30.1
Rabada to Mpofu, out Caught by Bavuma!! Zimbabwe have been knocked over for 68. Think they'll have to bat again as they have conceded a huge trail of 241. It's banged short on off, Mpfou hangs his bat and ends up splicing it up to the ever-energetic Temba Bavuma. It was an easy catch but Bavuma at gully made it look difficult. Mpofu c Bavuma b Rabada 0(4)

Rabada to Cremer, out Caught by de Villiers!! Here's the first wicket of the match for Kagiso. Sticks to his line and reaps benefits out of it.

AB de Villiers take an easy catch to send the opposition skipper back to the pavilion. Proteas need only two more to clean up the tail. Cremer c de Villiers b Rabada 2(10)
