Sayers 0-68(14 ov)

87.6
4
Sayers to du Plessis, FOUR, flat-batted. Tall, rocking back, transferring his momentum into the pull, through mid-wicket. Sheer muscle
87.5
Sayers to du Plessis, 2 runs, wrists it out to mid-on, and nobody's cleanly backing up Cummins' throw from there .. it's falling apart
87.4
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, back to moving away, throwing his hands hard at the width to carve it to cover
87.3
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, wild hack. Stays put in his crease, looking to dispatch this shortened length. Can't do with the bounce
87.2
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, just short. And these I0$ Aussies do not even appeal. Faf goes hard on his slap, doesn't get the elevation as it dies in front of Lyon at short cover
87.1
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, 123kph, takes his injured bottom hand off, handle-ing the block
85.6
Sayers to du Plessis, 2 runs, flows through the line, shovelling it uppishly over mid-off. More of a toe-ended chip
85.5
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, finds a crack. Comes back in sharply, tearing up Faf's defence of sorts .. not the finger, it's the box this time
85.4
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, holding its line just outside off, lines up in front of his stumps to leave
85.3
Sayers to Elgar, 1 run, high soft hands, jabbing it into the covers
85.2
4
Sayers to Elgar, FOUR, sitting up on the tummy. Elgar heaves, powerfully through mid-wicket. And Nathan Lyon does all the hard work, running across but tumbling all over it
85.1
Sayers to Elgar, no run, down leg, Elgar shuffles inside the line to duck under it
83.6
Sayers to du Plessis, 1 run, zips back, Faf as always gives the impression of the bounce taking him by surprise. But the splice is kind enough for it to run in front of square in the gaps. 99 and the strike
83.5
Sayers to Elgar, 1 run, it touches 500. Thanks to a delicate nurdle through mid-wicket
83.4
Sayers to Elgar, no run, nipping back in, but Elgar knows the bounce, every angle of it to leave
83.3
Sayers to Elgar, no run, 126kph, bumped in. Elgar sits
83.2

83.1
Sayers to du Plessis, 1 run, 121kph, on the shorter side, but sitting up nicely for Faf to go tall and punch it through the covers. Just the single .. 98
81.6
4
Sayers to Elgar, FOUR, too full, too straight and gets the punishment it deserved. Easy pickings for Elgar, who uses his wrists to good effect. Flicked over mid-wicket
81.5
Sayers to Elgar, no run, slanted across, left alone
81.4
4
Sayers to Elgar, FOUR, that's not the area Elgar targeted. Inswinging full ball, Elgar gets an inside edge that runs away to the deep backward square leg fence. He wanted to drive it through mid-on, but didn't account for the swing. Gets a boundary, anyway
81.3
Sayers to Elgar, no run, in-curling length ball on middle, tucked to mid-wicket

68.5
Sayers to Elgar, no run, stump-to-stump line, Elgar pokes it on the off-side
68.4
4
Sayers to Elgar, FOUR, shot! South Africa have shifted gears. Elgar decides to go aerial and my boy, he has timed that really well. Plants his front leg across and lofts this good length ball high and over mid-on
68.3
Sayers to Elgar, no run, the back leg is bent and then wafts at this short of a good length ball outside off, can't beat cover
68.2
Sayers to Elgar, no run, Elgar is cramped for room now as the short of length delivery kept coming in with the angle - round the wicket. Manages to tuck it to mid-wicket

66.5
Sayers to Elgar, 2 runs, first runs of the day and Elgar is sporting a smile, this was full and wide of off, might have pitched in the rough - messes up with Elgar's timing as he drove it over cover, good enough for a couple of runs
66.4
Sayers to du Plessis, 1 run, on a good length and just outside off, driven with an open face - behind point for a single
66.3
4
Sayers to du Plessis, FOUR, lovely shot, du Plessis is looking to dominate the bowling, shimmies down the track, makes room as he did so, gets down on one knee and thumps it over cover for a boundary

48.3

48.2
4

46.3
Sayers to du Plessis, no run, smashes the fingers. From off, jagging in, finds the glove. The bat falls down as well as he tries to fend it away. Oh the damage a 122kph ball can do, thank God it isn't Cummins bowling
46.2

4

4
Sayers to Markram, FOUR, a genuine flirt, with Markram leaning and messing around with a rather wide one. And this time the edge splits third slip and gully. But with soft hands to his credit
1.4
Sayers to Elgar, 3 runs, wobbling, but down the wrong line, not even with two catching mid-wickets. Slow enough as well for Elgar to line himself up, wait and nudge it out to deep square leg
