Philander 3-67(20 ov)

94.6
Philander to Moeen Ali, no run, wanted a quick single to mid-off, but this short of length delivery cramped him up, so he mistimed it to the left of cover

92.4
4
Philander to Moeen Ali, FOUR, 2000 Test runs for Moeen Ali. Well played to get there. It swung in late, but was drifting down, Moeen Ali played the deftest of glances to the fine leg fence. Rabada at deep backward square was too wide to have any chance
92.3
4
Philander to Moeen Ali, FOUR, fraction short outside off and Moeen Ali has picked that up to pull it fiercely wide of the man at deep mid-wicket. Knew there was a fielder there, but still managed to hit the gap

Philander to Moeen Ali, no run, good length around the fourth-stump line, Moeen Ali defends towards point
92.1
Philander to Moeen Ali, no run, nips back in slightly and traps Moeen Ali on the pad. But may have pitched outside leg and height was always an issue. Would've gone over. That's why there was no real appeal from Philander or the rest
90.6
Philander to Broad, no run, big shout for lbw. Not given. Philander lets out a roaring appeal. Wants a review. Has a chat with Elgar. Who isn't interested. And that doesn't please Philander. He isn't happy. HawkEye shows it is hitting - hoho - South Africa would've had Broad there. Had they reviewed it. This one swung back into Broad, who fell over on the flick and missed. Struck just above the kneeroll. Inexperience from Elgar and that has cost SA. Philander at the end of the over, raised his finger to signal that was out, to someone in the team. May well have been Elgar
90.5
4
Philander to Broad, FOUR, edged again and this goes wide of de Kock. No luck for Philander. de Kock dived to his left, but it went right in the gap. No chance for first slip either. Lovely delivery, got Broad to defend and he edged it. Races away to the third man fence

88.6
Philander to Moeen Ali, no run, edged and bounces short of Elgar at second slip. No bounce on this wicket already, the slip cordon is standing fairly up, but still it didn't have the pace to carry. Philander produced the edge by getting the ball to seam away and then forced Moeen Ali to defend with an open face. Elgar stops it on the bounce

85.6
Philander to Moeen Ali, no run, good length delivery, defended
85.6
Philander to Root, no ball, 1 run, loses his line, probably a result of flicking the bails off in his delivery motion. Root duly flicks it off the pads behind square for one, and it will be a no-ball too

85.3
4

85.2
Philander to Moeen Ali, 3 runs, more runs. Ali gently pushes a full ball to the left of mid-off who is standing pretty close and a bit too wide. Maharaj tries his best with a desperate dive but can only get a finger, and then has to get back up and chase it down
85.1

4

22.3
W
Philander to Bairstow, out Lbw!! What a bowler this man is. Gets his third. He may not have the express pace of the others, but there is no better exponent of seam and swing in world cricket at the moment, in the longest format of the game than Big Vern. Pitches this on a good length, nips back in and then raps Bairstow right in front. Pistol Paul Reiffel had the finger up in a flash. Once Bairstow didn't get bat, he was a dead duck. Had a nod at Root who must have told him to go and off he went. Didn't waste a review. Clipping shows HawkEye. But that's good enough. Hit on the back leg too. Bairstow has been in great form in the last year or two in Tests and to get him out early is a big bonus for SA. Bairstow lbw b Philander 10(25) [4s-2]
22.2
Philander to Bairstow, no run, de Kock liked that. Full and swinging away, lovely line too from Big Vern. Left alone

