Lizaad Williams To Andy Balbirnie OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Lizaad Williams finally has a smile on his face. He lost a review for his side, but redeems himself by striking in the very same over. A peach of a delivery from Williams to get rid of Andy Balbirnie. It is a length ball, that lands outside off and nips in sharply off the deck. Andy Balbirnie looks to defend it out on his front foot but fails to get any bat on it.

Lizaad Williams To Andy Balbirnie
A huge appeal for LBW but turned down. Temba Bavuma goes for the review here. It is a length ball, that lands around off, and nips in sharply. Andy Balbirnie hangs back to this delivery and tries to defend it from inside the crease. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits him high on the pads. The UltraEdge confirms no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is missing the wickets. South Africa lose a review.
