Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Louren Steenkamp!! Gone! Shikongo has the last say. Samson started well but fails to capitalise. It is nothing but a cameo from him. But credit to Shikongo - he kept his nerve and slipped in the slower ball. Rolled his fingers across the ball and took pace off, Samson is deceived and through the flick early, chips it tamely to deep mid-wicket and Steenkamp stays low to take the catch.

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, FOUR, 6, 6, 4! Shikongo is being taken apart. He overcorrects his line and length - full and outside off, right in the arc, Samson goes back in the crease and lofts it over extra cover. That pinged off the middle and rocketed to the fence..

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, SIX, he's dealing in sixes. Three in a row. Once again wrong line from Shikongo. 122.6ks short of length around leg, that's a hit-me delivery and Samson does not miss out, he helps it along and sends it a mile into the stands

Ben Shikongo to Sanju Samson, SIX, back to back sixes for Samson. Too straight from Shikongo - back of a length on middle and leg, it was the angle which allowed Samson to play that shot - whips the pull backward of square and sends it sailing into the crowd

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, SIX, fabulous shot! Wrong length from Trumpelmann and he's made to pay. Fullish delivery, angled across and ends up right in the slot, Samson extends his arms and lofts through the line. Straight down the ground and the ball crashes into the sightscreen. That should calm the nerves

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, no run, leg-lined delivery, fullish and Samson ekes out an inside edge onto the pad, the ball rolls back to Trumpelmann. That was a scoring opportunity which he missed out..

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sanju Samson, no run, uhhh! Good length ball, angled across and slants away after pitching, not quite there for the drive but Samson looks to play it on the up and almost nicks it behind
