Kwena Maphaka to Tim David
10:48 AMWicket! Caught By Tristan Stubbs. No Run. Now that's gone high up in the air one more time, looks not enough to get over the line luckily Stubbs, one of the best fielder out there was underneath grabs easily, good length ball on the middle went to leg side for big shot at bottom of bat easily straight to Stubbs running forward grabbing it to send Tim. Bow down to him for great innings under pressure.
