13.2 Gerald Coetzee to Travis Head
4 FOUR MORE!! Audacious from Travis Head! 144.6 kmph. Cortzee tries to correct his length and bowls it short of a length, around off. Head is quick to react as he goes back and adjusts beautifully. Opens his bat off late and ramps it over the keeper's head. The ball flies away all the way and lands close to the boundary cushions. The third umpire is called in to check and it is given a boundary, as the ball touches the grass a bit.
