Length, on middle. Andy Balbirnie blocks it out from inside the crease.

.
A huge appeal for LBW but turned down. Temba Bavuma goes for the review here. It is a length ball, that lands around off, and nips in sharply. Andy Balbirnie hangs back to this delivery and tries to defend it from inside the crease. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits him high on the pads. The UltraEdge confirms no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is missing the wickets. South Africa lose a review.

Back of a length, on middle. Curtis Campher hangs back, tucks it to square leg for none.
7.2
