The Proteas team, which came out to bat on Saturday, started their innings with the captain Dean Elgar And Sarel Ervi Gradually sewing up a partnership. However, this did not last long josh hazelwood And Nathan Lyon The openers were removed and the visitors were bundled out for 37 for 2. But what caught everyone’s attention was Ervy’s bizarre dismissal off Lyon’s bowling.
In the 18th over, Lyon bowled a brilliant delivery to Ervy, completely bundling the Proteas batsman. Irvy decided not to play a shot on that delivery and that decision proved to be wrong as the good length ball turned sharply and missed his off-stump.
