- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 And Nortje's late introduction has paid off immediately! Was short and outside off, Tector goes for a big swing through the line. Faf du Plessis almost overruns this at mid-off, but then gobbles it up with ease in the follow through 35/18.4 What a way to get out! Nortje has speared this in quite short, Conway is rushed into this pull shot because of Nortje's pace. The ball flies off his blade and lands right in the hands of Moondra, lying in wait near deep fine leg. Made to look ordinary because of Nortje's extra pace there tbh 64/216.6 A five-for for Nortje and how well has he bowled today! Exhibition of pure fast bowling. Digs this into the surface and angles it into Manenti. He backs away, arches back and plays the ramp. Times it pretty well, too, so well done on that. Only, du Plesses had positioned the deep third fielder quite fine. Moondra had to rush a few steps to his left and take it calmly, which he does 130/68.5 Wharraspell, he's ripped out another wicket here! Was speared in quite full and swings away from Tucker, who does his best to tuck it away from near his stumps. But the ball just gathers the outside edge off his drive and the ball flies to the keeper. Nortje on a well-deserved hat-trick here 64/314.5 Sliced to short third! Wiese makes a heart sign with his hands, presumably towards the dugout. Bowls this fast and full, angles it away outside off. Chapman backs away again to go over covers but only gets a thick edge straight to van der Merwe, who did not have to move an inch 118/416.3 Castled! Fire triumphs power. Spears in a length ball on middle. Maxwell stays deep in the crease, all in readiness to pump this over the on side. He misses this completely, loses his shape and sees the woodwork shattered. Looked like he set himself up for the short ball but got a length ball in turn. 129/519.5 Thumped! Or not! Bumper, off-pace, outside off. Jordan plays the forehand shot. Ends up skying it high and down van der Merwe's throat at long-on 155/819.1 Stunning catch! Du Plessis gets young by each day of what!!! It should have been a wide ball but instead, Wiese gets a wicket. Short and very wide outside off, Adair throws his bat at it and gets a top edge. It flies over extra cover. Du Plessis runs backwards, and then turns to dive and pouch that. Ufff! Crazy stuff from the Dockers captain 150/719.6 Back of a length ball outside off. Pulled to deep midwicket! A direct hit at the striker's end and Humphreys is well short on the second run.
