10.6
Mujeeb to Bavuma, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Mujeeb breaks the partnership. Valiant effort from Bavuma to walk out to bat even though he's injured and limping. This was short and spinning in, Bavuma rocks back and pulls but cannot clear the long square boundaries, Gurbaz settles near deep mid-wicket and takes it safely. He struck it well but the side boundaries are pretty big here. Bavuma c Gurbaz b Mujeeb 23(28) [4s-3]
