23.3 to AK Markram, edged, gone! No century from Markram. Back of a length outside off, bit of a half-hearted poke outside off, regulation edge. Markram throws his head back. A big one goes begging. Had played very nicely. 131/2
45.4 to T Bavuma, dragged on! Angled in from around the wicket, he clears the front leg to try and mow it over wide long-on, gets a little inside edge and it crashes into middle and off. 266/6

16.5 to RD Rickelton, holes out to mid-off! Good catch by Labuschagne. 94kph, tossed up outside off, Rickelton charges and moves too far leg side, he reaches out trying to loft over mid-off but miscues it flat to Labuschagne on the circle and he takes the catch rolling to his right. 92/1
40.2 to T Stubbs, holes out to long-off! 85kph, tossed up wide of off, he gets a huge stride out to loft over cover but nailed it flat and a touch too straight and Green takes the catch at head height at long-off. 224/4
40.4 to D Brevis, Six and out! Holes out to long-on! Carey holds on. Tossed up outside off, he's down on one knee to slog sweep over long-on, he got it off the toe and it falls five metres short of clearing the rope and Carey takes a composed catch. 230/5
48.3 to KA Maharaj, holes out to long-off! Head has four! Flighted outside off, drifting away, he lofts this high towards long-off but there's not enough power in it to clear Green standing ten metres in from the rope. 284/7
1005815.80203000
39.5 to MP Breetzke, top edged slog sweep finds Hardie at deep forward square! Clever bowling. Slightly higher and slower with some bounce, he tries to slog sweep and gets a top edge that hangs in the air for an age, Hardie runs in and takes it well. 223/3

32.1 to BJ Dwarshuis, pulled straight to midwicket! That might be the game. Short ball that stayed a touch low and came off slow, Dwarshuis tried to pull but had to adjust his swing plane and just checked his pull shot flat and straight to Brevis at midwicket. 160/7
36.2 to MR Marsh, gone, and that should be it! The short ball eventually works. Marsh looking to drag a pull to the on side, gets a top edge through to the keeper. A good spell from Burger. 174/8
4.502825.79194020
40.2 to NT Ellis, given lbw! Short of a length, keeps low, Ellis goes for a pull and it takes the back leg. Nipped a long way, might have been missing leg. No reviews left. Yep, going down leg.. 197/9
40.5 to A Zampa, all over! Full delivery, Zampa aims to swing through the leg side, gets an inside edge into middle stump. 198/10
1004614.60282100
7.1 to TM Head, done him! A maiden ODI wicket. Holds this one back, Head charges down and misses. Rickelton had a lot of time to complete the stumping. How South Africa needed that. Might have actually clipped the off stump on the way. 60/1
1013353.30352010
8.1 to M Labuschagne, given lbw! Wow. Round the wicket, grips and straightens, lovely delivery, Labuschagne caught on the back foot. At the last second he calls for the review. Has it pitched outside leg? No, pitches in line and smashing the top of middle. Superb start for Maharaj. That turned sharply. Three reds, too, so a lost review. 61/2
10.1 to C Green, he's got another! And it's a ripper. Pitches around middle off, straightens past the edge as Green lunges forward, clips the outside of off stump. That's a beauty from a left-arm spinner. 67/3
12.2 to JP Inglis, through him! That's a poor stroke. On the back foot, aiming through the off side, exposes all the stumps and misses this by a long way. 75/4
12.3 to AT Carey, huge appeal and given lbw! What is going on? Goes for a sweep first ball, it's very full. Plays over it. Carey has called the review. And he's gone. Smashing into off stump. 75/5
16.2 to AM Hardie, he's got five! What a night for Maharaj. It's another lovely delivery. Full at middle stump, Hardie lunges forward a bit like Green, spins past the edge to take off stump. 89/6
