Oshada Fernando 37(76)

37.2
W
Steyn to Oshada Fernando, out Caught by du Plessis!! Edged and gone! The 58-run stand has been broken. He was playing so well, pokes at one and perishes. A cross-seam delivery at 143kph around the fifth-sixth stump channel. Fernando could have let it go, instead jabs his bat at it with hard hands and gets a healthy outside edge. Faf completes the catch at second slip. Steyn is pumped up. Oshada Fernando c du Plessis b Steyn 37(76) [4s-5]

4

23.2
Maharaj to Kusal Perera, 1 run, gets forward, taps to cover and sets off for a risky single. Steyn misses the target at the bowler's end. A direct hit would have been curtains for Perera. The bat jammed into the turf (outside the crease) and Perera's foot was in the air

21.6
4

20.3

19.6
Rabada to Oshada Fernando, 1 run, 139kph, short of length delivery and Fernando pushes it to the right of point. The batsmen go for a quick single - not sure why! The fielder misses the target at the striker's end. A direct hit would have made things interesting

4
