"Why are the players wearing those grey armbands?" I know not, Share Guest, unless it is for Martin Crowe... Anyone?

 
8.6
Tye to Rossouw, 2 runs, round the wicket, pitched up and driven in front of square, good running and a dive from Rossouw brings them back for two
8.5
Tye to du Plessis, 1 run, goes over the wicket, good length and rifled square off the back foot, straight to deep point for one
 

Free hit coming up...

 
8.5
Tye to Rossouw, (no ball) 1 run, another full toss - this looks like it'll be a no-ball on height - and Rossouw does well to keep it eye on it and clout one in the air out towards long-on
8.4
Tye to Rossouw, FOUR, full toss from Tye... and it squeezes past backward point off an outside edge for four
8.3
Tye to du Plessis, 1 run, comes forward and drives a single into a gap at mid-off
 

Rossouw signals for a replacement straight away, that bat is properly knacked

 
8.2
Tye to Rossouw, 1 run, slower ball, slightly short and Rossouw goes to pull, mistimes it through square leg... looks like bat-breaker, right off the corner of the toe
8.1
Tye to Rossouw, no run, excellent line and length from Tye, beats the bat as Rossouw pokes at it outside off
