End of a fine knock from the South African opener. Hasan Ali, who picked two wickets early in the day, gets the breakthrough again. Replays show that the ball swung away a touch.

Hasan Ali to du Plessis, out Lbw!! Hasan Ali is making things happen and he's got the big wicket of Faf. It's that low bounce doing the damage. Angles in from a good length and clonks Faf on the front pad. He clearly wasn't expecting the ball to keep low and it looked dead real time. Faf opts to review and it's three reds on ball-tracking.
