Ravindra to Markram, out Caught&Bowled!! Ravindra strikes! That's a soft dismissal! Markram can't quite believe it as he walks back towards the dressing room dejectedly! On the shorter side on middle and off, turns and grips a bit and perhaps sticks on the surface. Markram checks his punch and ends up lobbing it straight to Ravindra who takes it reverse cup on his followthrough. He is pumped up. South Africa continue to lose their way.
