Over 3.5 Anrich Nortje bowls a good length delivery to Kusal Perera,  out Bowled!! Perera backs away to smack this out of the park. Connects thin air as this shortish delivery keeps low and strikes timber.

Over 9.3 Tabraiz Shamsi tossed up delivery to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, out Caught and Bowled!!  Tossed up outside off, he tried to push against the turn to long-on and got a thick leading edge that looped back to Shamsi 

Over 11.4 Tabraiz Shamsi tossed up delivery to Avishka Fernando, out Caught and Bowled!! Comes on to the front foot and chips it right back to Shamsi. That's his second caught and bowled dismissal of the match.

Over 13.4 Tabraiz Shamsi tossed up delivery to Wanindu Hasaranga,  out Caught by Markram!! Hasaranga thinks otherwise, sees one floated up and looks to go downtown, only to mistime it badly. Markram takes a good low catch

Over 16.4 Dwaine Pretorius bowls a good length delivery to Dasun Shanaka, out Caught by Rabada!!  Shanaka can't get leverage on the big shot despite backing away early for the stroke. No timing at all and Rabada takes a superb catch diving forward at sweeper cover. 

Over 18.2 Dwaine Pretorius bowls a good length delivery to Chamika Karunaratne, out Caught by van der Dussen!! Karunaratne is down the track, trying to create some impetus into the shot but still has nothing much to add, mistimes the loft and holes out to long-on

Over 18.4 Dwaine Pretorius bowls a slower one to Pathum Nissanka, out Caught by Nortje!! Nissanka. tries to heave it away on the leg-side, hasn't got the pace to connect, finds deep mid-wicket with precision.

Over 19.5 Anrich Nortje bowls a good length delivery to PVD Chameera, out Bowled!!  Chameera had no chance after backing away early. Tries to get bat on the ball but misses the ball crashes the stumps.

Over 19.6 Anrich Nortje bowls a good length delivery to Lahiru Kumara, out Kumara Run Out!!  Kumara backs away but can't connect and they try to steal the bye. However, he was slow to take off and de Kock's throw is on-point for Nortje to do the rest.
