Anrich Nortje 0-21(4 ov)
18.6
Nortje to Morgan, FOUR, ah, so cruel on Nortje who has bowled a fine over which is spoilt by an outside edge for four. Back of a length around off, sharply onto Morgan who's cramped as he looks to cut through point. The edge comes to his rescue and beats de Kock
18.5
Nortje to Sam Curran, leg byes, 1 run, full on leg, Curran's beaten for pace and hit on the pad. Will go through for a leg-bye
18.4
Nortje to Sam Curran, no run, Curran takes his eyes off and swings in hope, but Nortje's short ball has whistled past him
18.3
Nortje to Morgan, 1 run, back of a length on off, probably a cutter, Morgan steers wide of point
18.2
Nortje to Sam Curran, 1 run, back of a length across off, taps it wide of cover
18.1
Nortje to Morgan, 1 run, full toss outside off, Morgan slashes hard and gets a thick edge to third man
15.6
Nortje to Morgan, no run, 146kph, just a hint of reverse maybe as it tails away outside off. Morgan drives off the toe-end to extra cover. Length was right up from Nortje
15.5
Nortje to Malan, 1 run, back of a length across off, dabs to third man
15.4
Nortje to Malan, FOUR, pace off hasn't worked either. Slower one into the pitch, just above the waist for Malan who pulls hard over midwicket. Malan starting to compensate for his slow start
15.3
Nortje to Malan, FOUR, maybe has to rethink his strategy here. We've seen cutters working well. But Nortje pitches it up at 146kph and Malan smokes him through extra cover
15.2
Nortje to Morgan, 1 run, gives pace on the ball again, full around off. Morgan drills it on the bounce to long-on. Couldn't quite get under it due to the length that was quite full
15.1
Nortje to Morgan, no run, back of a length delivery across off, 140kph, beats Morgan on the edge as he tries to angle it to third man
4.6
Nortje to Malan, leg byes, 1 run, he's in the wars here. Now gets hit around the groin. Sits on his haunches to gather his breath after running across to the other end
4.5
Nortje to Malan, no run, oh dear! A thunderbolt at 150kph that smashes Malan right on the chest. Tries to take evasive action against the short ball but Nortje's just too quick
4.4
Nortje to Malan, no run, full and fast, right in the blockhole. Malan digs it out
4.3
Nortje to Malan, no run, straight from Nortje, Malan works into the leg-side
4.2
Nortje to Buttler, 1 run, worked off the pads through square leg
4.1
Nortje to Malan, 1 run, back of a length, Malan works it wide of midwicket
2.6
Nortje to Roy, no run, short of length, fended down
2.5
Nortje to Buttler, 1 run, dropped by Rabada! Lets down his fellow quick who is setting the speedometer on fire. Over 148kph, short ball that is too quick for Buttler as he tries to pull. Flaps it wide of mid-on where Rabada runs to his right. Got there comfortably with the dive, got both hands to it but shells it
2.4
Nortje to Buttler, no run, off-pace ball, just 124kph which is quite a drop, Buttler watchfully pushes to mid-off
2.3
Nortje to Roy, 1 run, 149kph, another low full toss from Nortje. This one's outside off and Roy tentatively pushes wide of cover-point
2.2
Nortje to Roy, no run, pitched up around off, pushed back straight by Roy
2.1
Nortje to Roy, no run, Roy hobbles across after getting hit flush on the pad by a full toss as Nortje beats him for pace. Given out leg-before by the umpire. This is going down leg though and Roy is right to review. He is actually hit on the back leg, right on the ankle, which explains the anguish. Clearly going down leg with the angle
