Michael Neser to Dawid Malan, OUT! LBW! Michael Neser you beauty! He gets the big wicket of Dawid Malan and Neser picks up his first wicket of the innings. This is the second time we are witnessing a reprieve not lasting long today. Earlier in the day, Smith was dropped once but did not last long after that, while Malan, who was just dropped by Smith an over before, falls on the next ball he faces. A length ball, around off, nips in sharply off the deck. Malan is stuck inside his crease and gets rapped on the pads. Neser appeals and the umpire raises his dreaded finger. Top class stuff from the bowler. Malan gives it a thought and takes the review eventually. The RTS shows no bat is involved. The Ball Tracker shows three reds and Malan has to walk back to the pavilion.
Nathan Lyon to Rory Burns, Beaten! Tossed up, on off. Rory Burns gets all squared up as he tries to defend. He misses and the ball zips past the outside edge.
