However, South Africa have their skipper Faf du Plessis and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock batting on 15 at the crease. Their first target will be to ensure that they wipe out the deficit and not lose by an innings. Jeetan Patel has a couple of wickets to his name. Matt Henry and Colin de Grandhomme have 1 wicket apiece. However, Hashim Amla and Theunis de Bruyn were involved in a hilarious run out that saw the latter walk back to the pavilion.
