FOUR! LOVELY! Bit of King Kallis in that shot. The long levers, the opening of the chest and the extension of the arms. Beautiful to watch. Tossed up outside off, Markram leans and drives it uppishly, wide of cover, for a boundary!
29.2 overs (0 Run) Landed outside off, driven straight to short extra cover.
29.1 overs (1 Run) Full and arrowed in on leg stump, pushed towards cover for a quick single.

28.4 overs (1 Run) On a length ball outside off, Rassie punches it through covers for one.
28.3 overs (0 Run) Outside off, punched off the back foot.
28.2 overs (1 Run) A short ball, on middle, Markram is hurried into the pull shot. Mistimes it and the ball lobs in the air. Just wide of short mid-wicket. A run taken. Lockie is rattling the batsmen with his pace here.
28.1 overs (1 Run) On a good length outside off, cutting in sharply, van der Dussen looks to flick but misses and is hit on the thigh pad. He does not know where the ball is and does a 360 degree rotation before understanding that it has gone to point. A leg bye taken.
27.6 overs (1 Run) Outside off, punched through the covers for a single. 4 runs and a wicket from the over, Santner's figures read 6-0-24-1.

Rassie van der Dussen walks in at number 5, replacing Amla.
27.4 overs (0 Run)
OUT! BOWLED! Santner has his man! He was pegging and pegging and pegging away and eventually gets the Mighty Hash. Amla looks to defend a straight ball but is beaten by the dip in flight. That is what such balls do, when they are flighted over the eyeline. It lands around leg, bounces, spins away and hits the top of off stump. A true spinner's delight. Superb. Amla's struggles are over.
27.3 overs (1 Run) Dropped short, pulled through square leg for a run.
27.2 overs (2 Runs) Another risky shot. Markram is looking a touch fidgety out there. Comes down the track, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball as it is fired down the leg side and luckily for him, he manages to get bat to it to flick it towards fine leg. By the time short fine leg can get across, two runs taken. 50-RUN STAND IS UP!
27.1 overs (0 Run) Full and around off, defended back to the bowler on the front foot.
26.6 overs (1 Run) IN THE AIR... JUST SHORT! A bit risky from Markram. Short and outside off, Aiden leaps and cuts it uppishly towards point. Martin Guptill at point dives forward but the ball lands just short. Hits his palm and then rolls behind. A run taken.
26.5 overs (0 Run) Outside off, punched straight to cover.
26.5 overs (1 Run) WIDE. A slower bouncer, but way down the leg side and too high as well. Left alone.
26.4 overs (1 Run) Outside off, tapped with soft hands through the covers for a quick run.
Sairaj the inquisitive man - Wonder how is this slow-play going to help South Africa. Let's say if it rains and DLS comes into play, their run-rate is certainly going to be an issue. @Sairaj - Nice tag to your name, by the way. Going by their slow approach, this pitch does not look to be a 350 one. It is more of the 250-260 type and the Proteas are keeping wickets in hand for a late flourish. The forecast is predicted to be sunny later on.
26.3 overs (0 Run) The batsman shows the full face of the bat and defends the ball off the back foot.
