Shadab Khan to van der Dussen, no run, wristy on-knock, back down the pitch and Shadab is quick to get across and clean up
29.5
Shadab Khan to Amla, 1 run, ambition over extra cover. Doesn't get close enough, but still swings through the line, merely chipping in in the end off the toe-end. Luckily for him he hasn't over-hit it, which helps in it falling short of the man out here at the extra cover fence

25.6
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, out Caught by Hafeez!! One risk too many, one sweep too many. Shadab had given Faf a real workout thus far, especially when he was looking to defend. So he realizes there's no point wasting any more time and looks to repeat his earlier sweep's heroics. But Shadab dishes out a lot of heart in flighting it up again, a touch outside off in making Faf reach out as well and getting some extra bounce off the surface to take the top-edge, and Hafeez at deep square leg does superbly to move across to his right and judge the running catch really well. du Plessis c Hafeez b Shadab Khan 57(76) [4s-5 6s-1]
25.5
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, FOUR, calculates the risk, reaps the dividends. Very Mutual Funds like this, with Faf knowing there's a deep square leg, but then rolling his wrists on the ball to keep it down all the way as it hurries behind square

Shadab Khan to Amla, 1 run, sliced away off the back foot, behind cover
25.3
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, 3 runs, his own personalized version of the I0$. Sinks again, stays really late and laps it right over his head, the keeper and Amla doesn't mind stretching his hammies a bit in coming back for the third
25.2
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, FOUR, slogs, connects - flat, big. Tossed up generously, which Faf takes on, doesn't mind going against the spin as well in a one-kneed heave into the deep mid-wicket's grass banks -- fifty #30

21.6

21.5
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, no run, presses closer, flicking it away to mid-on
21.4
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, no run, oh yea, certified spin cobra. Drifts into leg, normal. Bites, abnormal. Spins square, very, very abnormal. Nothing Faf can do with this, so he looks to poke, withdraws and looks away

19.1
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, no run, forward, covering the line well, bat-pad stuck

17.5
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, leg byes, 1 run, massive LBW appeal, but the drift Shadab's getting here is so much that it ends up I0$ down leg perhaps with Faf going on the sweep. And missing

17.2

17.1
Shadab Khan to du Plessis, no run, stride, head on ball stuff in defence
