Series: England tour of South Africa, 2019-20 Venue: SuperSport Park, Centurion Date & Time: Dec 26-Dec 3010:00 AM LOCAL

Rabada 3-68(15 ov)

52.6
Rabada to Anderson, no run, weaves past. I0$. Anderson presses, pokes, but the line straightens back in but that's now inside-the-line it's been played here. Beaten
52.5
Rabada to Anderson, no run, 136kph, tight on off, forward late defence
52.4
W
Rabada to Broad, out Caught by Elgar!! The certified Broad medicine -- and Rabada bangs in the bumper. To be fair it's not on target, and is wide enough for Broad to not play at. But Broad's scarred since 2014, he awkwardly stays back-footed and fends away with no control, splicing the balloon down Elgar's throat. Broad c Elgar b Rabada 2(7)
52.3
Rabada to Broad, no run, 137kph, jags in off a back of a length, something Broad stays beside to and pokes away to point
52.2
Rabada to Jofra Archer, 1 run, another forward push, in between point and cover to pinch a quick one
52.1
Rabada to Jofra Archer, 2 runs, 143kph, checks his cover-push, which is more an extension of his defence, successfully in the gap out there
50.6
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, 136kph, perfectly nasty snorter. On the head, with Archer hopping in all sorts of a tangle, I0$ managing to fend it by his feet
50.5
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, draws him out on the drive, and it's crisply stroked out to extra cover
50.4
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, 136kph, past the outside edge. Bang in the channel, where Archer HAS to play at, but it's quite short with lots of nip-away to beat his loose back-footed defence comprehensively
50.3
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, 137kph, fuller on off, Archer stoops in the defence
50.2
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, 135kph, a back-footed steer, punchy rather, away from his body
50.1
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, 134kph, length, jagging across big time to fly off the squared up outside edge towards point
48.6
Rabada to Jofra Archer, no run, nasty yorker. Welcome, welcome. Archer jams his bat down, don't ask him how
48.5
W
Rabada to Sam Curran, out Caught by Zubayr Hamza!! In the midst of some real ordinary bowling, Rabada manages a bonus. Quite a harmless tummy-line, something Curran looks to nurdle away. But, but, the ball sticks a touch in the pitch, doesn't come on nicely and the glance gets miscued. Still, the short leg out there is for the bat-pad takes, not ones flying flush off the middle of the middle. Not Hamza, he's crouching right there, staying low, comfortably reacting quickly to his left. Sam Curran c Zubayr Hamza b Rabada 20(24) [4s-4]
48.4
Rabada to Sam Curran, no run, 140kph, back foot shuffle, defending off the outside half to point
48.3
Rabada to Sam Curran, no run, 141kph, bumper. Curran half-ways with the bat stuck in front of him as if half-hoping to upper cut
48.2
Rabada to Sam Curran, no run, 143kph, sliding down leg, and then some late swing as well to ensure he doesn't connect the glance
48.1
4
Rabada to Sam Curran, FOUR, 129kph, nice li'l punch. Curran continues to be the thorn in the usual blowing up of tails, absolutely elegantly nailing his punch wide of mid-off. Oh, and the pose for the cams ..
46.6
Rabada to Buttler, no run, shorter, and has a swivelling swat away to mid-wicket
46.5
4
Rabada to Buttler, FOUR, marginally wide, allowing Buttler to stay leg-sided and open up his punch on the up to nail it through the covers. Yes, delightful
46.4
Rabada to Buttler, no run, more on middle here, letting Buttler get behind and knock to leg
46.3
Rabada to Buttler, no run, an all ends up beat. Rabada probes the channel of uncertainty, and also finds a crack to make matters complicated as this one stays damn low, straighteing ever so slightly past Buttler's weavy-defence
46.2
Rabada to Buttler, 2 runs, 142kph, thigh-lined, quietly nudged away through mid-wicket
46.1
Rabada to Buttler, no run, 139kph, surprise, surprise, a high full toss. Buttler's in shock too, recovering just in time with a hurried defence
31.6
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 138kph, in front, across and knocking it away to mid-wicket
31.5
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 141kph, slight scoot through off a length, but Stokes' quick to adjust in keeping it out
31.4
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 138kph, on a back of a length now. Stokes stands right up on it to punch it out to cover
31.3
4
Rabada to Stokes, FOUR, overcooks it on off. Stokes only needs to check his flick here, with the strength in his bottom hand taking over and drilling it straight of mid-on
31.2
Rabada to Stokes, no run, short, gets Stokes slightly squared up in defence
31.1
Rabada to Denly, 1 run, 137kph, too full. A square drive, which point's dive palms away
