Wiaan Mulder to Shimron Hetmyer
SIX! HUGE! Even if it does affect the skipper's game, Hetmyer is there to cover his back. Mulder dishes a full length ball, on off, Hetmyer gets under it and powers it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum.

Wiaan Mulder to Shimron Hetmyer
In the air..DROPPED! This is the second time Tabraiz Shamsi has put down Shimron Hetmyer in this innings. A short ball on off, Hetmyer looks to go big again, but take ball takes the outside edge and flies towards the point region. Tabraiz Shamsi gets under it and make a mess of it. The batters take a single.

Wiaan Mulder to Kieron Pollard
 OUT! CAUGHT! The skipper departs, the injury really affected his play. Mulder serves a full toss outside off, Pollard goes after it but without moving his feet. He does not manage to get any distance on it and finds Aiden Markram at long off.

Wiaan Mulder to Andre Russell
 OUT! CAUGHT! Two-in-two! Mulder has suddenly taken the game on his head. Russell the giant has to go back on a golden duck. The Proteas continue to impress in the field and this time it is Lungi Ngidi. A full length ball, outside off, Russell cuts it towards point. It stays above the ground. Ngidi dives in front of him to take a sharp low catch. A big, big blow for West Indies. Can South Africa capitalize on it?
