46.1
W
Ngidi to Mitchell, out Caught by Rabada!! Mitchell falls one short of fifty! A slower fuller length ball wide outside off, Mitchell has to reach out and goes for the heave but is early into the shot and miscues it. Rabada in the deep moves to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a well-judged catch. A good knock from Mitchell nonetheless. Mitchell c Rabada b Ngidi 49(37) [4s-4 6s-1]
45.2
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, 1 run, off-pace fullish ball on middle and leg, Mitchell plays it with soft hands through mid-on. The call initially was for two but Miller is quick. They don't take on his arm
44.5
Ngidi to Mitchell, 1 run, good length ball on off, Mitchell works it to deep square leg
44.4
4
Ngidi to Mitchell, FOUR, cracking shot! Short and width on offer, Mitchell cashes in and slaps it through point. That travels to the rate of knots and there's no stopping that
44.3

Ngidi to Mitchell, FOUR, a chance goes abegging! Slower length ball on off, Mitchell drags the heave towards deep backward square leg. Mulder is perhaps late to pick it up. He runs to his left and waits for it. Dives in front a bit late. The ball goes through his hands and runs away to the fence. The sunrays might have blocked his vision. It's that phase of the day with the shadows visible
44.2
6
Ngidi to Mitchell, SIX, crunched! Mitchell sets himself up with a strong base near the off-stump. Ngidi rolls his fingers on this one and it sits up nicely for Mitchell. He lines it up and swipes it over deep backward square leg for a maximum
43.5
Rabada to Mitchell, 1 run, 106.2kph slower shortish delivery on off, Mitchell helps the pull to fine leg
43.2
Rabada to Mitchell, 1 run, short of length ball wide outside off, slower ball, Mitchell slaps it to deep point. The idea is to keep it away from the batter usually and try and make him create his own pace
42.6
4
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, FOUR, poor delivery and duly punished! Pace on this time and width on offer, Mitchell waits for it, opens the face of his bat and glides it past the left side of short third to get the desired result. Can't afford to bowl there with third man inside the ring. 13 runs off the over
42.5
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, 2 runs, Mitchell covers the line to the full delivery and works it with soft hands through mid-wicket. Some good running between the wickets allows the batters to take a couple
42.4
4
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, FOUR, shot! Slower one but ends up being in the slot outside off, Mitchell shuffles across a bit and lifts it over mid-off to find the fence. Good percentage shot with no protection in the deep there
42.1
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, 1 run, pitched up wide outside off, the slower one, Mitchell reaches out and toe-ends his drive to long-off
41.4
Rabada to Mitchell, 1 run, this is smart bowling! The slower ones are gripping a bit and Rabada is using them to good effect. The line was a bit awry but the idea was right and he got away with it. Dug into the surface and cutting down leg, Mitchell swipes it towards fine leg
40.6
Marco Jansen to Mitchell, no run, another pace-off delivery and dug into the surface this time, Mitchell shuffles across and is ages early into the pull. The ball also kept a bit low and he is struck near the thigh pad
