Batter wastes no time getting off the mark. Maphaka drives a length ball outside off to extra cover for one run. That gets us to the halfway point of the game. South Africa finish on 174 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. South Africa will have to produce a great effort with the ball if they are to defend this total. A below par innings from these South Africa players who would have expected more.
Maphaka, left-handed bat, comes to the crease.

Shepherd to Stubbs, OUT!
It's all happening. Dismissal coming after the six hit. Stubbs is out after really impressing for these 76 runs off 42 deliveries. Only two batters left in the shed now. Length ball on leg stump. Stubbs slog-sweeps to deep mid wicket and is caught by Powell. Those were game-changing runs from the bat of Stubbs, coming at a S/R of 180. That's the first dismissal for Shepherd for the loss of 38 runs.
