Trevor Gwandu to Dewald Brevis
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Brevis departs but he seems to have done his job. Dewald Brevis unleashed a powerful smash towards long off, but the ball edged off the outside edge, hovering enticingly over the point region. In a thrilling display of athleticism, Sikandar Raza sprinted to his left from cover, while Brian Bennett dashed in from deep point. The two fielders nearly collided, but Bennett's sharp focus and quick reflexes allowed him to snag the ball, completing a stunning catch that sent Brevis packing!

Richard Ngarava to Rubin Hermann
OUT! TIMBER! On a length, around off, Rubin Hermann looks to punch this off his back foot but the ball keeps low and beats Rubin Hermann. The ball sneaks past the batter and rattles the timber. SA still needs 12 runs and a few more wickets quickly might just test the tail of the Proteas. A very slim chance for the Chevrons, though.
