- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 perfect length this time, in the corridor, draws Suryakumar forward, forces an outside with that slight movement and Cloete makes no mistake behind the stumps 7/13.2 middle stumps is out of the ground. It was a fuller delivery in the line of the stumps. Easwaran was looking to flick it towards midwicket and misses it altogether. Once again, India A didn't get the desired start 7/28.4 gone. Full and straight, and Iyer plays all around it, was looking to work it on the leg side, just like Easwaran and loses his middle stump. Was a different release from Frylinck, more like a floater at 110 kph 31/39.2 Rayudu walks. It was length outside off, Rayudu was looking to leave it but couldn't withdraw his bat in time as it came back in and bounced a little more than Rayudu expected. There was a huge appeal but Rayudu doesn't even wait for the umpire's decision 31/423 he hasn't looked confident against the short ball at all, and Siboto gets him with it. Another awkward shot to the bouncer, and this time it goes straight to fine leg, who accepts the dolly 76/616 got 'im! length ball that moved a touch across the batsman, drawing a tentative poke. Another catch for the keeper and India A are in bigger trouble now. 52/534.2 dragged on! Full outside off, and he tries to drive away from his body. The ball jags in and then takes an inside edge onto his middle stump 144/833.2 scorcher at point! Short and wide, and the excellent cut shot goes straight to the fielder. Chahar can't believe it as the South Africans celebrate hard! Pieter Malan jumped at point, stuck his right hand up, and the ball stayed in his hand. Reminiscent of Jonty Rhodes. Big breakthrough for the South Africans 140/735.3 brilliant catch by the bowler. Mavi tried to go big again, but only got a top edge that was looping back towards Paterson, who moved to his left on his follow-through and dived to pluck the ball from the ground. 149/937.3 Taken in the slips this time, and Paterson gets a deserved five-for.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 and gone, with another bouncer, this one was quicker and straighter, Cloete went for the pull, only to edge behind where Samson accepted it gleefully 37/127.2 played on! Gets the breakthrough with his new spell. Length ball angling away from the batsman, as he tried to steer this down to third man. The ball hits the inside of Malan's bat, and then chops onto his middle stump. Khaleel is ecstatic! 103/418.5 misses the sweep again and is struck much more in line this time. He's been given out. Unlucky though, because the ball had clearly pitched outside leg 77/224 the run strangulation does the trick. Zondo stayed on the backfoot to cut, but could only slash it straight to point where Rayudu held on. 86/329.5 knee-high full toss on off stump, but the batsman backs away and slaps this onto the off side. It's been sliced really, and the man at deep point makes no mistake in getting under it. ,b>The curse of Nelson strikes! 111/535.2 soft dismissal. length ball and he turned it straight to square leg. South Africa's qualifications hopes are precarious once again. 141/6Extras3 (b 1, w 2)TOTAL159/6 (37.4 Overs, RR: 4.22)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Gihahn Cloete, 7.4 ov), 2-77 (Sarel Erwee, 18.5 ov), 3-86 (Khaya Zondo, 23.6 ov), 4-103 (Pieter Malan, 27.2 ov), 5-111 (Dane Paterson, 29.5 ov), 6-141 (Senuran Muthusamy, 35.2 ov)
