74.0 - Shakib to Bavuma, FOUR, short and wide, Bavuma rocks on the back foot and cuts it through cover, he had so much time to place it to perfection, no need to run for those

72.1 - Jubair Hossain to Harmer, byes, FOUR, Jubair is creating problems here, both for the batsman and the keeper, bowls this at the rate of milk float travels and the ball dips just in front of keeper, who fails to gather it as it was too low, it sneaked through his hands and raced away to the fence

69.2 - Mohammad Shahid to Philander, FOUR, short and wide from Shahid, Philander pounces on it as he cuts it past backward point, went hard on the cut and middled it too, that raced away in a hurry

68.3 - Jubair Hossain to Philander, FOUR, half-volley outside off, Philander leans forward and drives it wide of mid-off, he timed that so well and it raced away

62.3 - T Islam to Bavuma, FOUR, lovely shot, this is even better from Bavuma, tossed up and just outside off, Bavuma gets a big stride forward and drills it through extra cover, beats the fielder and races away to the fence

28.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to du Plessis, FOUR, very full and down the leg-side, du Plessis tickles it fine past the keeper and it runs away to the fence in no time. The keeper dived across to his left, but failed to get a hand on it. That'll also be lunch on day 1

26.5 - T Islam to du Plessis, FOUR, gives the charge once again and flicks it in the air over mid-on, didn't time it too well but it had enough on it to reach the fence

19.3 - Mohammad Shahid to du Plessis, FOUR, once again bowls it in the channel outside off, du Plessis looks to defend with soft hands, the ball takes a thick outside edge and runs away in the gap between slip and gully, crashes into the fence in no time

18.4 - T Islam to du Plessis, FOUR, du Plessis once again comes down the track and lofts this tossed up delivery through the line, clears mid-on easily and it crashes into the fence in a jiffy

16.3 - Shakib to Elgar, FOUR, Elgar gives the charge to this flighted delivery and lofts it through the line, he hit it dead straight over the bowler's head and it runs away to the fence

16.0 - Mahmudullah to du Plessis, FOUR, lovely shot! Mahmudullah tosses this up on the stumps, du Plessis comes dancing down the track and wrists it wide of mid-on, who dives across to his right but fails to stop the ball. The ball runs away to the fence in no time

8.4 - Shakib to van Zyl, FOUR, excellent cricket from van Zyl, shimmies down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and drills it past mid-off, no need to run for those

5.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to van Zyl, FOUR, cracking shot, overpitched and on the stumps, van Zyl leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives it past mid-on. The fielder went down in installments, the ball was way past him by then

4.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Elgar, FOUR, lovely shot, overpitched and well outside off, Elgar leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and punches it through mid-off, no need to run for those

2.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to van Zyl, leg byes, FOUR, poor start from Rahman, drifts one onto van Zyl's pads, he looks to flick and misses, the ball brushes the pads and races away past the keeper for four leg-byes

1.0 - Mohammad Shahid to van Zyl, FOUR, too straight from Shahid, ends up drifting onto van Zyl's pads, he gets inside the line and helps it on its way, the ball races away to the fine leg fence

0.2 - Mohammad Shahid to van Zyl, FOUR, that's easy pickings for van Zyl, a real gift from Shahid, full toss outside off, van Zyl leans forward and drives it sweetly through cover, no need to run for those

83.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to Bavuma, out Caught by Jubair Hossain!! Mustafizur puts the final nail in the coffin. South Africa have been bowled out for 248, their second lowest total against Bangladesh in Tests. This was banged in short outside off by Mustafizur, Bavuma goes for the pull and doesn't keep it down. Jubair at deep square leg gets under it and takes a simple catch. Bavuma c Jubair Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 54(108) [4s-5]

79.4 - Jubair Hossain to Steyn, out Caught by Tamim!! South Africa are falling apart here. 2 wickets in 3 balls for Jubair. It was another rank long hop from Jubair, should have been put away to the fence. Instead, Steyn rocks on the back foot and mistimes the flat-batted loft completely, Tamim from mid-off backtracks and takes the simplest of catches. Steyn c Tamim b Jubair Hossain 2(2)

