Over 0.3 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to DPDN Dickwella, out Caught by Shamsi! Dickwella went for a whip away into the on-side and ended up getting a leading edge that lobbed up tamely towards Shamsi at short mid-wicket who tumbles across to take a good catch.

Over 2.4 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to Kusal Mendis,  out Caught by de Kock! A bit of away-swing, just enough to beat the batsman, seaming away slightly too, Kusal Mendis is tentative in his defensive prod and gets a feather through to de Kock who holds on.

Over 5.1 Lungi Ngidi bowls a good length delivery to WU Tharanga,  out Tharanga Run Out!  A good length ball just tapped to mid-off where Duminy advances at the ball and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end.

Over 7.1 Lungi Ngidi bowls a good length delivery to AD Mathews, no runs, stays in the crease and blocks under his eyes.

Over 8.5 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to Shehan Jayasuriya, out Caught by de Kock!  Jayasuriya looks to defend on the front foot but the wrists extrapolate into a poke away from the body which takes a feather through to the keeper.

Over 17.4 Tabraiz Shamsi bowls a quicker arm ball to Thisara Perera, out Caught by de Kock!! Thisara was prodding forward in defence, gets a slight feather and de Kock holds on. There was a clear edge on that.

Over 26.4 Tabraiz Shamsi bowls a quicker arm ball to Akila Dananjaya, out Bowled!! Dananjaya didn't spot it, backed away on the cut, got cramped for room as the ball kept spinning back into him, all he managed was an under-edge and the ball went on to clip the off-stump. 

Over 30.3 Tabraiz Shamsi bowls a tossed up delivery to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Miller!! This was tossed up on the leg-stump line, Kusal for once went for the reverse sweep, struck it pretty well - but couldn't keep it down. It was traveling and it was to his left at backward point - Miller went reverse cup it.

Over 33.2 Kagiso Rabada bowls a good length delivery to RAS Lakmal, out Caught by de Kock!!  Lakmal pushed his bat in front of him, took his eyes off the ball and only managed to glove it through to the keeper. An easy catch for de Kock.

Over 34.3 Tabraiz Shamsi bowls it flat in the air to Lahiru Kumara, out Stumped!! Kumara showed no inclination to fight, jumps down the track, allows Shamsi to shorten his length, swings all over the place and misses. A simple stumping for de Kock.
