South Africa win by 19 runs in what was an entertaining 10-over affair after a lengthy rain delay. In the end, David Miller's 40 off 18 balls gave South Africa a cushion but Niroshan Dickwella provided a superb start to the chase and when Sri Lanka needed 40 off the last three overs they had a chance. However, debutant Lungisani Ngidi took two wickets in his second over and went for just four runs to leave it out of reach. Thanks for staying with us through the rain. We'll be back on Sunday for the second match from the Wanderers but, for now, from Gnasher and Alan it's goodnight and enjoy your weekend.

Parnell to Angelo Mathews, OUT
and they are falling quickly now, but Parnell's got lucky here as a big full toss is heaved straight to deep midwicket. Not quite bowled for and got. They are checking on the no-ball for height, but's okay

Saffer2: "Ngidi gonna get man of the match for that over!" Parnell is back

Ngidi to Angelo Mathews, 1 run
that ends a terrific, and maybe matchwinning over, as Mathews just tucks a length ball into the leg side
7.5
W
Ngidi to Kusal Mendis, OUT
and now we've had a relay catch! A short ball, angled into the hip, it's pulled away towards deep square leg where Kuhn runs around and holds the catch but knows he'll run over the rope, so flicks it back to Tahir who just about manages to keep his composure and hold the take. But he nearly dropped it!
Kusal Mendis c Imran Tahir b Ngidi 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
7.4
1
Ngidi to Angelo Mathews, 1 run
full at leg stump, not quite a yorker, flicked at midwicket...a very handy four deliveries
7.3
1
Ngidi to Kusal Mendis, 1 run
carves over cover, a full delivery, not quite out of the middle
The wicket is also a dot ball, which is almost more priceless. Next man is Mendis
7.2
W
Ngidi to Prasanna, OUT
edged, taken, his first wicket! Back of a length, Prasanna swinging for the hills over the leg side and gets a top edge that also gives Mosehle his first catch
Seekkuge Prasanna c †Mosehle b Ngidi 12 (3b 0x4 2x6) SR: 400
7.1
1
Ngidi to Angelo Mathews, 1 run
short of a length outside off, Mathews gives himself room - almost too much of it - and can only get the toe end of the match towards cover
Ngidi returns. 40 off 18 needed.
