Kagiso Rabada to Tim Seifert, out Bowled!! Stays low, jags in and crashes into middle and leg! Too little too late from Rabada. The damage is done. This is bashed into the pitch on a good length and there's some variable bounce. Seifert looks to slog expecting it to bounce normally, but it stays low while also cutting in. Misses completely.

Eventually SA lose a review