29.6
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 141kph, attempts the yorker on off, squeezed back down
29.5
4
Rabada to Stokes, FOUR, just too easy. Rabada's clearly not hit his spots here in this spell, throwing this short and wide for Stokes to pull away off his front foot with all disdain
29.4
Rabada to Stokes, 2 runs, another jump with a straight block, and there's no mid-on now to stop this
29.3
Rabada to Stokes, no run, apparently a leg-line - something Stokes tries to glance, but, but, it seams, coming off the leading-edge instead, down the pitch
29.2
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 141kph, shuffles bigger, with a much straighter bat in defending it down the pitch
29.1
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 141kph, angling across with Stokes in a jumpy-waft to inside-edge it through his legs
26.6
Rabada to Stokes, no run, 146kph, stays back of a length, and gets a stern block back
26.5
Rabada to Denly, 1 run, 142kph, short again, tummy-lined, nudged in front of square
26.4
4
Rabada to Denly, FOUR, 146kph, educated edge you'd say, with Rabada staying on the shorter side, with Denly in his soft defences trying to stab to point and ending up getting it between second slip and gully instead
26.3
Rabada to Denly, no run, 146kph, back foot, going up on this to bunt it away to off
26.2
Rabada to Denly, no run, 146kph, wobbly-seamed, jagging away big time. But all of it is well outside off
26.1
Rabada to Denly, no run, 142kph, goes hard on the pull, with no control whatsoever, toe-ending it away to mid-on
24.6
Rabada to Denly, no run, 144kph, sharp carry here off a back of a length, and despite the nip back in, Denly's seen it early to leave on length
24.5
Rabada to Denly, no run, looked like he's getting squared up here, opening up his defence
24.4
Rabada to Denly, no run, better. In that fifth-stump channel, getting Denly to play away from his body, which he does with a delicate stab towards gully
24.3
4
Rabada to Denly, FOUR, 146kph, strays onto the legs now -- for some easy clippings, not over-hitting and ensuring it goes fine
24.2
Rabada to Denly, no run, 140kph, hangs behind, opening up his bat face late and guiding it to a diving gully
24.1
4
Rabada to Denly, FOUR, 144kph, but a dragged down sitter. Denly sees it early, swivelling on his back heel to swat it away over mid-on
22.6
4
Rabada to Denly, FOUR, 139kph .. neat. The ball's clearly stopped misbehaving here for Denly to trust it a lot more in leaning to the pitch of it and nailing the perfect of cover drives through the line
22.5
Rabada to Denly, no run, 140kph, back of a length, nibbling in, kept out off the tummy
22.4
Rabada to Root, 1 run, 139kph, softly tapped just next to the pitch, and Denly's quick to call him through. Steady, steady ..
22.3
Rabada to Root, no run, 140kph, short again, but closer to the body here, cramping out the room on his cut, which eventually is a miscue to gully
22.2
Rabada to Root, no run, 142kph, gets a plonk across in front to nudge it out to short mid-wicket
22.1
4
Rabada to Root, FOUR, loose. Short, wide and Root doesn't need back-footed invites .. he jumps on it and cuts it away through an empty point
10.6
Rabada to Denly, 1 run, off the mark after 28 balls. Denly should be a relieved man. Back of a length around off, Denly gets on top of the bounce and taps it with soft hands into the off-side, Root responds to the quick single call
10.5
Rabada to Denly, no run, short of length outside off, Denly lifts his bat and lets it go
10.4
Rabada to Denly, no run, sprays this down leg, easy leave for Denly
10.3
Rabada to Denly, no run, dropped! van der Dussen has put it down but de Kock should be blamed for it. Denly lost his patience and went fishing at a back of a length delivery in the channel, the outside edge goes low to first slip but de Kock dived across and put van der Dussen off. Rabada cannot believe it as he is down on his haunches
10.2
Rabada to Denly, no run, 140kph angled in full delivery and Denly pushes with a straight bat to mid-on
10.1
Rabada to Denly, no run, back of a length on off, Denly is right behind the line to defend it to mid-on
8.6
Rabada to Root, no run, 137kph, on a length and slanting in after Root had let it pass
8.5
Rabada to Root, no run, wasted back of a length delivery outside off, Root shoulders arms
8.4
4
Rabada to Root, leg byes, FOUR, woah! Struck on the helmet. Root has a smile on his face but he didn't have one as he saw the ball coming straight to his noggin. 143kph short ball aimed for the England skipper's head and Root took his eyes off as he ducked straight into it, the ball flies over the slip cordon and Root now checks for any damage on the helmet
8.3
Rabada to Root, no run, 144kph nip-backer and Root gets into an awkward position, beaten miles on the inside edge and struck on the thigh pad
