    13.1 Fortuin spins around for an lbw appeal and the finger goes up! Full and slides in from left-arm around, as opposed to turning away. Probably too full for the sweep. Marsh still goes for the shot and is struck on the front pad in line with middle. Did he hit it? Or did he manage to get outside the line by shuffling across. Marsh has reviewed this. Flat line on UltraEdge as ball passes bat. No bat involved for sure. Impact in line and it would have crashed into leg stump. Fortuin stops Marsh on 56 94/2

    8.4 Head drags on and throws his head back in utter disappointment! Just short of a good length and angling away, but closer to off. Head does not have enough space to pull it away over the leg side. He ends up sending a thick inside edge back onto his stumps. Some respite for SA after a rapid opening stand 78/1
    17.1 a corker of a yorker, and Coetzee has Connolly castled. Angling in from around the wicket, right in the blockhole. Connolly fails to get his bat on it and the ball crashes into off stump 118/3
    31.1 Caught brilliantly at point! Peake will have to wait for his maiden fifty! Sharp grab from Fortuin, diving across to his left and taking it with both hands. Fractionally short and angling across off from over the stumps, Peake slashes in the air and falls first ball after drinks. Was there to be cut, but Peake couldn't lift it over the infielder 191/4
    45.5 short of length at the batter. Carey backs away but fails to create enough room and ends up cutting it straight to short third 285/6
    41.3 full around off. Renshaw looks to slog it towards wide long-on but gets a leading edge that skies towards mid-off. Was a slower ball too and I think that resulted in the miscue. Markram settles under it 257/5
    47.4 a short ball. Green goes for the pull but is late on the shot. The ball hits the gloves and lobs behind the stumps for de Kock to take a sitter. Green, meanwhile, has lost his balance and is down on the ground 298/8
    46.4 a length ball around off. Bartlett swings across but misses and the ball nips back in to hit the outer part of off stump 288/7
    48.5 another slower one. Cummins is early into the shot and ends up hitting it towards deep midwicket. Breetzke makes no mistake 314/9

    5.5 this looks plumb and the finger goes up! So plumb that Markram doesn't even bother about a review. Very full from Bartlett, angling in and swings away to smack the back pad in line with middle. Bartlett earns reward for some excellent swing bowling. It would have crashed into middle 30/2
    1.5 What have you done, Quinton? Hip-high short ball on leg stump. Instead of whipping it over deep square leg, de Kock chips it in the air to Starc in the outfield. In the previous game, Markram bagged a duck. Here it's de Kock who is gone for a duck. A bit of good fortunate for Bartlett early doors 4/1

    17.6 a length ball around off, turns away and beats the outside edge as the batter looks to defend. Carey whips the bails off. And the Australians are celebrating. We are going upstairs. The foot was grounded but was any part of it behind the line - that's the question for the third umpire. Nothing behind the line, he says, and that's out 102/3

    21.6 a googly. Stubbs looks to defend on the front foot but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal for lbw and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Stubbs walks off before turning around and deciding to review it. Looks like he was just in time. The only thing that can save him is if it's going down the leg side. It's not, it would have hit leg stump just below the bail 125/4
