Kyle Jamieson to Connor Esterhuizen, 2 runs, dear me, the fielder has hurt himself. Jacobs it is and he's in pain as he hops across. Going off the field with the physio now.

He has eyes on the ball and there's a moment where his foot gets stuck and he twists his right leg. Hopefully it's not too bad
