The Losers 1st Innings

Ball 01 :  Sam Curran to Rilee Rossouw, dot , all throw their heads back in disappointment. Was the slider outside off stump, Rilee Rossouw stayed back to late cut, missed

Ball 09 :  Sam Curran to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR runs, that was a poor shot! Poky outside off, hung his bat outside off and the ball went off the edge. The slip fielder at fourth slip dived to his left but was away. That gap between second and fourth slip didn't help
