Keshav Maharaj to Tim Robinson, out Tim Robinson Run Out!! 1 run completed. That's what pressure does! It had been 30 balls since the last boundary. The asking rate was over 11. The pair had to get on with it. They attempted a suicidal second run and Robinson pays the price. Floated up and Robinson's eyes light up, he goes for the big shot and ends up slicing it over cover. The ball lands beyond the 30-yard circle and Robinson decides to go back for the second. Smith swoops down from sweeper cover and sends in a flat throw to the striker's end, Connor Esterhuizen does the rest and even a full stretch dive from Robinson does not save him. Tim Robinson run out (Jason Smith/Connor Esterhuizen) 25(20) [4s-1]
