Rabada 3-25(7.1 ov)
41.1
Rabada to de Grandhomme, out Caught by de Kock!! Big heave from de Grandhomme; de Kock thinks there's an edge there. He's convinced and already celebrating. Nothing from the umpire though. They go for the review. There was a big noise. Oh yes, RTS confirms the same. The decision will be overturned. de Grandhomme c de Kock b Rabada 32(48) [4s-1 6s-1]

24.4
Rabada to de Grandhomme, no run, oh, Rabada has put down a sharp chance. Very full delivery, but Grandhomme was expecting a bumper. Hence, was staying back in the crease. He pushes it back towards Rabada rather tamely, Rabada looks to take it with his left-hand, but it pops out. However, he still shows good reflexes to take it on the rebound, but can't latch onto it. Maybe Rabada anticipated the ball to come to him much quicker?

Rabada to Neesham, out Caught by Duminy!! Now, that was a cracker of a short delivery from Rabada. He bent his back and bowled the shortish delivery with good wheels, Neesham was late on the pull on a quick pitch and eked out a top-edge onto the helmet, with Duminy pouching the catch at backward point. Original decision was not out. However, South Africa took a review and replays confirmed that there was a mark on the bat, then it took the helmet before the fielder grabbed the catch.
