Lasith Embuldeniya 0-26(5.3 ov)
52.3
Lasith Embuldeniya to Rabada, no run, he's dropped it! More injury to insult, as he tosses it up, Rabada gets forward and whip-drives it back to the bowler, who drops the catch, and there's some serious damage to the right thumb! I see scarlet everywhere! He's almost in tears as he's taken off the field by the physio...
52.2
Lasith Embuldeniya to Rabada, no run, tossed up on middle and leg, a frontfoot nudge towards mid-on

Lasith Embuldeniya to de Kock, 1 run, tossed up, turning in from a full length, reverse-swept against the turn to third man for a single

Lasith Embuldeniya to Rabada, no run, flatter one and fuller too, just outside off-stump, Rabada lunges forward and connects with the defence this time
50.5
Lasith Embuldeniya to Rabada, no run, turns it back in from over the wicket, flighted delivery, Rabada gets forward to defend, past his inside edge, goes through his defence, and a kitten's whisker away from the stumps into the 'keeper's gloves. Loads of spin, and an appeal for LBW, but Ball-tracking shows it was missing leg-stump.

24.6
Lasith Embuldeniya to du Plessis, FOUR, he was trying to do this since a while and finally manages to place it right into the gap. On the previous two occasions in the over, he played the short delivery straight to the fielder at short cover, not this time around though. Transfers his weight on to the back foot and puts it away the fence, beating short cover and sweeper cover in the process

22.5
