OUT! Caught. Andile Phehlukwayo to George Dockrell. Full toss, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep extra cover, caught by van der Dussen. George Dockrell departs for a well made 45, and that's the end of Ireland's innings. From the start, they have played brilliantly with great composure. Mainly Andrew Balbirnie played responsibly but fell short after reaching his century. A good rhythm has been provided for the middle order. Tector had shrewdly kept the momentum for his side. How is South Africa going to approach this total? Let's see in another 30 minutes.
