Dean Elgar 2(21)

9.1
W
Moeen Ali to Elgar, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a superb return catch. It was struck so powerfully by Elgar but Ali latches onto it in his follow-through. The thing which the bowler had in his favour was that it came straight to him at a comfortable height. But geez, that was smoked by Elgar. Excellent reflexes to take it in front of his face. Two very unconventional dismissals in a stiff run-chase. Not going South Africa's way. Elgar c and b Moeen Ali 2(21)
8.6
Anderson to Amla, no run, short of length, gets on top of the bounce and blocks
7.5
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, turns and beats the outside edge. Well flighted ball on off, draws Elgar into a tentative defence where the length is such that he isn't allowed to smother the ball. Superb delivery
7.4
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, defended with the turn towards cover
7.3
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, chooses to play this off the back foot and keeps it out comfortably
7.2
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, touch too full, smothered back
7.1
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, drifting in on off, Elgar defends into the off-side
5.5
Broad to Heino Kuhn, 1 run, good length on the pads, clipped away to deep backward square
4.5
Anderson to Elgar, no run, fullish, Elgar pushes on the move to cover
4.4
Anderson to Elgar, no run, spits and straightens at Elgar from a back of length. He didn't need to play at it, but once he did, he had very little chance of making contact. A jaffa from Anderson
4.3
Anderson to Heino Kuhn, leg byes, 1 run, there's the big in-swinger, but he's got the line wrong. Deflects off Kuhn's pad into the on-side
4.1
Anderson to Heino Kuhn, 1 run, good length on middle, Kuhn nudges in front of short mid-wicket and takes off. Makes it in comfortably. I think he did the exact same thing in the first innings and would have been gone that time had there been a direct-hit. Much better judgement with this one
3.5
Broad to Elgar, no run, back of a length on off, works it to mid-wicket
3.4
Broad to Elgar, no run, full ball outside off, Elgar resists his temptation to drive, lets it go
3.3
Broad to Elgar, no run, well, well, Elgar has been given leg-before. It looked pretty high in real time, but he is playing back. Elgar takes the review. It's a good one too as Hawkeye rules that it's going over the stumps. Back of a length, cramps Elgar from round the wicket and hits him over the pad around the thigh. Always looked high. Not a great decision from umpire Ravi, and it's been overturned
3.2
Broad to Elgar, no run, back of a length, blocked
3.1
Broad to Elgar, no run, back of a length, angled in towards off from round the wicket, Elgar blocks from the crease
2.6
Anderson to Heino Kuhn, no run, thick leading edge rolls away to backward point. Kuhn is lucky here. He jabbed at the full ball with the intention of playing to the leg-side, but it held up on him. Did well to check the shot
2.1
Anderson to Elgar, no run, back of a length, swinging back in on leg, Elgar nudges it beside the pitch after taking his bottom hand off
1.6
Broad to Heino Kuhn, no run, good length delivery wide of off, left alone
0.5
Anderson to Heino Kuhn, 3 runs, fuller from Anderson, Kuhn gets a big stride out to the ball and drives with the swing through cover. Lovely shot. Long earnest chase from Stokes to flick the ball back in
