Avishka Fernando 30(29)
9.5
Pretorius to Avishka Fernando, out Caught by du Plessis!! Flatters only to deceive, this lad. Has been the same story in his last 2 innings. He just got a boundary off the previous ball and still tries to pull off something out of the box against this delivery. Fails to pick the slower ball and blindly swings his bat hoping to clear mid-on, wasn't to be; it loops up high off the toe-end and Faf settles under it with a tumbling catch.
