Tahir 2-14(10 ov)
40.6
Tahir to Boult, no run, driven to long-on, no single taken
40.5
Tahir to Boult, no run, a reverse-sweep attempt this time. He is able to reach out on the full but under-edges it between the legs
40.4
Tahir to Boult, no run, flat at the stumps, defended
40.3
Tahir to Boult, no run, turns a bit from a length and finds the outside edge. Doesn't carry to Amla at slip
40.2
Tahir to Boult, no run, forward and defended
40.1
Tahir to de Grandhomme, 1 run, bad misjudgement by sweeper cover. This should have been taken. But he lost sight of it at some point. Again, smart bowling from Tahir to fire it wide seeing de Grandhomme give the charge. He evoked a miscue but the fielder couldn't complete the rites
38.6
Tahir to Boult, no run, the ball is well wide of the tramline but because Boult had moved so far across before leaving it alone, the umpire doesn't signal a wide
38.5
Tahir to Boult, no run, lunges out and defends
38.4
Tahir to Boult, no run, tossed up and spinning away from off, pushed towards the off-side
38.3
Tahir to Boult, no run, flighted and well outside off, driven back at the bowler
38.2
Tahir to Jeetan Patel, out Lbw!! That looked out. Patel was right back in the crease, playing across the line of a slider and failing to make contact. Height is the only issue here but with Patel so far back, the ball doesn't have a lot of distance to travel. Oh dear! Ball-tracking shows the impact to be outside off. Both batsmen had even spent a fair amount of time contemplating a review. But decided against it. Perhaps the no. 11 has greater use for it. Jeetan Patel lbw b Tahir 0(5)
38.1
Tahir to de Grandhomme, 1 run, drifts it in on middle and leg, de Grandhomme nudges it to the right of short mid-wicket
36.6
Tahir to Jeetan Patel, no run, sharp short ball which bounces over Patel's attempted pull
36.5
Tahir to de Grandhomme, 1 run, driven with the turn through to sweeper cover
36.4
Tahir to de Grandhomme, no run, nudges the googly to short mid-wicket
36.3
Tahir to Southee, out Caught&Bowled!! Tahir outsmarts Southee. He cleverly tosses the ball wide of off, perhaps expecting Southee to choose the aggressive route. Southee is left to reach out for the ball as he tries the slog-sweep. All he does is lob it in the air off a thick top-edge. Easy enough for Tahir. His first wicket of the afternoon. Southee c and b Tahir 6(7) [6s-1]

Tahir to Brownlie, out Williamson Run Out!! Run-out call - but KW is already walking. He's well short of his ground - by a long way as well. That's a poor poor call from New Zealand, not sure who made the call, but it's always a mighty risk taking on AB and Williamson pays the ultimate penalty. This was pushed in front of mid-wicket and the two batsmen looked for a quick single, AB was quick on the ball, makes a diving stop - picks it up one-handed and releases it towards the keeper. It wasn't the best throw - but de Kock had plenty of time to collect it and whip the bails off. To add to his misfortune, KW's bat got stuck on the ground and he lost it as well, wouldn't have mattered a lot, he was way short when the stumps were broken. Williamson run out (de Villiers/de Kock) 9(16) [4s-1]
