35.3
4
Moeen Ali to Philander, byes, FOUR, that's unplayable! It's beaten everyone. The ball explodes from a length around off and rips away down the leg-side. Beats the chasing fielders for four byes
35.2
Moeen Ali to Philander, no run, sharp turn from the rough, sharp bounce too, Philander does well to hoist his bat as he shoulders arms

33.5
W
Moeen Ali to Rabada, out Caught by Bairstow!! That's ten in the match for Moeen Ali. Runs, wickets, catches, what a game he's having! This wasn't his best delivery either. Little bit short outside off, Rabada quickly goes back to cut and gets a faint edge through to Bairstow. South Africa are nearly done. Rabada c Bairstow b Moeen Ali 4(7) [4s-1]
33.4

31.4
W
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, out Bowled!! Gone now. Five-fer for Moeen Ali and Saqlain Mushtaq applauds from the dressing room. He now gets on the hallowed Lord's honours board. First time he has achieved that. Richly deserved too. He does a McGrath by holding the ball up and posing for the photographers. This is again not short to cut, nor the width was there, but Maharaj went back and tried the same thing. Under edge and back onto the stumps. The procession continues. Maharaj b Moeen Ali 10(9) [4s-2]
31.3
4
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, FOUR, goes over mid-on now. Connects well. Lovely levers he has, biffed this tossed up delivery and once more it is one bounce over the ropes
31.2
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, no run, ungainly heave and a thick inside edge to short mid-wicket
31.1
4
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, FOUR, good shot. Used his feet and got to the pitch, so had the freedom to free his arms, lofted it over mid-off. One bounce and over the ropes
29.6
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, no run, flat and outside off, pushed wide of point, Philander is sent back

29.3
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, no run, turns in, defended off the back foot
29.2
Moeen Ali to Maharaj, no run, Maharaj too plays back and is lucky to have got bat on this fizzer from Moeen Ali, keeps it out
29.1
W
Moeen Ali to Theunis de Bruyn, out Caught by Stokes!! They are falling like nine pins now. Always a danger when playing back on a turner, and if the ball holds its line, like it did here, then the outside edge comes into play. This is lovely teasing bowling, floated it up, but didn't shorten the length, Bruyn got a thick edge on the defence and Stokes at slip won't drop those. Mo has another and sorry faces in the Proteas's camp. Theunis de Bruyn c Stokes b Moeen Ali 1(4)
27.6
4
Moeen Ali to Philander, FOUR, is off the mark with a cut. Went back and smashed the short and wide delivery outside off, through cover and it raced away
27.5
Moeen Ali to Philander, no run, and again. This one spins past the inside edge and strikes him on the chest. He was lunging out to block and is seen grimacing in pain. Walks away to compose himself
27.4
Moeen Ali to Philander, no run, ripping offie, hits Philander high on the pad and then ricochets onto the body
27.3
W
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, out Bowled!! Gone. Another one. He played the pull earlier in the over and sort of got away. Not this one. Lost all shape on the back foot, trying to pull, early into the shot and the ball falls on the top of off. Just enough to clip the bail. Bairstow knew it straight away and started to run towards the bowler. Bavuma waited for a while to know his fate and then walked off. SA in dire straits now. Surely a 4th day finish on the cards at the moment. Bavuma b Moeen Ali 21(41) [4s-2]
27.2
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, no run, tossed up nicely outside off, Bavuma checks his drive back to Moeen Ali
27.1
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, 2 runs, shortish and outside off, Bavuma toe-ends the pull and splits two mid-wickets. Deep mid-wicket cuts it off
25.6
Moeen Ali to Theunis de Bruyn, no run, shuffles across well outside off and then pads it away, no real danger of being given lbw
25.5
W
Moeen Ali to de Kock, out Bowled!! de Kock's struggle ends. Unlucky way to go. But this counts as well. Went back to pull a short delivery on the stumps, skidded on and cramped him up, the inside edge ricocheted back on to off, off the leg. That's some way to get out. de Kock stands crestfallen. Fourth wicket in the innings that has gone against the conventional way of getting out. de Kock b Moeen Ali 18(37) [4s-2]
25.4
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, slower and on off, soft defence to backward point
25.3
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, 1 run, there's the sweep again. When it is full and outside off, he sweeps, finds deep backward square

23.3
Moeen Ali to de Kock, 1 run, tossed up outside off, de Kock gets forward and eases a push through cover for a single
23.2
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, bad shot. Went after that tossed up delivery outside off, into the footmarks and it jumps from there, not a high percentage shot. Lucky not to have edged that
23.1
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, brings de Kock forward, who defends
21.6

21.4
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, tossed up on off, de Kock gets forward to defend
21.3
4
Moeen Ali to de Kock, FOUR, four more. Another late-cut. This isn't that short, but de Kock is such a good player off the back foot, beats the chase and head-first dive of the fielder from cover
21.2
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, well tossed up on the stumps, de Kock makes room slightly and then defends to short cover
21.1
4

19.3
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, no run, gets across and turns it to short mid-wicket
19.2
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, no run, that has brushed the elbow and Bairstow has a stare at Bavuma. Spun in sharply and as the batsman left it, it touched the elbow and went to ground
19.1
Moeen Ali to Bavuma, no run, Bavuma gets outside the line and then looks to defend, it turns in to strike the pad, but the appeal died down quickly

17.2

15.6
Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, uses his feet and nudges it to mid-on

Moeen Ali to de Kock, no run, well outside off, left alone
13.6
Moeen Ali to Amla, no run, now gets an inside edge on the cover-drive? thrown up invitingly outside off, Amla went for a big drive and is lucky not to drag it on. Ricochets off something to leg-slip. Replays show that Amla missed it altogether, went off the keeper's leg to leg-slip
13.5
Moeen Ali to Amla, no run, he rarely plays the sweep, but does so, gets it from outside off and fails to connect. Another false shot
13.4

Moeen Ali to Amla, no run, lunges right out to the pitch to smother this one

11.6
Moeen Ali to Duminy, no run, tries to punch off the back foot, but the ball stays a touch low and doesn't turn like he wants to. Skews it off the inside-edge again
11.5
Moeen Ali to Duminy, no run, gets forward and defends
11.4
Moeen Ali to Duminy, no run, tossed up on off, defended
11.3
Moeen Ali to Duminy, no run, lovely from Ali. He pushes it through quicker and the change in trajectory fools Duminy. The length isn't different from the first two deliveries of this over, but he plays back to this and gets a thick inside edge
11.2

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)
7.6
Moeen Ali to Elgar, no run, very full, jammed back to Ali
7.5
