Masekesa to Taijul, OUT

Beaten by the flight and Taijul has to depart! Slower through the air flighted ball, wrong-un pitching outside off, Taijul charges down the track and misses the line of the ball, tried to play through the covers, lost his balance as he attempted to get back to the crease, easy pickings for Tsiga behind the stumps, breaks the stumps and the debutant spinner gets his fourth wicket!