4

20.4
Philander to Root, no run, good length outside off, moves away, left alone
20.3

9.6
Philander to Ballance, no run, good length on off, defended well off the back foot. Head right under the ball and defending under his eyes
9.6
Philander to Ballance, no ball, pulls his length back, Ballance lets it go as the line was outside off. Philander oversteps again
9.5
4
Philander to Ballance, FOUR, first bad ball he has bowled today. Full and outside off, driven off the front foot and raced away through cover. Leant forward on the stroke and timed it away to the fence. That should give Ballance plenty of confidence
9.4
Philander to Ballance, no run, my goodness! How do you play that? Play that if you can. Unbelievable delivery, pitches around middle and if not for the wicked seam movement after pitching, would have had the edge. Opened Ballance inside out and he had no chance of defending that. No chance in hell. Rips away past the edge and to de Kock. "That's a snorter" says Athers on air
9.3
Philander to Ballance, 2 runs, full on off, driven wide of Keshav at mid-off. He does well, runs back and then slides to prevent the third
9.2
Philander to Ballance, no run, good length outside off, moving away, left alone
9.1
Philander to Ballance, no run, finds the outside edge but doesn't carry to third slip. On a good length and on off, made Ballance play and it seamed away to take the edge. Soft bottom hand, ensured that it didn't carry
7.6
Philander to Ballance, no run, tight length delivery on the stumps, nicely defended
7.5
Philander to Ballance, no run, nearly rapped on the pad. Again that in-between-length on the stumps, Ballance is squared up, but the ball hits the outer half of the bat and rolls to cover. That didn't swing or seam. Had it done so, would have had the LBW in business
7.4
Philander to Ballance, no run, the back leg went across, may have wanted to cut that, but then saw that the length wasn't there, so left it alone
7.3
Philander to Ballance, no run, fuller than a good length, on off, Ballance isn't fully forward to block. Runs off a thick outer half of the bat, finds gully
7.2
Philander to Ballance, no run, good length on off, Ballance hangs back to block
7.1
Philander to Ballance, no run, this came back in late. Ballance had decided to leave that, but the seam movement was appreciable. So the off stump is in danger, but the extra bounce takes it over the stumps. Close call that
5.6
Philander to Ballance, no run, good length again, on off, Ballance defends with bat and pad close together, runs away to gully
5.5
Philander to Ballance, 2 runs, fullish on the pads, flicked to deep backward square leg, for a couple
5.4
Philander to Ballance, no run, good length, in the corridor of uncertainty, seaming away, left alone
5.3
Philander to Root, 1 run, Root is off the mark. With an inside edge that dribbles behind square. Straight length delivery on the stumps, may have done something off the seam, takes the edge and runs away
5.2
W
Philander to Jennings, out Lbw!! Will Jennings review? Given out by S Ravi for LBW. He is walking. After a chat with Ballance. Gone! Need to see the HawkEye to see where that pitched. That will be the only doubt regarding the decision. Struck Jennings pretty low on the pad and would've gone onto hit the stumps. Good delivery again, attacking the stumps and missing the forward block to rap the pad. This Philander is a mean, mean operator with the new ball. When the conditions are helpful, he is one of the world's best and he is showing it today. Hoho! Oh Jennings. That has pitched an inch outside leg. If he had reviewed that, would've been still batting. Inexperience from both Jennings and Ballance. As Bumble points out, should use their reviews well. And it's missing leg as well. Jennings lbw b Philander 8(12) [4s-2]
5.1
Philander to Jennings, no run, nip for Philander, but pitches around leg, strikes Jennings above the pad. No danger of that being out LBW
3.6
Philander to Jennings, no run, stays back on the crease, allows the ball to hit the bat. Finds Duminy at gully
3.5
Philander to Ballance, 3 runs, Ballance is off the mark with a back foot defence. Partly edgy but went to ground and went wide of Temba at backward point. He is very quick across the turf, and hauls it back in. But they take three in the meantime
3.4
Philander to Ballance, no run, makes Ballance play. And beats him. With a fuller length delivery that is pushed across him, leaden-feet from Ballance and the ball beats the bat. Lovely bowling
3.3
Philander to Ballance, no run, lifts off a good length, and moves away again, but Ballance has pulled his bat inside the line to leave
3.2
Philander to Ballance, no run, look at the nip on that. Superb to see. Pitches outside off and moves away, Ballance shoulders arms
3.1
W
Philander to Cook, out Caught by de Kock!! Edged and gone. Philander strikes and the redoubtable Cook is gone. Totally uncharacteristic from him. He generally leaves these outside off deliveries alone, early on. This time though he went for a big back foot punch to a length delivery angling across and only edged it behind. Easy take for de Kock and the first blow has been nailed. Cook c de Kock b Philander 3(13)
1.6
Philander to Cook, no run, pitched up outside off, Cook gets forward and drives to the short straight mid-off fielder. Hit that well, but didn't get the gap
1.6
Philander to Cook, no ball, second no-ball from Philander this over. On the pads, flicked to the square leg fielder. A slight fumble but they don't risk the quick single
1.5
Philander to Cook, 2 runs, swing for Philander, but Philander has sprayed it on the pads, easy for Cook as he flicks it to deep backward square leg, for a couple of runs
1.4
Philander to Cook, no run, goes fuller and outside off, left alone
1.4
Philander to Cook, no ball, this kept low. But Philander has overstepped. Stayed low and Cook crouched to block that. Did well to keep it out
1.3
Philander to Cook, no run, streaky. But Cook gets away. Tried to cover-drive that, as it was full outside off, the feet didn't move that much and the inside edge was found. Rolled back to the left of Philander who fielded on his followthrough
1.2
Philander to Cook, no run, short of length around off, Cook stands tall and blocks under his eyes
1.1
Philander to Cook, no run, good length around off, holds its line from there as well, Cook lets it go. Carried well to QDK
