47.6
Young to Ngidi, no run, yorker on off, Ngidi keeps it out
47.5
Young to Fortuin, 1 run, back of a length at the stumps, Fortuin hangs back and clips it to long-on
47.4
Young to Fortuin, FOUR, nicely pulled away for the second boundary of the over! Short of length delivery slanted into the body, Fortuin gets on top of it and whacks it behind square. No chance for the fielder this time
47.3
Young to Fortuin, no run, swing and a miss from Fortuin as this yorker sneaks right through! Looked like he was through the shot early and beaten by the lack of pace. Was a whisker away from crashing into leg stump
47.2
Young to Fortuin, FOUR, misfield and four! Tector puts his hand up in apology after making the error. Short of length into the body, Fortuin pulls it sweetly through midwicket but it should've been cut off in the deep. But it sneaks through Tector as he runs across to his left
47.1
Young to Fortuin, 2 runs, full outside off, Fortuin drives crisply through point and charges back for two

Young to Williams, out Caught by Tector at deep mid-wicket!! Holes out in the deep! Slower off-cutter dug in on a short of length, Williams pulls it in the air but doesn't have enough distance as Tector takes a simple catch at the deep midwicket boundary. These slower balls are working a treat for Ireland. Williams c Tector b Young 13(11) [4s-2]
44.2
Young to Williams, no run, slower one on middle, back of a length, Williams blocks from the crease
44.1
Young to Williams, FOUR, Williams gloves this down the leg-side but it's just out of the keeper's reach. Short of length from over the wicket, really awkward line for Williams around his right arm-pit and he tries tucking it away. But he's never in control as it climbs on him

Young to Wiaan Mulder, out Caught by Tector at deep mid-wicket!! The slide continues for South Africa. From 191/3, they're now 212/7 and in danger of getting bowled out as the last recognised batsman departs. Short of length around off, pace off delivery, Mulder looks to pull but is through the shot early. He miscues it in the air and Tector completes a good catch running in from the square leg boundary. Wiaan Mulder c Tector b Young 11(18) [4s-1]