8.2
Rabada to Root, no run, short of length that keeps climbing after Root lets it pass, de Kock jumps to glove it
8.1
4
Rabada to Root, FOUR, shot! Nothing wrong with the delivery but Root's confident stride forward does all the work. He presses across and opens the bat face on the push, yes just a push and the ball raced away square of the wicket on the off-side
6.6
Rabada to Root, no run, a tad shorter on off. A shuffling block, neatly lining up
6.5
Rabada to Root, no run, finally, the feet get moving, getting in front of the stumps to cover as he leaves a lesser harmful one outside off
6.4
Rabada to Root, no run, and it's his turn to get beaten on the outside edge now. Root continues to stay on the back foot, shuffling as he looks to keep this out .. a squared up miss here
6.3
Rabada to Root, 2 runs, awkward, ugly fend away. Rabada digs it in short, gets Root in all sorts of a tangle as he looks for cover in bringing his bat in front of his chest, popping it behind square
6.2
Rabada to Root, no run, 144kph, beaten all ends up. Damn full, forcing Root to have to play at assuming it to be the yorker on the base of off. And Root, being the back-footed bully, is slightly late in bringing his bat down. Never mind, even if he had, the ball was dipping sharply on him and straightening past
6.1
Rabada to Root, no run, 146kph, wide hard length tease. A jumpy shuffle, and an ignore
4.6
W
Rabada to Sibley, out Caught by de Kock!! Another spit up, another has-to-poke moment, another glove. But the umpire isn't convinced. And Faf doesn't even bother asking people before he takes it upstairs. Sibley, meanwhile, decides to walk off. Duh, he knows. But Denly asks him to let technology get wasted here, and yes, it's a thick spike on UltraEdge. Well, well, what do we know! We thought 284 was under-par .. Sibley c de Kock b Rabada 4(12) [4s-1]
4.5
4
Rabada to Sibley, FOUR, feeds the pads. Sibley finally gets to middle something, whipping it away through mid-wicket. That's all he's done all through New Zealand
4.4
Rabada to Sibley, no run, 145kph, spits past the edge. It's found a crack somewhere, taking off past poor Sibley's hanging defence
4.3
Rabada to Sibley, no run, 146kph .. and all of it is wasted down leg. Way, way down
4.2
Rabada to Sibley, no run, fifth-stumped, length, well left
4.1
Rabada to Sibley, no run, 141kph, short one, shoulder-high, Sibley probably is trying to leave with a shuffle inside the line, but no, it's quick enough to pop off his glove
2.6
Rabada to Rory Burns, 1 run, 146kph, cramping rib-line, fended away behind square
2.5
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, presses closer to the pitch of the ball now, pushing out to cover
2.4
4
Rabada to Rory Burns, FOUR, 145kph, gets squared up big time, falling all over but again, it's these ugly runs he's made a habit of -- thick outside edge, through point
2.3
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, 141kph, another late sway. Rabada goes short, but Burns' made a career out of his late decisions
2.2
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, 143kph, sharp kick up off a length .. straightens and spits past Burns's half defence
2.1
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, 138kph, short, Burns sways out in time
0.6
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, 142kph, chipped off the hips, but again, it's streaky, but it's dying in front of short leg
0.5
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, 145kph, hurrying into the thighs. Burns manages to soften his nudge out to square leg
0.4
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, beaten on the drive. Well, well. It's quite an examination this and Burns is doing his best to fail here. He chases a wide full one, unnecessarily, missing
0.3
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, tummy-lined, too quick for Burns' glance, missing and taking the blow
0.3
4
Rabada to Rory Burns, no ball, FOUR, 144kph, top yorker, Burns once again gets his front leg across, falls over, looks extremely ugly, but somehow, I0$ gets the leading edge to fly through point. Anyway, Rabada's overstepping again
0.3
Rabada to Rory Burns, no ball, 143kph, another wide angler, wider in fact. A bigger leave
0.2
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, angling across bigger, Burns lines up his leave now
0.1
Rabada to Rory Burns, no run, there's the edgy noise. And Rabada does a more convincing version of Anderson. It's full, sharping back in through the air, but once it pitches, it goes straight on. Yea, just Rabada things. Burns goes on an expansive straight drive, falls over, and the South Africans are convinced. The umpire's convinced. Burns' confused, looking around, pondering hard before reviewing. Thank god he did, the noise is that of his bat brushing the pad before the ball goes past it, untouched
