89.5

89.4
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, drives it with the spin and towards cover for a run
89.2
de Silva to du Plessis, 2 runs, turned away into the on-side for a couple
89.1
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, skips down the track and then nudges it away into the on-side towards long-on
88.4
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, full and slow, on the pads, de Kock moves ahead and nurdles it away behind square for a run
88.2
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, floated up and on the sticks, de Kock knocks it behind square for a run
87.2
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, shortish and on the off-pole, de Kock steers back to cut it away for a single towards sweeper cover
86.5
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, push-driven into the off-side off a good length delivery just around off
86.4
Chameera to du Plessis, 2 runs, the partnership between du Plessis and de Kock is now 100. That was tonked! Short delivery and du Plessis got up on his toes to slam it. The man at cover got a hand on it and the ricochet off his hands earns them a couple
86.3
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, driven again! The skipper leans into the drive and fails to beat the man at mid-off
86.2
Chameera to de Kock, 1 run, drives! And good fielding from the man at mid-off ensures it is only a run
85.6
Lakmal to de Kock, 2 runs, chops it away into the off-side past the man at cover. That was wide again and de Kock had no qualms in reaching out for that
84.5
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, that darts in! And that too late. du Plessis had preempted the leave but then had to scurry his back more across the off-pole as the ball nibbled in off the surface
84.4
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, fuller length delivery outside off and du Plessis shoulders arms
84.3
4
Chameera to du Plessis, FOUR, that has been swatted away. Lot of bottom hand in that stroke as he hit on top of the bounce. That was just outside off and du Plessis was still happy to force it away. The forceful jab of the hands ensured the ball had enough to beat the man at cover
84.2
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, dabbed! Straight to the man at gully. It was shortish outside off and du Plessis waited on it before plying the guide
84.1
Chameera to de Kock, 1 run, turned away onto the on-side and they get a run
83.5
Lakmal to de Kock, 1 run, moves across his sticks and looks to cut it away. Gets too close to the ball and bunts it down with a jabbed-cut to get a run. The ball pinged the inside part of the bat
82.5
Chameera to de Kock, 1 run, tapped into the off-side and they race through for a run. The man at point came charging in and almost collides with du Plessis as he was haring for his base
82.1
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, that nips in a tad, du Plessis blocks it down with a dead bat into the turf
82.1
Chameera to de Kock, no ball, 1 run, clipped to mid-wicket as the ball was full on the sticks. The umpire calls it a no-ball, marginal call
81.5
Lakmal to de Kock, 1 run, another delivery ending up a tad too straight for his liking, tucked away off the pads behind square
81.3
Lakmal to du Plessis, no run, goes fuller and with a lovely shape generated in swinging across, Faf admires it all the way
81.2
Lakmal to de Kock, leg byes, 1 run, gets it a tad straight now with the nip coming in, Quinton attempts his famed tuck, once again without much of pace for the ball to come on, finds himself early and wears it on his thighs
80.5
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, on the wider side once again, Faf attempts to walk towards the line of the delivery and hoists his bat
80.4
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, on a good length and tweaking away ever so gently after pitching, a neat line up to stand tall and cover the sticks and leaves it alone
80.3
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, decent curl once again moving away across the right hander, Faf contemplates going after it with a drive, pulls out late
80.2
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, and that's what the new ball does for you. Away movement rightaway and Faf chases a widish delivery with the swing taking it the other way. A loose waft is all he manages, looking pretty ugly
80.1
Chameera to de Kock, 1 run, on the hips and runs off the first delivery, off the tuck to mid-on
79.1
Lakmal to de Kock, 1 run, generous width to start off with, stabbed away through point
78.5
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, jumps down once again, and the Thor like hammer to drill it down to mid-wicket
78.3
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, gets well outside off, waits for the ball to come to him and merely puts it down to long-on with the wristy knock
77.6
Lakmal to du Plessis, 1 run, triggers across to cover the sticks and slaps it away in the form of a dab to deep point
77.5
Lakmal to du Plessis, no run, fullish outside off, no shot offered
77.4
Lakmal to de Kock, 1 run, back to the shorter side, enough width for the cut to be slashed square of the wicket. There is protection, of course with no body near the bat to be seen
77.2
Lakmal to du Plessis, no run, dies by the time it gets to the keeper. On the wider side and Faf lets it go by
77.1
Lakmal to de Kock, 1 run, a gentle short one sitting up nicely for the pull across the line
76.4
de Silva to de Kock, 3 runs, goes through the other side now. An on-sided punch, classy. But this time the dive put in by the fielder keeps it down to three
75.6
Herath to de Kock, no run, squeezed back to the bowler
75.2
Herath to du Plessis, no run, treks deep but misses the tuck for a change. The quicker delivery but going down though
75.1
Herath to du Plessis, no run, pushed to short mid-wicket
74.6
