Jasprit Bumrah to continue his unfinished over, after he had claimed the wicket of Dean Elgar with two balls left which forced the umpires to call for stumps.

The first ball is well wide and swings away as Rassie van der Dussen leaves. The next ball comes in as van der Dussen leaves and is struck high on the pads, to end the over.

Mohammed Shami from the other end. The first ball is full and swings away as Keegan Petersen, on 48, looks to push away from his body and is beaten.

The next ball is closer to the stumps and moves away quite a bit, as Petersen is beaten and must consider himself lucky not to have edged it.

The third ball is full and on the stumps as Petersen defends it back down the pitch.

Petersen gets the fourth ball off the outside half of the bat, past gully for a couple of runs to bring up his fifty from 65 balls.

The next ball is pitched up as Petersen defends it with a straight bat before he leaves the last ball which comes in sharply and passes very close to the stumps.
