- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 he's gone! Holes out to long on. Skips down the wicket to deposit another six over the bowler's head, but the bat's face turned in his hand, and that's the reason behind his demise. Massive wicket 42/31 length ball outside leg, and Delport looks to pull. But he's not through his shot fully, and the checked-shot means he holes out at deep midwicket. Big early wicket 5/13.5 full outside off, but the ball holds it's line. He skips down the ground to lift the ball over the bowler, but the ball goes past his outside edge. Easy peasy for Siddiq the keeper 34/212 is that out?! Looks like it! Full on off, and he skips down the ground to slog. Toe-ends the shot, and plenty of air-time behind that shot. Two fielders congregating at long-off, and Christian first takes the catch near the boundary, before scooping this to his team-mate Vince who was around to cover up 75/59.1 through him! Full on middle, and Talat takes a big stride forward to whip towards the leg side. Ball goes through his shot, and crashes straight into middle stump 62/412.5 easy dolly! Back of a length on off, and he tries to pull. Slices the shot, and Irfan runs to his left to complete a soft dismissal 76/615.2 nothing loose about this one! Christian's riposte is to dig this one in, Asif gloving his attempted pull and Siddiq diving to hold an aerial catch down the leg side 104/814.4 bowled off the pad! Excellent arm ball from Nauman, the drift and accuracy doing for Shadab as he hangs back and whips across the line, the ball bouncing off his pad and crashing into the stumps 96/715.3 plumb! Christian didn't even bother turning around on this appeal, so clear was the dismissal. Rumman's feet go nowhere, the ball seams in and he's trapped right in front. And Christian's on a hat-trick 104/917.4 taken at midwicket! Back of a length on middle, and the attempted pull finds the fielder.
