17.6
Hastings to Miller, 1 run
17.5
Hastings to Miller, SIX, that's gone! Fully over the stand at deep square leg this time! Miller adjusts his range and attaches a rocket to a full, leg-stump ball from Hastings, sends it fizzing beyond the rope, beyond the stadium... and yet it's still only worth six
17.4
Hastings to Miller, no run, dug into the pitch, cutting his fingers over it, Miller swings at misses outside off
17.3
Hastings to Abbott, 1 run, good length on the stumps, Abbott stands back and prods it to Hastings' right, he can't quite get down and they scamper one
 

Can Abbott nick a single to get off strike? It's a perversity of this SA line-up that they bat deep and have quite a long tail

 
17.2
Hastings to Miller, 1 run, short of a length, swivels on a pull to deep backward square
17.1
Hastings to Miller, FOUR, brilliant shot, lashed through the covers in front of the sweeper for four! He picked the slower ball and threw his hands through the shot
 

John Hastings back, three overs to go
