Asakhe Tshaka to Jacob Bethell, OUT! TAKEN! Something to rejoice about for South Africa! End of a special innings from Jacob Bethell but he will be gutted he did not score a ton here. It was on the offer but he actually throws it away. He could have easily just nudged it around and got to his ton but he tried to continue the way he has been playing and falls in the attempt. He plays the slog sweep, drags this from outside off, hits it really well but straight to deep mid-wiket where Ethan-John Cunningham takes it. Jacob Bethell though has done his job. For South Africa, they need maybe three or four more quickly.

They go for it. Andile Simelane at point, runs to his left and then fires it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs and replays show that the batter is well short. Two wickets in quick succession. South Africa will just start believing a little.
