I guess I've got to make excuses for Bavuma as a débutante batting with an inexperienced partner. And Van Zyl was trying to accelerate when he got out. Both are playing for their places in the team when the injured players return. Steyn didn't have that pressure as he's there to take wickets.

124 - 2 after 39

Paint  64* , Elegance 38*

39.5  Imran Tahir to Brathwaite, no run, dropped, Full, driven firmly back to Tahir who had to move

back against his follow through and couldn't grasp it with his left hand.
 

137 - 2 after 42

Place dark !

With deteriorating light, Amla turns to part time spin of Elgar. That could help your guys unless one of them does something silly.

Good 50 from Marlon here. Hope these 2 bat for long and get 3 figures
