Ish Sodhi to Corbin Bosch
OUT! LBW! Ish Sodhi gets his second! Flatter googly, on the middle and leg. Corbin Bosch looks to play the reverse sweep, but he misses and gets pinned in front. Appeal from the bowler and up goes the finger. No DRS in this series, hence Corbin Bosch has to trudge off the field. South Africa are crumbling now.
