Lungi Ngidi to Azmatullah Omarzai, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! What a catch under pressure. The slower-ball off-cutter and on leg-stump, Azmatullah Omarzai gets forward to loft, Stubbs right at the edge of the boundary at long-on, shows great awareness, takes it, knows he is going over, so lobs it back and comes back in to take it. Judged it so well. Azmatullah stands there in disbelief before trudging off. A bit more elevation and it was six. South Africa are relieved. Azmatullah Omarzai c Tristan Stubbs b Lungi Ngidi 22(17) [4s-3]

Keshav Maharaj to Azmatullah Omarzai, out Darwish Rasooli Run Out!! Rasooli run out! Oh this is horrible from Afghanistan's point of view! First Gurbaz, now Rasooli and the game has changed dramatically. Flat length ball at the stumps, Omarzai makes room to cut, finds backward point and the single isn't on. Rasooli still comes charging down for a single and is more than halfway when he has to turn back. Had no hope from there. Throw came to de Kock who passed it to the bowler's end. Easy run out. Darwish Rasooli run out (George Linde/Quinton de Kock/Keshav Maharaj) 15(18)

Keshav Maharaj to Azmatullah Omarzai, no run, punched off the back foot to short cover
