W
Santner to Bavuma, out Caught by Williamson!! There's the wicket, Bavuma was getting increasingly flustered, tried to lift the rate and slices a thick edge, straight down KW's throat at backward point and he ain't dropping those. Was a lovely piece of bowling as well - slowed down the pace and invited Bavuma to go for the big hit over, but it it dropped and spun across the right-hander, forcing a bad miscue and the thick slice lobbed into the hands of KW.
