29.5: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, FOUR! Runs for the batter, moral victory for the bowler. A well-disguised slower one, on a back of a length, on off. Ruben Trumpelmann takes a step back in the crease and sets himself up for the pull. He is undone by the slowness of the ball and just hangs his bat out in the end. A top edge is found but the ball sails over the head of the keeper and the short third fielder stands no chance either.

29.4: Kwena Maphaka to JJ Smit, Kwena goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a full toss, on off. Smit slices it off the outer half to deep point for a single.

29.4: Kwena Maphaka to JJ Smit, Wide! Flirting with the tramline on off, on a back of a length. Smit flashes but fails to make any connection. Wide given and Kwena is not happy with the call.

29.3: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, A lot straighter now and fuller as well, on middle and leg. Trumpelmann gets the front leg out of the way and lofts it down to long on for one.

29.2: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, A big swing and a miss! Pushes it across the right-hander, on a back of a length. Trumpelmann leaves nothing in the tank and swings with all his might but can only connect with thin air.

29.2: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, Wide! Kwena goes searching for the yorker but drifts beyond the tramline outside off. 

29.1: Kwena Maphaka to Ruben Trumpelmann, SIX! Ruben Trumpelmann gets in on the six-hitting act now. Kwena Maphaka bangs it into the deck but fails to get it high enough to trouble the tall batter. Ruben stays put and nails the pull well over the deep square leg fence.

28.6: Bjorn Fortuin to JJ Smit, Nails a wide yorker, does Fortuin. JJ fails to reach out.

28.5: Bjorn Fortuin to JJ Smit, SIX! Clean as a whistle. Fired in by Fortuin, right in the slot, on middle. Smit clears the front leg and swings through the line as he wallops it over long on for half a dozen.

28.3: Bjorn Fortuin to JJ Smit, Full and speared in at the pads, swept straight to short fine leg.

28.2: Bjorn Fortuin to JJ Smit, Not in control but safe. Looped up by Bjorn, on off. Smit throws his hands at the ball and it is skewed off the outer half but he manages to clear the inner ring. It drops safely beyond the reach of the two fielders behind point. Two taken.

28.1: Bjorn Fortuin to JJ Smit, SIX! That has gone back a long way. A half-tracker by Fortuin, on middle. Smit rocks back and with a solid base, he smokes it way over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
