he bashes that one straight, down on one knee, and finishes yet another match with a six.

South Africa now have six points, they're fourth in the table and it means West Indies are all-but-out of it and they will need South Africa to lose both matches.
Thanks very much for joining us today, I hope you come back tomorrow where it will be Will and I once more as we follow the fortunes of Bangladesh and England.

Smith to Collymore, SIX runs
49.5
1
Smith to Powell, 1 run
driven out to long-off and they stay for the single. Ah, so near...
So the final contest of the day will be: can Powell get his fifty? That's Powell, whose previous highest in this form was 6. Not bad whatever happens.
49.4
1
Smith to Collymore, 1 run
prods and runs, giving him the strike back.
49.3
1
Smith to Powell, 1 run
driven to long-off and that's a single. He just stood there, expecting a boundary and missed out - he could have come back for two. Will he be kicking himself shortly?
49.2
•
Smith to Powell, no run
backs away, backs away, and Smith follows him, sending it down leg, it's played back out to the covers.
49.2
1w
Smith to Powell, 1 wide
Powell comes down the track and nearly gets himself stumped off a wide. What a fate that would have been.

Hall to Collymore, no run
up there again and that's driven to the man at long-off
48.6
1w
Hall to Collymore, 1 wide
bouncer, and that's called wide - a touch harsh, maybe
48.5
•
Hall to Collymore, no run
slower ball, overpitches the would-be yorker and that's a shin-high full toss. They're not easy to deal with, of course, and that was driven to mid-on
48.4
1
Hall to Powell, 1 run
yorker length, well dug out down the ground for a single

West Indies are entertaining right to the last (hurrah) here.
"Various theories abound," continues Will (there's no stopping him, "such as shepherds playing it who would hit a stone with their crooks, which was known as a 'cricce'." Tremendous geekage there.

2
Smith to Collymore, 2 runs
spears that one in at the legs, but it's turned patiently square
47.5
•
Smith to Collymore, no run
outside off, and the batsman chases that nearly-wide
47.4
1
Smith to Powell, 1 run
taken off the toes and that's swished to midwicket
47.3
2
Smith to Powell, 2 runs
turns that back in at him and it pops up awkwardly; he does well to open the face and without really controlling it, work it down to third man
47.2
6
Smith to Powell, SIX runs
another one! That was like watching a replay, what a great shot. The crowd, needless to say, well you know what they're doing
47.1
6
Smith to Powell, SIX runs
drags that one down and that's a huge shot! Down the track and smashed in front of midwicket
