- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 taken! Klaasen dives forward to snuff another Zimbabwean wicket. Rabada goes short, and this time Masakadza looks to defend off the back foot. The ball gets big on him, hits the side of his glove and lobs into the diving keeper's hands 44/35.5 off-stump taken out. And Tahir takes flight and pumps the fist. Beautifully bowled. On a length, tossed up on middle and turning past the outside edge subtly to smash into off 16/16.4 with Steyn's raw pace, it was only a matter of time before someone nicked off. This one's short of a length, a cross-seam delivery that nips away and squares him up with extra bounce. Edged behind to the keeper 21/226.2 spins past the outside edge after drawing him forward. And has the backfoot come off? Stumping referred upstairs. Oh, that's gone. The foot is in the air, and he has slid it back in but the bails have been whipped off a fraction of a second before. He's gone here. End of a big stand 117/434.5 taken on the followthrough! Williams wears a disappointed look. Length ball on middle, and he tries to work it towards the leg side. it hits the top-half of his bat, and pops right up towards the non-striker's direction. Rabada spots that early and sprints across to the leg side, and then stretches forward while running to complete another soft catch 159/632.3 ramped to first slip! Pure catching practice there. Good length ball angling in, and he tries to lift this over slip. Not off the bat's middle and flying through fast as well. Hendricks takes a small leap, puts his hand up and takes an excellent catch to get Moor's wicket 151/540.1 edged and gone. Slashes at the sight of width and the ball gets up a bit more to shave the edge and settle into the keeper's gloves 182/749.3 in the air and taken. That's the end of the innings. Slower ball from Steyn, wide and back of a length, Tiripano has a flat-batted swing at it and the ball shoots up off the splice and goes to Faf at extra cover 228/1044.4 swipes at a full toss and chips it in the air off the outside of the bat, and du Plessis at mid-off easily grabs it 210/848.5 rolls his fingers over a length ball and Jarvis takes a swing and connects only well enough to send a catch down the throat of long-on 224/9Extras10 (b 3, w 7)TOTAL228 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 4.6)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Solomon Mire, 5.5 ov), 2-21 (Craig Ervine, 6.4 ov), 3-44 (Hamilton Masakadza, 10.6 ov), 4-117 (Brendan Taylor, 26.2 ov), 5-151 (Peter Moor, 32.3 ov), 6-159 (Sean Williams, 34.5 ov), 7-182 (Elton Chigumbura, 40.1 ov), 8-210 (Brandon Mavuta, 44.4 ov), 9-224 (Kyle Jarvis, 48.5 ov), 10-228 (Donald Tiripano, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 oh, that's plumb. Given by the umpire Gaffaney. Nicely looped into middle and straightening down the channel. Markram closes the face and gets pinned on the pad. But, hang on, there's been an inside edge. No reviews, unfortunately. End of a very fluent innings 75/130.5 full, angled into the pads, Hendricks tries to flick and gets hit on the pad as the ball beats the inside edge and pins him in front of middle and leg 156/419.6 straight to midwicket! Du Plessis was looking so good, but Mavuta has struck. Half-tracker on middle, and the well-timed pull shot picks out the fielder jumping upwards 117/222.4 Mavuta is pumped! Takes an acrobatic effort at deep extra to remove Duminy. Full on off, and he tried to smack this over cover, but can only take a thick outside edge. In the air for ages but the youngster makes no mistake 122/342.5 slower ball, short on middle, and he toe-ends a pull right into midwicket's hands! Soft 222/545.2 to the keeper! Phehlukwayo goes for a duck. Length ball going across his body, and he tried to push at it. Beaten by the pace, and it takes an outside edge to the keeper 227/6Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL231/6 (45.5 Overs, RR: 5.04)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Aiden Markram, 12.3 ov), 2-117 (Faf du Plessis, 19.6 ov), 3-122 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 22.4 ov), 4-156 (Reeza Hendricks, 30.5 ov), 5-222 (Heinrich Klaasen, 42.5 ov), 6-227 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 45.2 ov)
