Excellently executed! An attempted yorker, tailing just a bit in from outside off. Nandre Burger swings across the line and misses. That almost, almost grazed the off pole on the way to the keeper.
Nandre Burger comes out to bat next.
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Slower one into the pitch. Short and around the off stump. Corbin Bosch stands tall to flat-bat it over long on, but gets through his shot a bit early, probably missing to read the pace off the delivery. He ends up winding it straight down the throat of Faheem Ashraf, stationed at long on. A simple catch for him.

FOUR! NICE SHOT! Full and outside off, with pace taken off. Corbin Bosch prods forward and drives it to beat the diving cover fielder to his left. The deep cover gets across to his right and even puts in a dive but fails to stop the ball from going over the ropes.

Short of a good length, on the stumps. Lizaad pulls it behind square on the leg side and they rush back for a couple of runs. The throw is flat and towards the keeper. Usman Khan collects it at waist height and whips the bails off, but a timely dive from Lizaad saves him.
Lizaad Williams walks in next to bat.
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! You miss, I hit, says Naseem. After bowling a couple of cutters, Naseem goes pace on this time around. Lands it full and around the middle and the leg stump. George Linde clears the front foot and attempts to whip it over the leg side, but misses. The ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad and smashes into the stumps behind. George Linde departs after a crucial knock of 36 (22) and South Africa are 186/7.