79.2 - Jubair Hossain to Harmer, out Caught by Mominul!! Poor ball from Jubair and that has fetched him a wicket. It was dragged well short and down the leg-side, Harmer goes for the pull and drags it straight towards FSL, who was moving to his right. The ball sneaks under Mominul's arm when he was taking evasive action. The ball hits the arm and gets stuck between his left hand and thigh. Lucky break for the Tigers, but they won't mind it one bit. Harmer c Mominul b Jubair Hossain 9(37)

70.5 - Jubair Hossain to Philander, out Caught by Shakib!! Philander's luck doesn't last long, first wicket for the leg-spinner. This was tossed up nicely and gets it to dip just outside off, Philander leans on his front foot and looks to block it, gets a thick outside edge that goes low to Shakib, who takes it inches from the ground at first slip. South Africa are in big, big trouble now. Philander c Shakib b Jubair Hossain 24(36) [4s-2]

59.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to de Kock, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Mustafizur is on fire, gets his third wicket of the over. This was a cracker of a delivery, pitched just outside off, just came in with the angle, de Kock was late in bringing his bat down, the off-stump is sent cartwheeling. A duck for de Kock and suddenly South Africa find themselves in a heap of trouble. de Kock b Mustafizur Rahman 0(2)

59.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Duminy, out Lbw!! A first ball duck for Duminy and Mustafizur is on a hat-trick. Lovely piece of bowling from Mustafizur, this was pitched up and nipped back in a fraction, Duminy was caught in his crease as he looked to work it towards the on-side, misses and is struck right in front of the stumps. The impact was in front of middle and the ball was going on to crash into leg-stump. South Africa have lost half their side and are in a spot of bother. Duminy lbw b Mustafizur Rahman 0(1)

59.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to Amla, out Caught by Litton Das!! Edged and caught! Maiden Test scalp for Mustafizur, a big wicket as well, Amla falls. This was pitched up and shaped away slighty outside off, Amla was rooted to the crease as he played at that, ends up playing well away from his body, he was looking to dab it towards third man. The outside edge is found and it's a simple catch for Litton. South Africa lose their fourth wicket and are in some trouble now. Amla c Litton Das b Mustafizur Rahman 13(28) [4s-1]

47.1 - Shakib to du Plessis, out Lbw!! One gets two they say and it's been proved again. Just a few minutes ago, Elgar and Faf were comfortable at the crease, all of a sudden, both have been dismissed in a space of 3 balls. The Bangladeshi fans are ecstatic in the stands. Slider from round the wicket, it wasn't all that short enough to hang back and defend, it skids through and also keeps low, strikes Faf right in front of off stump. Faf didn't even think about asking Amla for the review as it was pretty straightforward. du Plessis lbw b Shakib 48(122) [4s-5]

46.5 - T Islam to Elgar, out Caught by Litton Das!! Elgar walks! Litton Das almost spilled it, but he managed to grab the rebound. Poor shot from Elgar and he pays the price. Flatter delivery outside off stump, the ball bounces a bit extra, Elgar plays a half-hearted punch, ends up poking at it, gets the outside edge, the ball hit the keeper's glove and popped out, but he recovered in time to turn and take it on the second attempt before tumbling onto the ground. End of a fine 78-run stand. Elgar c Litton Das b T Islam 47(111) [4s-3]

13.4 - Mahmudullah to van Zyl, out Caught by Litton Das!! van Zyl has been strangled down the leg-side! This was pushed through down the leg-side, the quicker arm-ball from Mahmudullah. van Zyl was looking to tickle it down the leg-side, the ball goes off the face of the bat, Litton moves across quickly to his right and accepts the chance gleefully. van Zyl was looking in good touch, but he has to walk back to the hut. van Zyl c Litton Das b Mahmudullah 34(49) [4s-6]

80.5 - Mohammad Shahid to Bavuma, 1 run, edged and dropped! Once again it's Shahid, who is the bowler and Kayes, who is the fielder. This was pitched up outside off, Bavuma goes for the drive and ends up getting an outside edge, Kayes moves across to his left, gets both hands to it but can't hold on. The batsmen take a single as the ball rolls away past the helmet behind the keeper. Kayes then tries to effect a direct-hit at the striker's end and misses

