Bosch bowled a full delivery that moved away from the off-stump. Masood seemed to lose focus and played a loose drive away from his body, edging the ball. It flew to the gully, where Marco Jansen took a brilliant catch. Bosch gave South Africa the first breakthrough, sending Masood back to the pavilion after he scored 17 runs off 58 balls.
