MG Neser who was making his test debut in this match captured his first test wicket when he captured the wicket of opening batsman Haseeb Hameed  caught by MA Starc for 6. Espncricino.com describes Haseeb Hameed’s dismissal thus

6.2 – chipped to mid on! Starc takes it and Neser gets mobbed! Full and angled into middle and off, almost a half volley, Hameed tried to whip it with the bottom hand through midwicket and just chipped it straight to mid on. Strange shot. Not many Test openers get caught at mid on like that in the 7^th over. 12/2.