69.4 - Mohammad Shahid to Philander, 3 runs, edged annnnnnnd dropped, on a good length and lures the batsman to have a go at it, Philander pushes at it tentatively, gets a thick outside edge that flies wide of first slip, Kayes dives to his left and attempts a one-handed take, he is late in doing so and ends up deflecting it past keeper. That should have been taken

81.0 - Mohammad Shahid to M Morkel, no run, this was angled across the stumps, Morkel lines up for the pull and misses it completely, he wears it on the pad in line with the middle stump, but the ball had pitched outside leg. Umpire Kettleborough's onfield call is upheld by the third umpire

79.5 - Jubair Hossain to Bavuma, 1 run, it has been an eventuful over and now, Bavuma gets to his maiden Test fifty. This was a loopy full toss on the stumps, Bavuma clips it wide of mid-on, who runs to his right and stops the ball with a dive. Couldn't prevent the batsmen from taking the single though

108.5 - M Morkel to T Islam, FOUR, nicely played by Taijul! This was short and wide of off, Taijul plays with an angled bat as he guides this one behind backward point, got enough wood on that and it raced away

107.1 - Philander to Mohammad Shahid, FOUR, Shahid certainly has a good eye. He doesn't get into the line of the ball, but manages to club this back of a length delivery wide of long-on as it runs away to the boundary boards. He has his own method of batting

107.0 - M Morkel to Litton Das, FOUR, Litton gets his highest score with a superbly played shot. This was a back of a length delivery and bowled outside off, Litton punches it through the cover region for a boundary. Lovely timing on that shot

103.4 - Harmer to Mohammad Shahid, FOUR, this time, Shahid slogs across the line to this quicker delivery and wallops it over mid-wicket for a boundary

103.3 - Harmer to Mohammad Shahid, FOUR, Shahid has decided to take the aggressive route. He uses his feet, doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, but still goes with the loft and hits it over mid-off for a boundary

103.1 - Harmer to Mohammad Shahid, FOUR, Harmer gets this one to turn in, Shahid presses forward, gets an outside edge, the slip fielder dives to his left, but it goes past him for a boundary

100.1 - Duminy to Shakib, FOUR, shortish outside off, Shakib pulls it in front of square on the on-side, Elgar at mid-wicket leaps up to his left, but the ball evades him and runs away to the boundary boards

99.3 - Harmer to Shakib, FOUR, this time, Harmer drags it down, Shakib rocks back to pull it in front of square on the on-side, sends it over mid-wicket for a boundary. This is the highest sixth wicket partnership for Bangladesh against South Africa

98.1 - Duminy to Litton Das, FOUR, Duminy drags it down, Litton comes forward before rocking back to cut it through sweeper cover for a boundary. The fielder from cover tried to hunt it down, but to no avail. This is now the highest score for Bangladesh against South Africa in Tests

92.4 - Steyn to Litton Das, FOUR, top shot! Bangladesh have taken the lead. Only the second time that they have achieved it against South Africa. Overpitched on off, Das presents the full face of the bat and drives it straight down the ground. He held his pose for the cameras

91.0 - Steyn to Litton Das, FOUR, edged and four! No second slip and the ball races away. This was an excellent delivery from Steyn, on a length and gets it to holds its line, Das had to play at that and he can only manage an outside edge, Amla at first slip bent his head down in disappointment

89.2 - Harmer to Litton Das, FOUR, consecutive boundaries, not the most convincing of shots, but Das will take the final result, tossed up around off, he kneels down and top-edges the sweep over backward square, no one in the deep to stop that

89.1 - Harmer to Litton Das, FOUR, fabulous shot! Takes on the spinner straightaway, dances down the wicket to the flighted delivery, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it handsomely over mid-wicket

85.0 - M Morkel to Litton Das, FOUR, lovely shot! That ball raced across the turf. The timing was absolutely brilliant. Fuller length delivery angled into the pads, Das leans forward and whips it in the air through mid-wicket, first boundary for him. It just eluded JPD, who dived to his right

80.2 - van Zyl to Shakib, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Shakib, this was overpitched just outside off, Shakib drills it straight back past the non-striker, races away to the fence in a jiffy

80.1 - van Zyl to Shakib, FOUR, lovely shot! This one was bowled slightly wide outside off, Shakib stays back and cuts it to the left of backward point, hits the fence in no time

