15.5
W
Rabada to Thirimanne, out Caught by du Plessis!! Edged and Faf makes no mistake. Good length delivery outside off stump, Thirimanne tries hard without the ball being actually close to the body, should have let that pass as he was doing earlier, but tries to find the fence, ends up finding Faf at second slip, who dived to his right to end this stubborn 42-run opening stand.

4

4
Steyn to Karunaratne, FOUR, crunchy. That'll make up for the five tight deliveries. Too straight and real quick wrists in rolling them on the drive through an empty mid-on
3.5
Philander to Thirimanne, no run, and it gets further unplayable. A tad shorter, fizzing up past the gloves on Thirimanne's half poke

1.4
Philander to Thirimanne, no run, shuffles across, covering the line in a dropped defence
1.3
4
Philander to Thirimanne, FOUR, airy outside edge. Quite a no-feet punch on the up, and luckily gets a lot of bat - unlike the first innings feather - to fly it over the slips
1.2
Philander to Thirimanne, no run, length, shaping back in on the fourth stump, a big forward stride in defence
1.1
Philander to Thirimanne, no run, 124kph, pushed through full, swings in a touch pretty late, but all of it is outside off, with the over the wicket angle making the leave all the more easy
