Siraj is confident but umpire turns down the appeal before captain Dhawan takes the review.

The point of impact and the ball hitting the stumps stay with the umpire's call as Malan has a narrow escape.

Another good delivery which Malan before he drives the next square on the off-side for a couple of runs to get off the mark.

Malan looks keen to get bat on ball as he pokes away from his body and is beaten before he defends the last ball.

Pacer Avesh Khan from the other end. Left-hander de Kock is struck on the pads first ball as he is beaten by the incoming delivery and he hits the next to mid-off.

The next ball is full as de Kock hits it past mid-off for two runs but is hit high on the thighs by the short of good length ball.

Avesh overpitches and this time de Kock plays a beautiful straight drive for the first boundary of the match.

The pacer gets his line right next ball, getting it to move away sharply and narrowly missing the outside edge.

Siraj continues as Malan leaves the first two balls pitched away from the stumps.

The right-hander pushes at the third ball and is beaten before Siraj produces a beauty to open up Malan, the full delivery pitches on off-stump before it swings away to go past the edge.

Malan does well to get back as he plays a splendid drive through the covers for a four.
