OUT! CAUGHT! WOW! That is a stunning catch by Aiden Markram at wide long on. South Africa are delighted as they get to see the back of Steven Smith! Short of a length, outside off. Steven Smith looks to pull yet again but it goes off the toe end as he turns the face of the bat too early. The ball goes to the right of the long on fielder. Aiden Markram runs there, dives full stretch to his right and takes a screamer! Will this bring South Africa back in the game?
