55.1

51.5
4
Morne Morkel to Pat Cummins, FOUR, Morkel is struggling with his lines. Loads of width served outside off and the length is short as well. That's the recipe to get punished and Cummins doesn't miss out. Hops, reaches out and cuts it over the cover region to collect his fourth boundary

51.3