72.3 - Steyn to Rahim, FOUR, down the leg-side this time around, Rahim manages to glance it fine past the keeper and it runs away to the fence in no time

68.3 - Steyn to Rahim, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Rahim, this was shortish and well outside off, Rahim stays back and cuts it to the left of backward point, hits the fence in a jiffy

68.2 - Steyn to Rahim, FOUR, length delivery just outside off, Rahim pushes at it with an open face, the ball rolls away in the gap between second slip and backward point, runs away to the fence in no time

64.1 - Philander to Mahmudullah, FOUR, edged and four! This was bowled on a length outside off, Mahmudullah goes for the drive away from his body, gets an outside edge that runs away in the gap between slip and gully

61.0 - M Morkel to Mahmudullah, FOUR, back-to-back fours for Mahmudullah. Amla isn't happy with his bowler and Morkel immediately puts his hand up and apologises to his skipper. It was short and wide outside off, got the punishment it deserved. Mahmudullah stands tall and cracks it square of the wicket, backward point puts in the dive but it goes in vain

60.5 - M Morkel to Mahmudullah, FOUR, short of length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah stays on the back foot, opens the face of the bat and punches it to the left of backward point, where van Zyl slides but fails to stop the ball. The ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

59.2 - Harmer to Rahim, FOUR, lovely shot! This was tossed up outside off, Rahim skips down the track, leans into the drive and caresses it through the cover region, runs away to the fence in no time

57.0 - Steyn to Rahim, FOUR, a sumptuous boundary brings up the 150 for Bangladesh. It turned out to be a double bluff indeed as he bowls this delivery very full and just outside off, Rahim leans into the drive and collects a boundary to the right of mid-off. It went along the ground all the way

54.3 - Steyn to Mahmudullah, FOUR, straying down leg, Mahmudullah glances it past the diving de Kock for a boundary. It can be termed as a half-chance, but the keeper couldn't get there in time, despite putting the in the dive. Brings up his 12th Test fifty with that boundary

49.4 - Harmer to Tamim, FOUR, short delivery from Harmer, Tamim tries to cut, the ball flies to the left of slip off a thick outside edge, the ball goes scurrying to the boundary boards. He tried to hit it too hard there

45.2 - Harmer to Mahmudullah, FOUR, this delivery just holds its line, Mahmudullah brings out the sweep and plays it backward of square leg for a boundary. He was in complete control of the shot

36.2 - Steyn to Mahmudullah, FOUR, crashed! This boundary brings up the 100 for Bangladesh. This was just short of a good length and outside off, Mahmudullah goes deep in the crease and drives it through the cover region, hits the fence in no time at all

35.5 - Philander to Mahmudullah, FOUR, lovely shot! Another short of length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah transfers his weight onto the back foot and punches it beautifully through the cover region, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

30.3 - Steyn to Mahmudullah, FOUR, edged and four! It was on a good length and outside off, lures Mahmudullah to go after it. The batsman obliges and drives away from his body, gets an outside edge that rolls away in the gap between slip and gully, runs away to the fence in a jiffy

26.0 - Harmer to Mahmudullah, FOUR, tossed up delivery from Harmer, Mahmudullah again uses his feet, wasn't upto the pitch of the ball as he goes through with the loft, he once again gets it off the inside half of the bat and it scurries away wide of mid-on for a boundary

25.5 - Harmer to Mahmudullah, FOUR, Mahmudullah is very lucky there. He advanced down the wicket to a delivery that was bowled slightly slower in the air, goes for the big heave and drags it off the inside half of the bat, it goes past the fielder at mid-wicket, who dives across to his left but fails to get a hand on it. It was in the air for quite a while, but luckily for Mahmudullah, it didn't go to the fielder

21.2 - Harmer to Mominul, FOUR, short and asking to be walloped, Mominul goes right back in the crease to pull it in front of square on the on-side for a boundary

17.3 - Harmer to Kayes, FOUR, short delivery from Harmer, Kayes goes right back in the crease and cuts it. He finds the gap between cover-point and backward point to perfection

16.1 - M Morkel to Kayes, leg byes, FOUR, strays on the pads once again, Kayes can't glance it fine as he looks to get his bat out of the way at the last moment, the ball clips the thigh pad and runs away to the fine leg fence. de Kock had no chance of cutting that off

