Bowls a length ball, Phehlukwayo looks to go over mid-off, doesn't get the power behind it and Reeza Hendricks makes no mistake at mid-off 185/4Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL198/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.9)Fall of wickets: 1-99 (Quinton de Kock, 9.1 ov), 2-166 (Farhaan Behardien, 16.4 ov), 3-185 (Janneman Malan, 17.5 ov), 4-185 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 17.6 ov), 5-185 (Asif Ali, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Steyn strikes again, his second wicket of the night. Was a bouncer, Rickelton went for the pull but hits it straight to the fine leg, an easy catch for Nortje 32/30.5 length ball around off and angling back in, beats the bat to rap the batsman on the pads, a huge appeal and given. Replays, however, show it was missing leg 5/11.2 and Steyn too strikes in his first over, was short and wide and van der Dussen looked to crave it over point, doesn't get it right and sends it right down the third man's throat 6/210.1 caught at mid-off. A touch fuller outside off, Vilas slaps it straight towards the fielder who takes a low catch forward. Behardien, the fielder is confident but Vilas isn't convinced. Replays show clearly that he got his fingers under the ball, wasn't that easy, was dying on him 81/58.3 length ball, van Biljon backs away but Phehlukwayo follows him, allows him no room at all, beats the bat and hits the stump 73/415.5 length ball, Christian played back and misses, gets rapped the back thigh, an appeal for lbw and given after some thinking. Christian was deep in his crease but was it going over the stumps? Replays confirm it was going over 130/812.2 chopped on! Length outside off, Harmer was in two minds, whether to cut or pull, ends up playing a half-cut, and chopping it back on the off stick, Phehlukwayo brings out the muted celebration 95/615 caught at cover-point. Short of length, cramping Rabada for room who goes ahead with the pull, Verreynne pouches the top-edge 126/717.3 beaten in the flight this time, Hendricks came down the track and Linde just shortened his length, a big heave from the batsmen but finds only thin air, de Kock does the rest 136/917.4 tossed up outside off, Leie aims for the trees, drags his foot out in the effort, and misses, another stumping for de Kock and that's the game 136/10Extras17 (b 6, lb 8, w 3)TOTAL136 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 7.69)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Reeza Hendricks, 0.5 ov), 2-6 (Rassie van der Dussen, 1.2 ov), 3-32 (Ryan Rickelton, 3.5 ov), 4-73 (Pite van Biljon, 8.3 ov), 5-81 (Dane Vilas, 10.1 ov), 6-95 (Simon Harmer, 12.2 ov), 7-126 (Kagiso Rabada, 14.6 ov), 8-130 (Dan Christian, 15.5 ov), 9-136 (Beuran Hendricks, 17.3 ov), 10-136 (Eddie Leie, 17.4 ov)