de Silva to du Plessis, 1 run, paddles, very fine, there is nobody out there to keep it out at short fine leg
74.5
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, flicked away to mid-wicket
73.5
Herath to du Plessis, no run, another angle batted drive but a lot squarer this time. Doesn't matter, the fielder is found to perfection
73.4
Herath to du Plessis, no run, to the pitch of the delivery and driven away to cover
73.3
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, forward on the dance to push at the delivery and the drift inwards ensures that he gets a thick inside edge that runs down to backward square leg
73.1
Herath to du Plessis, no run, stabbed away to cover where the fielder dives to his left to cut it off
72.6
de Silva to du Plessis, 1 run, uses the feet and the lovely on-drive to long-on
72.5
de Silva to du Plessis, 4 runs, they go upstairs. For a run-out appeal. But the ball in the meantime - as the fielders appeal - runs away into the fence. Faf uses his feet and knocks it to short mid-wicket, who gets a palm on it to rebound it back to the bowler, who has an unwanted chuck at the striker's end. Faf was well in. Free runs granted once again
72.4
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, another leading edge found as he attempts to turn it away into the on-side. To cover point and finds the gap for the single
71.5
Herath to du Plessis, no run, punched away once again, and the fielder too is found at extra cover to perfection
71.4
Herath to du Plessis, no run, a stonewalled defence from the crease to kill it on the pitch
71.3
Herath to du Plessis, no run, finds extra cover once again with his punch, this time from the crease with the feet staying firmly in their earlier position
71.2
Herath to du Plessis, no run, firmly punched with a good use of the feet. To extra cover
71.1
Herath to du Plessis, 2 runs, opens the bat face and uses whatever little width there is on offer to steer it through gully. Gets back in for the second by the time the mopping up is done
70.6
de Silva to du Plessis, 1 run, a slider onto the pads once again, neatly clipped away. Getting all too easy am afraid
70.5
de Silva to du Plessis, no run, a nudge to short leg and a dive from him to cut it off
70.4
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, clears the front leg, makes room and goes inside-out all along the carpet to long-off. Takes his side to 300
70.2
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, wristy whip off the back foot through mid-wicket
69.2
Herath to du Plessis, no run, a quicker one on middle, punched off the back foot in defence
69.1
Herath to de Kock, 1 run, drifting onto the boots once again, all too easy for Quinton to milk it to mid-wicket
68.5
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, slapped away once again with his elegant drives, just a single through the covers. Finding the fielder in the deep to perfection
68.3
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, reaches out with a sunk drive on a knee and executes it off the full swing of the bat. A crispy drive and an unfair single. Deserved much more
68.1
de Silva to du Plessis, no run, glides deep inside and tucks it past short leg
67.6
4
Herath to de Kock, byes, FOUR, a fluffed stumping opportunity now. A troubled stay of de Kock almost culminates into a desperate show of aggression. Does it with a dance down the track and misses all ends up with the sharp turn coming inwards. The keeper misses the line as well
67.2
Herath to du Plessis, no run, nice guile outside off, Faf stretches and reaches out with the slappy drive, just not the connection he would have liked
67.1
Herath to du Plessis, no run, forward and solidly behind in defence
66.6
4
de Silva to de Kock, FOUR, a half tracker and de Kock responds in kind. Swivels on his back foot and swats it into the cow corner boundary
66.1
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, a slide deep inside the crease and punches it to sweeper
64.5
de Silva to de Kock, 1 run, makes room and pushes it all along the ground to sweeper cover
64.2
de Silva to Bavuma, 1 run, another angle batted whip, and nicely in the gap around square leg
62.6
de Silva to Bavuma, no run, closes the bat face a touch early in looking to nudge it away. Gets a leading edge that goes to ground in the vacant areas
62.2
de Silva to Duminy, 1 run, on the fullish side and asking for the drive. Duminy responds with a pleasing push down to long-off
61.6
Herath to Duminy, no run, sharp turn. Perhaps for the first time in the day. Kicks in like one of those lesser harmful cobras and cramps him for room all ends up. Manages to get some wood on it keep it out
61.3
Herath to Duminy, 1 run, keeps giving it the air and the invitation to go over the top. Duminy takes the peaceful route and whips it all along the turf
61.1
Herath to Duminy, 1 run, a gallop to get to the pitch of the delivery and whips it through mid-wicket
60.5
de Silva to Duminy, 1 run, a back footed punch now, through his preferred off-side
60.2
de Silva to Duminy, 1 run, reaches out and feels for the ball outside off and helps it with the turn to knock it down to point
59.6
Chameera to Duminy, no run, gets back to his preferred back of a good length, Duminy responds with a jump and a tuck
59.3
Chameera to du Plessis, no run, on a length just outside off with just the hint of nip inwards. Ignored
59.2
Chameera to du Plessis, 2 runs, short, looking for the nose to give him a smell of the leather. Faf refuses to get sucked in and responds with an across the line pull, all along the ground
59.1
Chameera to Duminy, 1 run, 132.1kph, around the good length area, tapped away into the vacant cover region to get across for a quick single
58.5
de Silva to du Plessis, no run, round the wicket to the right-hander as well and looks to angle it across. Nicely on the bat and dealt with a full faced block
58.4
de Silva to Duminy, 1 run, pulls his length back now, overcompensating in the process, flays the cut down to sweeper cover
