- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 bowled 'im. Hendricks comes down the track but Allen shortens his length, forcing the batter to defend it. But the ball sneaks in through the gap between bat and pad and hits the off stump. Allen is joyous and celebrates with a dance move 33/16.4 a soft dismissal. Fuller on the stumps and de Kock has hit it straight to mid-on. Holder slides to his right and pouches it. de Kock was looking to chip it over Holder but the ball hit the bottom part of the bat and hence, he could't get the desired elevation 61/211.1 goes for the sweep, but finds deep square leg. Bavuma goes down on his back knee to this full ball on middle and off, and sends that sailing to the fielder as Allen strikes again. Another set batter gone, and South Africa must rebuild again 95/314.4 makes room, and Allen, who replaced Sinclair at fine leg, takes this well. Slower ball dug into the pitch and bowled on a short of a length, with Klaasen stepping on to the leg side to try and pull but gets it pretty high off the bat 112/418.2 tries to crunch it, but it goes flat to long-off. Scrambled seam on a full length and a bit outside off, Miller swings his bat slightly away from his body but perhaps times it to well. Straight to Pollard, who couldn't have asked for anything better at the moment 140/518.3 sliced to cover, and Bravo on a hat-trick. Another slower ball bowled full and wide of off, and Sinclair at point turns back and runs to cover to take a good catch. Linde went for the loft over cover, but only gets the lower part of the bat 140/6Extras6 (b 1, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Reeza Hendricks, 3.4 ov), 2-61 (Quinton de Kock, 6.4 ov), 3-95 (Temba Bavuma, 11.1 ov), 4-112 (Heinrich Klaasen, 14.4 ov), 5-140 (David Miller, 18.2 ov), 6-140 (George Linde, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7 Fletcher's run out. Backs away but Shamsi follows him. Goes for the sweep but misses as the ball spins away from him. Lewis calls him for a run but Fletcher is slow to take off. Ngidi nails the direct hit at the bowler's end. They are checking upstairs and Fletcher is short of his ground 85/111.5 sliced off the bottom of the bat and Miller takes a good catch at long-off. He nearly goes down on his back knee to try and dispatch that over the bowler's head, who pitched it full on middle and off. But it was perhaps too full to play that lofted shot. An excellent innings comes to an end 124/2Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL161/2 (15 Overs, RR: 10.73)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Andre Fletcher, 7 ov), 2-124 (Evin Lewis, 11.5 ov)
