WMalan c Smith b Lyon
Lyon to Malan, out Caught by Smith!! That's made to look unplayable by Malan and Lyon strikes once more. Mind you it was a good ball, but Malan played it badly, the feet were stuck on the crease and pushed inside the line of a sharply turning delivery on middle, it took the shoulder of the bat and landed in first slip's hands. Lyon was looking for this kind of delivery to the left-hander and finally got it right - the pitch being an ally here. Malan c Smith b Lyon 4(17)

Lyon to Malan, no run, that was the ball to get off the mark but Khawaja at backward point does really well to keep Malan on strike, steered late and to his right, on the dive he grabs the ball
