11.3 to H Davids, is that the catch of the century!! Davids made room and plays it in the air over cover. That looked like it was going for a boundary, till Neesham runs backward from mid-off and takes this diving full-length towards the boundary. He lands and skids a couple of metres towards the ropes, but stops himself in time. Neesham made it looked so easy...more than half of the 95% of the world would have not counted that as a chance. 81/2

3.1 to RE Levi, caught! tries to hoick it over midwicket, but the ball hits the inside half of the bat and goes tamely straight to square leg. Sorry Shaun. 13/1

18.2 to DA Miller, length ball outside off and Miller again times it sweetly but finds the fielder at the boundary. The fielder didn't have to move an inch. A little cameo comes to an end. 160/3
18.3 to F du Plessis, caught at cover! tries to flick it towards square leg and gets a leading edge that goes as high as the towers. The fielder at cover makes no mistake and Bracewell is on a hat-trick. Faf's amazing innings comes to an end.. 160/4
18.5 to RJ Peterson, caught at point! length ball outside off, Peterson tries to smash it to ..somewhere.. gives it an almighty hoick, the ball takes the top edge and goes high.. very high..and comes down to the fielder at point. 161/5

9.5 to RJ Nicol, caught at long-on! Nicol charges out to a tossed up delivery, but the ball was really slow and he doesn't get his timing right as he tries to scoop it over long-on. It goes straight to the fielder. 76/1

16.6 to BB McCullum, caught at long on! length ball on the middle, McCullum aims his shot at the sight screen, but that hits high on the bat and doesn't get the distance. It goes comfortably to the fielder at long on. 149/2
