00:00close to the knee he's got a wicket he's just been into attack we're calling for him to be

00:15introduced because there's some assistance for the seamers and it's just taken the four

00:20deliveries and zimbabwe have now got it nicely driven just a push and the outfield will do the

00:29rest and earn him a boundary here just the quality of a player that he is just an example of that in

00:35that stroke whoa that bounce that's taking that edge the shoulder of the bat that surprised him

00:43surely he tried to take one hand off that handle but just couldn't keep that bat away from the line

00:49of the ball oh there you go tentative it plays in the back of your mind how your partner's been

00:58dismissed just poking at that and that is really catching practice for the men behind the stops

01:03plays a big shot and that's how he goes about his work counter punch it goes all the way for six

01:12to get the circumstances all right then like I said if you haven't seen him there's some of them

01:27this could be close if he hits guys miscommunication in the middle and that's a massive moment for

01:36zimbabwe one repertoire as he's disappointed we and milder has to trudge off and kudos to

01:45zarabani for going so quickly as well bit of a miscommunication and in the effort to pick the

01:51ball up turn around and one action and hit the stumps direct it's done well to hit that along the

02:00ground you can be so tempted to try and get it over that fielder two batters that love to feel back on

02:07ball maybe they go after one that isn't quite the hell that's a bit sloppy on that occasion by katana

02:1550 for the debutante not too many dot balls since he came in well it's a half tracker that'll be put

02:28away that was really an ordinary delivery and leggies do tend to do that from time and again but this time

02:35drags it down hit it up in the air he's not trying to hit it down he's trying to go up and out the ground

02:43it goes and they've restored the control goes up it's in the air and well that's my thinking onto the

02:55roof it goes second maximum of the over in baking down and for like three or four hours now Revis gets

03:03a full toss is it this is 50 we wait and see yes it is so on debut these two youngsters have got

03:11themselves to the 50 mark that's up in the air oh he's taken it the extra bounce we've seen it

03:20the Zorobani has extracted a lot of bounce out of the surface because it cuts him out to be in the

03:27right approach and Pretorius doesn't matter wicked has fallen he says I'm going to continue to attack you

03:32and brilliantly played really these about the control took to a nasty and will make its way down to the

03:39fence valiant effort down there but another boundary for Pretorius and that has taken Zimbabwe a little

03:50on the back foot and they spread their field out that's a boundary there so that attacking mode was

03:55removed catch catches it what's the umpire saying yeah he nods his head he's got to go that's a good

04:07breakthrough for them I'll call this back-to-back wickets just before shout for catch it but misses

04:17everyone and goes to everyone and goes to the boundary four to end the over

04:21so many open spaces there has it gone to the boundary that's a long run and he's dived over the

04:35rope what a wonderful feat it will be from him and he's got it Laundre Pretorius

04:46in the air in the air in the air a long way some shot for six T after this should be the final

05:01over this time he's made no effort to keep it down gone over that mid-weekend area and all the way for

05:09six that's a lovely stroke what's really good about it is how he just closed the face of the bats upon

05:21contact goes for the field is there but it's more of a bottom edge really and controlled from Pretorius

05:35that is a very very good stroke exquisite from Pretorius and it brings us to the end of the 63rd over

05:47279 for six

05:55that finds its way to the extra cover boundary as well so serious concerns for Craig Irvin

06:01then there's the barbie an outfit and I think that's maybe where they missed a trick up in the air this

06:08could be the end of it it is comfortable catch from other cuts and the steep bounce from Jibunga works the

06:15trick again it's been a wonderful inning spot Pretorius you'll be immensely disappointed that's very

06:22straight very straight very high and goes all the way it's a nice follow-through on that from our Raj

06:30trouble is to hit your way out of trouble that is flashed and that brings up his 50. he's gotten a wide

06:42one from Muzara body learn the kitchen sink in it that's slightly up issue will do the job will end the

06:53over with the boundary taking South Africa to 321 for seven nicely done we'll cross Wellington he's no way

07:05close to it second time the catch of Maharaj is there you go again this time hasn't got hold of it two

07:14men under it don't mess it up nicely done well Brian Bennett takes that catch to send the South African

07:22captain back in the hunt as he through the onside I'll be a boundary all along the carpet for four

07:32that's short again there was a similar delivery in the previous over and I think this is just a case

07:42trying to try to get through his action too quickly control not there drags it down that's not a good

07:51delivery you know that's just given the opportunity to slap that ball away for Cody Yusuf outside edge

08:03more runs yeah from Williams because chase oh I told you it's quickness outfield very quick runs away for

08:10oh nasty play nasty play just rocks back opens the face and there's another boundary not sure that

08:24this is the right link is that a bunny should be bowling spectacular that's nasty play a little bit of

08:30width they've changed the feel that the third man and this one's hit comfortably just behind square

08:36it against in the air does it carry yes it does comfortably taken and eventually bizarre

08:47Barney gets his wicket exactly what he does it's a miss field a bonus boundary for Corbin Bosch and he now

09:01moves to 93 Bosch goes for it and pulls it off couple of bounces and into the boundary he goes to 97 South

09:14Africa go over 400 that Bosch is now not unstruck it's dropped Bosch will charge back and get back

09:25for the second there was the opportunity to wrap up the innings for Zimbabwe but the South African all-rounder

09:31gets away with it pulls it away comfortably and begins the celebrations a wonderful hundred year

09:39by Corbin Bosch he played second football at the start of his innings loud the other batters around him

09:45but when they were gone he took charge and took charge in emphatic fashion Parker pulls that on

09:53away and does it in some style it's the whole way on the massive boundary to end the day's play a

09:59fantastic shot by the South African left-arm bowler and he'll go to the dressing room and talk

10:05about that one never mind the fact that he got Corbin Bosch to 100

10:15so

10:18you
