted yorker gone wrong, sprays it down leg and Green misses the glance, wide signalled
3.5
Rabada to Tim David, 1 run, I0$ slower ball outside off, David goes hard on the flat-batted hit and chops it to mid-on
3.4
Rabada to Tim David, no run, shortens the length and does not offer room, David stays leg-side and blocks it to the off-side
3.3
6
Rabada to Tim David, SIX, Australia are not going to back down. They are 3 down, just lost their skipper a couple of balls ago and David shimmies down the pitch to play the big shot, lofts it straight down the ground and just manages to get it beyond the rope
3.2
Rabada to Tim David, no run, good length ball on off, David gets behind the line and defends to the off-side
3.1
W
Rabada to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! What a catch! Maphaka with his second and this was pretty amazing. Good length ball on leg, Marsh was right to go for the pick-up shot but he gets more height than distance on this heave, the ball went high and almost kissed the sky before coming down, Maphaka runs to his left from deep square and hangs on with both hands. He kept his eyes on the ball all along and that made the catch look easy. Mitchell Marsh c Kwena Maphaka b Rabada 13(7) [4s-1 6s-1]
1.6
W
Rabada to Head, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! The drop does not cost anything. Rabada has his early wicket. The dangerous Head is back cheaply. Very full delivery outside off, close to yorker length and Head bends down to squeeze it out, he opens the bat face and slices it to short third, Maphaka kneels down and gobbles it up on the second attempt, the ball hit him on the wrist and he used his body to latch on. South Africa were confident and replays proved they were right to celebrate. Head c Kwena Maphaka b Rabada 2(7)
1.5
Rabada to Head, no run, dropped! Linde has put it down at point. How costly is that going to be? Short and outside off, Head goes hard and smashes the cut straight to point, Linde bends down and spills a straightforward chance. Yes, it was struck powerfully but you expect to take those at this level
1.4
Rabada to Head, no run, I0$ back of a length close to off, Head has no room and he mistimes the punch to cover-point
1.3
Rabada to Head, no run, once more angles it outside off, Head throws his bat and does not connect. The ball flies to Rickelton and makes it difficult for him to glove the ball
1.2
Rabada to Head, no run, back of a length angled outside off, Head swings through the line and is beaten on the outside edge. Nice carry to Rickelton
1.1
Rabada to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, excellent work by Ngidi. Saves three runs. Rabada strays down leg, Marsh helps it along the way towards fine leg and the ball was bouncing over the rope, but Ngidi gets across and flicks the ball in play, keeps it to a single
