Khaya Zondo 16(51)

43.3

Robinson to Zondo, out Lbw!! Zondo has been given OUT LBW and he has reviewed. Was clearly late on this nip-backer, is the height an issue? That's the only thing which can save him. Nitin Menon was quick to raise the dreaded finger, no bat and ball-tracking has umpire's call on hitting the stumps, it's just about clipping the top of middle, but will stay with the on-field call. This match is turning and it's turning England's way - another big inswinger and Zondo clearly didn't spot it coming, was shaping for the cut and is caught in no man's position, struck on the back-thigh and he was crouching a tad as well. Zondo lbw b Robinson 16(51) [4s-3]

42.6

Stokes to Zondo, FOUR, lovely, a floaty half-volley from Stokes, a rare bad ball and Zondo puts it away, gets a good stride forward and drives it serenely through the vacant mid-off region

42.5

40.5

Stokes to Zondo, no run, loud shout for a catch at the wicket, but they aren't sure, but decide to review anyway, was a half-leave from Zondo, was looking to get the bat away at the very last moment, did it graze a thin edge on its way to the kepeer. Nothing on UltraEdge and England have burnt all their reviews now. Stokes shortened his length outside off and Zondo made a late call to let it go, was perilously close to the toe-end, but he got his bat out of the way. Root was adamant that his team review that, comes out to nothing
