Lungi Ngidi to Nicholas Kirton, out Caught by Kagiso Rabada!! That hard length and Nicholas Kirton makes the mistake of pulling. It's not there as it's tight on off, Kirton finds mid-on with a simple catch. Rabada dives forward to take the looping ball. Two in the over. Nicholas Kirton c Kagiso Rabada b Lungi Ngidi 4(3) [4s-1]
