Crash! That booming slap slog does it. South Africa romp home to a 10-wicket win. Smith backed away to leg side and swung a length-delivery over the on side ring. Awesome strike to bring up the win. Both the batsmen had a party out there, none of the Pakistan players were invited to it. Balls disappeared over mid-on, mid-off, midwicket and where not as they bludgeoned 13 fours and 3 sixes.

So South Africa have clinched a facile win and go up 2-1 in the five-match series. One more game left, can Pakistan come back to level the series. They have the talent, can they get it all together? This is Sriram Veera, signing off. Join George Binoy for the last game of the series. Good bye and good luck.

Abdur to Smith, SIX runs
Murder! Flat-batted heave over long leg. Just leans forward, fetches a full-delivery from outside off and swings it over leg side. South Africa are looting runs here. Daylight robbery!

cut away! turns in slightly from outside off stump, bit of width there and he carves it past backward point

Abdur to de Villiers, 3 runs
dropped by Asif! What's more he gives away an extra run. It was short of length, on middle stump line, de Villiers backs away to pull but gets too much under the ball and it heads towards cow corner. Asif runs from mid-on, reaches it but clangs it. And then he doesn't react quickly and they rush across for another run

Abdur to Smith, 1 run
this time he walks across the stumps so that he can work with the turn and flicks it to behind square leg
