Rashid Khan to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! TAKEN! Rashid Khan gets the dangerous Stubbs! Rashid slows it up nicely and bowls it full, at the stumps, Tristan Stubbs reaches out in front and goes for the sweep as he moves a bit to the off side. Stubbs is through his shot early as he gets done in the flight. The ball hits him on the forearm and lobs over the keeper. Mohammad Nabi at first slip moves quickly to his left and takes it. However, the umpire is unmoved. Afghanistan take the review and the UltraEdge shows the ball has come off the glove. It shows a spike as the ball is next to the glove and Stubbs will have to make the long walk back to the hut. Kyle Verreynne comes out to bat now.

Rashid Khan to Kyle Verreynne, OUT! LBW! A loud shout and up goes the finger! Kyle Verreynne takes the review straight away! Did he get some bat on it? Rashid slips in the googly, short and on middle, Kyle Verreynne hangs on the back foot and shapes up for the cut but he fails to pick the variation from the hand. The ball spins in sharply to rap him on the front pad. UltraEdge shows it is pad first and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be clipping the leg stump. It is umpire's call and the on-field decision will stand. South Africa lose two wickets in 3 balls.

Rashid Khan to Wiaan Mulder, OUT! LBW! Another big shout and the finger is raised! Wiaan Mulder takes the review rather hesitantly. This was the conventional leg break from Rashid, on a length, around off, Wiaan Mulder went back to a delivery that should have been played off the front foot and Mulder was expecting the googly with the ball turning into him. This goes the other way and beats him on the outside edge as he tries to defend with a straight bat. The ball goes on to trap him right in front of the stumps. UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball hitting the off stump. The birthday boy dents South Africa further as he gets his fourth wicket of the game.
