    2.5 picks him out! Deep square leg barely had to move...a short ball, Khawaja went for the pull and didn't try to keep it down. A lot of effort for not much reward in that stay. Neat catch by Wiese 23/1

    7.1 would you believe it! Starts with a filthy full toss outside off which Finch plants straight to deep midwicket. The mood is with Tahir in recent weeks 71/3

    6.1 strikes first ball! Over the wicket, short of a length outside off, and Warner ends up steering this straight to backward point where Duminy takes a good low catch. He went for placement rather than brute force this time 69/2

    10.5 and he's edged it! A very tame dismissal. A short delivery which he was trying to guide to third man - another cutter from Wiese, dragged a long way down - and it takes a top edge through to de Kock 91/4

    11.3 huge wicket! Short of a length works again. Maxwell standing on leg stump, tries to give himself room to go over the off side but ends up carving high into the air and du Plessis snaffles the catch just outside the fielding circle 97/5

    13.2 and he has another! Nevill going right back in his crease, the ball appeared to strike in line with leg stump. Will be interesting to see a replay of that one. A typically full-throated appeal from Tahir and to his delight the finger goes up 104/6

    0.1 got him, steered to the keeper for a golden duck! Some swing for Coulter-Nile, no foot movement from AB and he sort of pokes at it, visible edge and Peter Nevill pounces to his right to pouch a first-ball catch on debut! 0/1

    2.5 full and straight, de Kock plays across the line again... and this time the top edge ends up in the hands of the bowler! It was a slower ball from Coulter-Nile, cutting his fingers over it, deceived de Kock and the ball went straight up to be taken halfway down the pitch 17/2

    9.4 run out, du Plessis gone now! Miller dropped his first ball down behind square, they go for the quick single but Nevill was quicker than both, swooping to his left and under-arming on to the stumps with Faf half a yard short of his ground 72/5

    5.4 shortish, on the pull - and picks out midwicket! Duminy didn't connect cleanly, came off the toe straight to Finch, who took it above his head. A roll of the Tye die works for Smith 41/3

    12.5 uh-oh spaghetti-ohs! This is an almighty mix up and someone has been run out... Looks like Wiese is trudging off. Miller had played the ball down between his legs, he didn't know exactly where it had gone, Wiese came charging through and by the time Miller tried to send him back they were both at the same end. Hastings kept calm to run down in his follow through and gently toss the ball back to the non-striker's end and complete the job 95/6

    16.5 slogged over extra cover, not got all of it - gottim, brilliant from Finch! Superb work, running across from mid-off, he barreled to his left and took it at full stretch, tumbling over before sitting up, looking like a pleased teddy bear. Morris just needed to hang around with Miller but he's holed out, the finisher finished 134/7