10.2 - M Morkel to Kayes, FOUR, magnificent shot! Morkel offers a half-volley outside off and Kayes didn't miss out. He leans forward and drives it beautifully in the gap between mid-off and extra cover, no need to run for those

7.3 - Philander to Kayes, FOUR, lovely drive! Philander bowls a pretty full ball just outside off, Kayes comes forward, offers the full face of the bat and drives it to the left of mid-off, who puts in the dive but fails to stop the ball

6.2 - Steyn to Tamim, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Tamim, this time Steyn offers some width outside off, Tamim latches onto it in a flash and cracks it through the cover region, runs away to the fence in no time

6.1 - Steyn to Tamim, FOUR, length delivery on off, Tamim presses forward and pushes it past the bowler, who tries to stop it with his left boot, but fails to do so. Mid-on gives chase but the ball beats him to the fence

104.0 - Harmer to Mohammad Shahid, SIX, Shahid is in the mood to thump Harmer to all corners of the ground. He again uses his feet, gets close to the pitch of the ball and lofts it down the ground for a six, the second six of the innings. 18 runs came in that over

63.5 - Harmer to Rahim, SIX, tonked! This was floated up on the stumps, Rahim gives the charge and reaches to the pitch of the ball, lofts it through the line and sends it soaring over the long-on fence for a maximum

116.1 - Steyn to Mustafizur Rahman, out Caught by Duminy!! Bangladeshi bowlers certainly don't like short balls. Steyn is just one short of joining the 400-wicket club in Test match cricket. This was short and on the stumps, Rahman backs away and was looking to ramp it over the slip cordon, ball takes the toe-end of the bat and goes high in the air towards point, Duminy runs back and grabs a well judged catch, kept his eyes on the ball till the last instant. Mustafizur Rahman c Duminy b Steyn 3(13)

114.3 - Steyn to T Islam, out Caught by Elgar!! After surviving a few scary short balls, Taijul has finally got out. This was a dug in short and got good bounce just outside off, Taijul was looking to guide it behind point with an angled bat, doesn't time it well. Elgar at gully dives to his right and takes a sharp catch. T Islam c Elgar b Steyn 9(27) [4s-1]

110.0 - Harmer to Litton Das, out Caught by de Kock!! Litton walks back with a grim face. This was nicely set up by Harmer, tossed up delivery on the stumps, he gets a sharp dip and turn too. Das was late in his defence on the back foot, ball takes the inside edge and deflects onto the back thigh pad, de Kock takes a good low catch close to the stumps. Litton Das c de Kock b Harmer 50(102) [4s-7]

107.3 - Philander to Mohammad Shahid, out Caught by van Zyl!! Finally, Shahid's luck runs out. He backs away and slogs this back of a length delivery in the air, van Zyl initially doesn't pick the ball, but manages to get there in time by running forward, sets under the ball and takes a fine low catch. End of a breezy innings from Shahid. Mohammad Shahid c van Zyl b Philander 25(19) [4s-4 6s-1]

102.0 - Harmer to Shakib, out Caught by Duminy!! Shakib hasn't learnt his lesson as a rush of blood costs him his wicket. Shakib again tries to pull an arm-ball that hurried onto him, gets a top-edge, but it goes straight up in the air, and Duminy at short mid-wicket sets under the ball, takes it with both hands. Poor cricket from Shakib as he had escaped earlier trying a similar shot a few deliveries ago. Harmer is pumped after snaring the wicket. Shakib c Duminy b Harmer 47(114) [4s-4]

72.5 - Steyn to Rahim, out Lbw!! Steyn has his arms aloft in joy. This one jags back in sharply from around off, Rahim fails to work it away and wears it on the back thigh pad. It looked a little high at first, but Rahim is not that tall a batsman. Amla reviewed and Hawk-Eye showed that the ball would have gone on to hit the middle stump. Half the Bangladeshi side is back in the hut now. Rahim lbw b Steyn 28(61) [4s-5 6s-1]

66.1 - Philander to Mahmudullah, out Lbw!! Finally, Philander gets the big fish. Mahmudullah departs after a good knock. This one nipped back in off the seam as Mahmudullah looks to work it away into the on-side, he misses and wears it on the pad in front of middle and leg. There was a loud appeal and the umpire raised his finger immediately. It would have gone on to clip the leg stump. That would have stayed out had Mahmudullah reviewed it. Mahmudullah lbw b Philander 67(138) [4s-10]

