Imran Tahir to Abdur Rehman, OUT, Amla holds on at deep square leg, and Rehman’s fightback is over, stepped down the track and swung it high with the turn, wasn’t to the pitch and wasn’t on top of the bounce when he connected, Amla manages to take it safely in the end
well played Abdur ReHmaan
Amla has his FOURTH catch of the inning! it’s a RECORD!
