Temba Bavuma 66(116)
71.4
Prabath Jayasuriya to Bavuma, out Bowled!! The ploy has worked. Bavuma cannot believe it. He takes his time before starting the walk back to the pavilion. Tossed up around leg, Bavuma sits down to play the sweep, he misses and the ball goes onto hit the top of leg-stump. There was no deflection or contact, the ball missed everything on its way to the stumps. Once again Bavuma gets himself in and does not convert it into a hundred.

Lahiru Kumara to Bavuma, out Tristan Stubbs Run Out!! 1 run completed. A massive mix-up and Stubbs has been run-out. Complete breakdown in communication between the two batters and it's Stubbs who has to go. A waste of a wicket really. Looked like it was Bavuma's call for the second run, he started and then stopped, that forced Tristan Stubbs to stutter and both then decided to continue. Bavuma watches mid-pitch as his partner scrambled and then dived, but still fell well short. The fielder had a choice at both ends and he threw it to the bowler who flicked the bails off - was short and well outside off and was pulled wide of mid-wicket, there was a second run there and would've been completed if not for the confusion.
