Fast bowler Anrich Nortje comes into the attack, to bowl the eighth over. Tilak defends the first ball before he guides the next to thirdman for a single and Axar takes one off the third ball.
The two batters pick a single each off the last three balls as Nortje makes a tidy start conceding just four singles in his opening over.
Spin introduced as Keshav Maharaj comes in to bowl the ninth over. Axar clips the first ball off his pads through square leg for two runs. He cuts the next ball fine on the off-side for three runs as Ngidi does well to keep the ball inside the ropes.
Three singles and a wide as Maharaj gives away nine runs in the ninth over.
