1.6
Jofra Archer to Rickelton, no run, huge appeal for leg before and England decide against the review. Guess what! It is three reds on ball tracker. Hitting the top of leg stump. Pitched in line with leg stump and nipped back just enough to beat the inside edge of Rickelton. Hit him on the front pad and England did not look keen on the review. Luck with Rickelton and South Africa at the moment...
1.5
Jofra Archer to Rickelton, no run, Has that carried? Looks like it has gone on the bounce and Rickelton could be safe here. Root has got his fingers underneath when the ball popped up or has it? The umpire has asked for a zoomer and there is a frame which clearly shows that the ball made contact with the ground. Just for a fleeting second. Not out. The crowd are booing the verdict. Rickelton poked with hard hands and the outside edge flew low to the left of Root at first slip. He put in the forward dive and did really well to grab it, but it touched the ground for a fraction of a second before settling in his palms....