53.3 - Elgar to Tamim, out Bowled!! The loopy delivery has done the trick for Elgar. This was tossed up and and bowled on the stumps, Tamim got outside the line of the ball as he tried another of those pre-meditated sweep shots, he missed and the ball crashes into the leg-stump. He was trying to take the delivery on the full there, but in the end played all around it. A lapse in concentration led to his dismissal. Tamim b Elgar 57(129) [4s-3]

21.5 - Harmer to Mominul, out Bowled!! Arm-ball that was pushed through on the stumps by Harmer. Mominul perhaps thought that there was width on offer, so he tried to cut, and his off-stump was pegged back. It was too close to cut there and the batsman made an error in judgment. It has to be remembered that the previous delivery turned away and bounced extra too. So that could be a reason why Mominul was playing for the turn there and went after it with the cut shot. Mominul b Harmer 6(14) [4s-1]

18.2 - van Zyl to Kayes, out Stumped!! Well, quick reflexes from de Kock has resulted in South Africa taking the first wicket. It was straying down leg, Kayes tried to flick it, missed it, the wicket-keeper went to his right, collected the ball and whipped the bails off in a flash. Kayes loses his balance, his back foot was in the air and that resulted in his dismissal. Superb reflexes shown by de Kock there. He deserves a lot of credit for that wicket. Kayes st de Kock b van Zyl 26(73) [4s-3]

115.0 - Steyn to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, dropped, back of a length delivery outside off, Rahman makes room and looks to cut it over point, gets a thick outside edge that flies towards first slip, Amla leaps high but fails to grab it with both hands, fails on the second attempt as well

110.5 - M Morkel to T Islam, no run, this was a good length delivery angled into the left-hander, the ball straightened after passing the batsman, Taijul was playing for the angle though, he attempted a tentative poke, de Kock was up in a flash but replays don't confirm his thoughts

109.1 - Harmer to Litton Das, 1 run, Well played Litton Kumar Das! This is his maiden fifty in Test match cricket, gets there with a tuck to backward square leg

47.2 - Harmer to Tamim, 1 run, interesting shot from Tamim to reach to his 18th Test fifty. This delivery was shorter in length, Tamim thought of working it through the on-side, but the deck is so slow that he is able to steer it through the short cover region for an easy single. The crowd erupted as soon as he reached his fifty. It has been a steady innings from him as he has cracked only two fours till now

20.5 - Mustafizur Rahman to van Zyl, FOUR, superb shot! Fuller and angling into the batsman, van Zyl presents a straight bat and punches past Elgar, Mahmudullah moves to his right at mid-on and dives over the ball. He should have stopped that

14.3 - Mohammad Shahid to van Zyl, FOUR, edged and four! On a length and on off, van Zyl pushes at it, gets an outside edge that rolls away in the gap between first slip and keeper, both of them dived to try and get to the ball, but the ball evaded them

13.4 - Shakib to van Zyl, FOUR, Shakib continues to drop it short, this time there's enough width on offer as well. van Zyl rocks back and cuts it through the cover region, races away to the fence in a hurry

13.0 - Mohammad Shahid to Elgar, FOUR, great timing from Elgar! This was pitched up just outside off, Elgar comes forward and punch-drives it past the non-striker, mid-off gives chase but the ball beats him to the fence

11.4 - Shakib to Elgar, FOUR, Elgar once again steps out of the crease and whips this tossed up delivery over mid-wicket, runs away to the fence in no time. That was timed superbly

11.1 - Shakib to Elgar, FOUR, Shakib bowls a freebie and Elgar takes full toll of it. It was a full toss outside off, Elgar comes down the track and slogs across the line, sends it through mid-wicket and it hits the fence in no time

6.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Elgar, FOUR, very full and outside off, gets late swing too, Elgar digs it wide of slip, ball bounces well in front of first slip and evades the fielder, lucky runs for Elgar

4.1 - Mustafizur Rahman to van Zyl, FOUR, on the pads again, van Zyl flicks it uppishly through mid-wicket, timed it well and placed it to perfection, no need to run for those
