Rashid Khan to du Plessis, out Caught by Reeza Hendricks!! Brilliant by Reeza. He's plucked out a stunner to dismiss the dangerous Faf du Plessis. Big wicket from Rashid. Flighted delivery on middle and leg, Faf backs away and does not quite get under the length, lofts it towards long-on and the ball seemed to be sailing over, but Reeza times his jump perfectly, holds on but was going over the rope - so he throws the ball up, goes beyond the rope and comes back in to complete the catch. Faf hangs around as the third umpire checks the catch, it is fine and off he goes. du Plessis c Reeza Hendricks b Rashid Khan 44(21) [4s-7 6s-2]

Linde to du Plessis, 1 run, 96ks flatter and sliding in, Faf rocks back and whips it wide of mid-on. It was uppish and the fielder does well to dive to his right and make the stop, he slipped as he was about to throw and that allowed Faf to make his crease comfortably
