10.3
Rabada to Rohit, 1 run, dropped! That's gone a mile up in the air as Rohit throws the kitchen sink at this length ball outside off. Sliced it in the air towards backward point. Surely de Zorzi's catch at backward point but he thinks it's Jansen's at gully. The former barely has to move and he tries to reverse-cup it but spills it

8.6
Rabada to Rohit, no run, appeal for caught behind, turned down and South Africa review. Elgar says he didn't hear anything. Seams away with extra bounce, beats Rohit's defensive outside edge. Clear gap between bat and ball, the same has been confirmed by UltraEdge. South Africa burn a review

Nandre Burger to Rohit, FOUR, away-angler outside off, Rohit sees the width and flashes his bat hard. Due to that, the outside edge flies over the slip cordon

0.5
Rabada to Rohit, no run, that's the length! Lands on a good length and rears up sharply off the deck. You can't do much as a batsman there. The ball beats the outside edge to hit his left shoulder. Ouch!
