Neesham comes into the attack. Rickelton eases the first ball down to long-on for a single. Markram waits on the next and guides it beautifully between backward point and short third for four. He then rotates strike with a couple of singles as South Africa keep the scoreboard ticking.
Wicket! Rickelton goes for the big hit and it's a stunner in the deep! Daryl Mitchell judges it brilliantly at long-on. Right on the ropes, he takes it reverse-cup, realises he's stepping over, lobs the ball back in, regains his balance outside the boundary, and returns to complete the catch. Mitchell is pumped -- a sensational effort. Rickelton departs for 21 off 11 balls.
Dewald Brevis walks in and makes an immediate impact -- smashing a boundary to get off the mark. Glenn Phillips is stationed well inside the rope, and even a huge leap can't prevent it. A dot ball ends the over. 10 runs and a wicket from it.
SA 106/2 after 8 overs. They need 70 from 72 balls.
