Gerald Coetzee to Kyle Jamieson, out Caught by Ottneil Baartman!! We are going to get a decider in this series. It's short and at the tall Kyle Jamieson, despite him being so tall, this hits him on the splice as he goes on the back foot to pull, lobs up and Baartman runs from short fine to his left and takes a good catch, dives forward to snaffle it with both hands. South Africa win by 19 and they are all smiles. Kyle Jamieson c Ottneil Baartman b Gerald Coetzee 13(9)
