30.2
Philander to Rohit, no run, good length on the stumps, turned to mid-wicket
30.1
Philander to Rohit, FOUR, he is willing to go down guns blazing, if that is the case. Full on the stumps, Rohit plays an ODI shot, flamingo flick over mid-wicket and nearly all the way, one bounce over the ropes

28.1
Philander to Rohit, no run, good length and outside off, stays low, left alone
26.6
Philander to Rohit, no run, this has bounced extra. From a good length and hitting the glove, on Rohit's defence. He immediately yanks his bottom hand off the handle and softens the blow. The ball drops dead on the leg-side
26.5
Philander to Parthiv Patel, 1 run, stays beside the line and steers it wide of point, calls Rohit through for the single
26.4
Philander to Parthiv Patel, no run, presses forward to this length ball and defends with bat and pad together
26.3
Philander to Parthiv Patel, no run, ooh! Look at that one bounce low, cuts in and leaves Parthiv Patel helpless. Goes through the bat and pad gap, misses off and a good diving one-handed take by de Kock
26.2
Philander to Rohit, 1 run, Rohit gets off the mark. In a nervy fashion. An inside edge onto the pad and it runs behind square, Parthiv Patel calls him through for a quick single and they make it
26.1
Philander to Parthiv Patel, out Pujara Run Out!! 2 runs completed. Pujara is out! Suicidal running again. Can't take on AB. Just can't. He would want to forget this Test in a hurry. Run-out in both innings. "Ultra slow" is the call from Mikey Holding. The third ump taking his time to just confirm the call. There was no need for that. Absolutely bonkers is Pujara. Why did he run for the third, only he will know. Ngidi the first man who chased it and pulled it back and what awareness from AB as well, he tagged along and then fired in a throw on the half-volley to de Kock, who whipped the bails off. Not sure who called for the third and if it was Pujara, then totally wrong - because he was turning blind and running to the danger end. And it is AB. Everything pointing towards disaster. Even a dive isn't enough. And that is a desperate one too. Kettleborough makes sure that the bail is completely off before giving it out. Someone in the Protea camp was frustrated at the delay from the third ump quipping - "this might take a whole day". Gift of a wicket and the first Indian to be dismissed run-out in both innings of a Test. Pujara run out (de Villiers/de Kock) 19(47) [4s-2]
24.6
Philander to Parthiv Patel, byes, 1 run, imagine that going straight on. Nightmarishly low but down leg, de Kock dives to his right and gets a glove to keep it from running away to the fence
24.5
Philander to Parthiv Patel, no run, pushed back to Philander and he turns around to fire the throw back at the stumps. Poor Parthiv Patel is under the wars, yesterday Ngidi hit him and then threatened his head with a throw. Now this. He wears a sorry look on his face
24.4
Philander to Parthiv Patel, no run, kept low after pitching on a good length outside off, Parthiv Patel mistimes the chop to cover
24.3
Philander to Pujara, 1 run, gets forward to this full outswinger, and drives wide of mid-off, takes the easy single on offer
24.2
Philander to Pujara, no run, outswinger on a fuller length, swings from the hand, Pujara watchfully lets it go
24.1
Philander to Pujara, FOUR, that's one of Pujara's scoring shots. Fraction shortish outside off, Pujara uses the width and then dabs it late, through gully and to the unmanned third man fence
10.6
Philander to Pujara, no run, now he's beaten the outside edge with some seam movement. Pujara is defending on fifth-stump here. Isn't quite able to cover the movement

10.4
Philander to Pujara, no run, outswinger left alone

10.2
Philander to Pujara, no run, very full but much outside off, Pujara is still defending these
10.1
Philander to Pujara, no run, gets forward to defend and gets an inside edge on his back pad. Doesn't get the panicky single he wanted to the slip cordon there
8.6
Philander to Pujara, no run, now he's bowling the length. Straight on off and middle, keepin' low, Pujara is able to keep out this one

8.2
Philander to Rahul, 1 run, gimme on leg-stump, shaved down to deep backward square leg
8.1
Philander to Rahul, no run, blocks this full one in front of off-stump
6.6
Philander to Rahul, no run, well, a fortunate grubber for Rahul. That rolls past the off-stump. Dangerously close to the off-stump. Gee, South Africa need just ten of these. Nothing you can do except hope that these aren't straight enough
6.5
Philander to Rahul, no run, good tempting outswinger again but Rahul is watchful now. Leans across and leaves off the front foot
6.4
Philander to Rahul, no run, full outside off, Rahul blocks off the front foot. Reaches out for it
6.3
Philander to Rahul, no run, blocks it from the crease to mid-on
6.2
Philander to Rahul, no run, full outswinger and Rahul almost chases a wide one here. Held himself back at just the last minute. Looked like a plan, with the seam shaped exactly for that - pointed towards slip
6.1
Philander to Rahul, no run, that nemesizing straight line from Philander. Rahul is a little late there but manages to keep it out. A little burst off the pitch as Philander pitches that ball
4.6
Philander to Rahul, no run, extra bounce outside off, Rahul is sucked into playing at that but manages to keep it down. Soft hands, bat swing into the pitch
4.5
Philander to Rahul, no run, blocks out a full ball just outside off
4.4
Philander to Rahul, no run, fullish outside off, Rahul check-defends it with a stride. Outswinger again
4.3
Philander to Rahul, no run, giant front foot stride across his stumps to leave that outswinger
4.2
Philander to Rahul, no run, he's such a good bowler. Has adjusted his lines straight but hasn't got the ball to do something out of the ordinary. Rahul's behind off the back foot
4.1
Philander to Rahul, no run, he's now bowling these outswingers straighter. Starts on off and middle and cramps Rahul's defence. Much better from Philander
2.6
Philander to Rahul, no run, another one. Easy for India at the moment
2.5
Philander to Rahul, no run, outswinger again - stays low, Rahul leaves - but you can tell that these are mere set-ups to the one Philander will bring back in
2.4
Philander to Vijay, 1 run, Philander hears him out maybe. Bowls straight, is wristed out to Rabada at mid-on but he slips. Could have been close
2.3
Philander to Vijay, no run, good bounce on this outswinger, left alone. Does too much
2.2
Philander to Rahul, 1 run, outswinger that's fuller now, and Rahul's used his front foot reach to play at that. Quick single into the covers there
2.1
Philander to Rahul, no run, nice shape on this outswinger but gives away its cards too early; Rahul leaves off the front foot
0.6
Philander to Rahul, no run, gets Rahul into a slightly awkward position here. Skids it on an off-stump line, Rahul wanted to play it into the leg-side but it's hurried onto him, his weight in front. So ends up cramping it out back to Philander, who lets his intentions known with a shadow-throw at the batsman. Hmm..
0.5
Philander to Rahul, no run, better. Starts swinging early, and pitches wide, so Rahul could leave this one
0.4
Philander to Rahul, no run, fullish this time, Rahul is forward and defends. Think he's still playing too far outside off. The stride across helps him this time though
0.3
Philander to Rahul, no run, squared by the away movement but he's deep in the crease, able to watch the ball late and open the bat face to quell it
0.2
Philander to Rahul, no run, draws Rahul across with outswing and beats him. Shaped for the outswinger, goes that way, and Rahul is playing a line that's too wide. He's been guilty of that. Survives
0.1
Philander to Vijay, 1 run, off the mark first ball. Movement for Philander from a line just outside off. Might just be swing. Vijay steers the ball, with the movement, to backward point. Imagine how slow this pitch is!
