Over 38.6 AB de Villiers bowls a pitched up delivery to L Ronchi, 1 run, gets forward and drives it uppishly to long-on.

Over 39.1 Imran Tahir bowls a tossed up delivery to L Ronchi, 1 run, gets back in the crease and cuts it to cover for a quick single.

Over 39.5 Imran Tahir bowls a tossed up delivery to GD Elliott, Boundary! Gets across and  flicks with a strong bottom hand grip and hits it over mid-wicket to pick up a much needed boundary.

Over 40.1 DW Steyn to L Ronchi,  out Caught by Rossouw!! Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, a harmless ball in fact, Ronchi flicks but doesn't bother to keep it down, the fielder waits for the ball to come and swallows it easily. Maybe Ronchi was trying to go over mid-wicket. Ronchi c Rossouw b Steyn 8(7)
