Adam Zampa 1-58(10 ov)

46.6
Zampa to Maharaj, 1 run, stays back to a fairly full ball and blocks it into off. The bowler doesn't move to his left and Maharaj spots that to take a single. Even the cover fielder was lethargic to get to the ball. Was it a tactic from Ellis to keep Maharaj on strike? He wears a cheeky smile while Zampa isn't too happy
46.5
Zampa to Maharaj, no run, 85.5kph, flighted outside off, Maharaj pushes this full delivery to backward point
46.4

46.3
Zampa to Mulder, 1 run, 89.6kph, pushed through quicker and fuller on leg, knocked to long-on
46.2
Zampa to Maharaj, 1 run, 84.1kph, more flight, very full and that's been driven along the ground to long-off

Zampa to Mulder, 1 run, 83.9kph, flighted delivery, Mulder gets forward and loft and miscues. Long-on takes it on the bounce
44.6

Zampa to Mulder, FOUR, 90.4kph, quicker one outside off, Mulder makes room and gets low. Quick hands from Mulder who slaps it past the diving backward point fielder. The ball races away to the fence
44.5
Zampa to Bavuma, 1 run, 81.4kph, full delivery and Bavuma paddles it to fine leg
44.4
Zampa to Bavuma, 2 runs, gets down low and sweeps uppishly over midwicket. Dwarshuis with the throw to the keeper's end and there's an appeal for run-out. Bavuma doesn't stretch fully, probably because he's just returned from a hamstring injury. He's in. A direct-hit would have been curtains for the captain
44.3
Zampa to Mulder, 1 run, 88.1kph, non-turning length ball, Mulder makes room and punches to sweeper cover
44.2
Zampa to Bavuma, 1 run, 87.5kph, pushed through flatter on leg and that's been blunted to midwicket

39.6
Zampa to Stubbs, no run, a reverse sweep strightaway from Stubbs, bends down low and finds the fielder at short third
39.5
W
Zampa to Breetzke, out Caught by Hardie!! A massive top-edge on the slog-sweep, went very high and it lands in Hardie's hands at deep mid-wicet - was invitingly floated up by Zampa and Breetzke couldn't resist going for the big hit, but it's Zampa's extra bounce which led to his undoing, catches the top-edge and flies high into the sky. Breetzke falls after a breezy half-century. Breetzke c Hardie b Zampa 57(56) [4s-7 6s-1]
39.4

Zampa to Breetzke, FOUR, thumped, dragged shortt by Zampa - it sits up to be smacked, Breetzke makes room and then hammers the pull over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the ropes
39.3
Zampa to Breetzke, 2 runs, lovely, a free-flowing drive over extra-cover, the ball slows down near the ropes and it's only a couple - was generously tossed up by Zampa and Breetzke backed away on the inside out loft
39.2

31.1
Zampa to Bavuma, no run, flatter and just outside off - Bavuma backs away and chops it to backward point
29.6
Zampa to Bavuma, no run, lovely ball from Zampa. Looped up, draws the batsman forward into a big drive and the ball spins past the outside edge of Bavuma along with extra bounce. Josh Inglis breaks the stumps and there's an appeal for stumping. The South African captain does well to drag his leg back. Extra bounce meant that the keeper had to take a little more time to collect the ball and that helped Bavuma to get back

13.1
Zampa to Rickelton, no run, another big shout for LBW, but did it pitch outside leg? Australia have reviewed - was very full and Rickelton played all around it, stumbled across and was struck on the back-pad - RTS has a flat line, onto ball-tracking: It's pitched outside leg and Australia have lost a review. Excellent call from umpire Chris Gaffaney
