WVijay c Elgar b Philander
Philander to Vijay, out Caught by Elgar!! Vijay will be absolutely devastated with this. He prides himself on patience and the ability to see off the new ball, so to get drawn into chasing a full ball outside off on the drive must be so disgusting. There's a little bit of movement for Philander as he floats it out wide, and the edge flies to gully where Elgar makes it look very easy, considering how quickly it was travelling to his left.

4.3
Philander to Vijay, no run, good length ball on off, Vijay hangs back and defends
4.2
Philander to Vijay, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, around the fifth stump line, Vijay lets it go
4.1
Philander to Vijay, no run, left alone outside off
3.64
Steyn to Dhawan, FOUR, goes hard on the ball and squirts it off a thick edge between gully and point. You'll get this with Dhawan, time and again. He wanted to punch it through the covers, but was defeated by the angle. But the edge was relatively safe, as it scooted through the turf
3.3
Steyn to Vijay, no run, good length ball on off, Vijay defends with bat and pad very close together
3.2
Steyn to Vijay, no run, short of length on off, Vijay hops in the crease and defends
3.1
Steyn to Dhawan, 1 run, hangs back and stays leg-side of a good length ball on middle, has to be careful. Manages to defend into the covers for a quick single
2.5
Philander to Vijay, no run, confidently forward to defend this to cover
2.4
Philander to Vijay, no run, Vijay shoulders arms and is struck on the pad. This has hit him outside off, and is curling away further. Oh wait, South Africa have reviewed. Definite error in judgement from de Kock who seemed to have urged Faf to go for it. Yes, ball-tracking confirms that it's hit him well outside off. Wasted review
2.3
Philander to Dhawan, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Dhawan punches it through the covers for one. Didn't have much conviction behind the shot
1.5
Steyn to Vijay, no run, straying down the leg-side, too far for Vijay to connect with the flick
1.4
Steyn to Vijay, no run, wobbly seam ball which shapes away from a good length outside off, Vijay with another leave
1.3
Steyn to Vijay, no run, good length ball swinging away outside off, left alone. The signature curl on the ball from Steyn, love it
1.2
Steyn to Vijay, no run, back of a length, swinging away, left alone
1.1
Steyn to Vijay, no run, right on the money first up. Good length ball swinging away from off, Vijay shuffles across to cover the line of it and defends
0.6
Philander to Dhawan, no run, short of length in line with the stumps, blocked to leg
