Ottneil Baartman
3-0-20-2
Ottneil Baartman to Josh Clarkson, FOUR - nicely done! Short of length around off, Clarkson does not try to go hard, allows the ball to come and opens the bat face, uses the pace of Baartman and guides it behind square on the off-side - splitting backward point and short third perfectly

Ottneil Baartman to Bevon Jacobs, out Caught by Dian Forrester!! Is that the game? Jacobs was looking dangerous. But Baartman comes back and sends him packing.

Keshav Maharaj to James Neesham, 2 runs - chance and not taken. Tough one and Coetzee does not even get a finger to it.

Keshav Maharaj
2-0-15-1
Keshav Maharaj to Bevon Jacobs, SIX - shot! Jacobs has a big reputation of being a power-hitter. He gets this away nonchalantly. Flighted delivery, not quite in the arc but Jacobs uses his long reach and lofts straight down the ground. The power on the shot takes it all the way..

New Zealand in big trouble now. Nick Kelly b Keshav Maharaj 14(18) [4s-1]
Keshav Maharaj to Nick Kelly, FOUR - boundary after ages. Much needed one for Kelly. Fraction short and around leg, Kelly makes room and nails the pull flat towards deep mid-wicket, the ball bounces in front of the fielder and beats him

Keshav Maharaj to Bevon Jacobs, no run - tossed up on off, Jacobs pushes it back to Maharaj
Keshav Maharaj to Tim Robinson, out Tim Robinson Run Out!! 1 run completed. That's what pressure does! It had been 30 balls since the last boundary. The asking rate was over 11. The pair had to get on with it. They attempted a suicidal second run and Robinson pays the price. Floated up and Robinson's eyes light up - he goes for the big shot and ends up slicing it over cover. The ball lands beyond the 30-yard circle and Robinson decides to go back for the second. Smith swoops down from sweeper cover and sends in a flat throw to the striker's end, Connor Esterhuizen does the rest and even a full stretch dive from Robinson does not save him. Tim Robinson run out (Jason Smith/Connor Esterhuizen) 25(20) [4s-1]
