  Lungi Ngidi to Ben Duckett

  9:20 AM

  Three Runs. Back of length ball outside off, cuts it wide of extra cover, Stubbs gives it a chase and manages to save the boundary, puts in a good throw at batting end where Markram comes running in from mid on but fails to collect the ball and flick it on the stumps, poor game awareness from Ngidi because if he would have been near the stumps then Duckett would have fallen short

  Marco Jansen to Jamie Smith

  Wicket! Caught By Aiden Markram. No Run. A similar dismissal as Salt! Was a short of length ball outside off, looks to pull it away but gets late on the pull, top edges it towards mid on where stand-in-skipper Markram takes a simple catch.
