0.2: Aiden Markram to Kusal Perera, Confusion but safe! Also, excellent from de Kock! On middle, this is worked to square leg. Rabada runs to his right but as he tries to pick the ball up, slips, he lets it through. Pathum Nissanka wants another and sets off but is sent back. The throw to de Kock is a wide one. He collects and without looking, flicks it back onto the stumps but the batter is in.
