JN Rhodes struck the first 4 deliveries of his innings for 4, 4, 4 and 6 off the bowling of CL Cairns.
CL Cairns tore his right calf muscle setting off for a run and was run out by a direct hit by DM Benkenstein as he pulled up hobbling mid-pitch. The drinks cart was required to drive him off the field.
12th men: SB Doull (New Zealand), N Boje (South Africa).
