Fast bowler Jordan grabbed 3/34 in 11.5 overs and off spinner Chase snatched 3/98 in 19 overs, but the South Africa XI still posted a healthy 317 all out to earn a 34-run lead on first innings. Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was also among the wickets, taking 2/45 in ten overs.
Opener Wiaan Lubbe was the top scorer for the South Africa XI, hitting 72 off 131 balls with nine fours and one six. Dewald Brevis also showed his potential, lashing eight fours and one six in his innings of 50 off 63 deliveries.
