1
19.4: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, OUT! RUN OUT! Lost for words.... We have a SUPER OVER! Fuller delivery, around off, Noor Ahmad strokes it wide of long off where Marco Jansen runs across and sweeps it off. Easy two but maybe there is some tiredness in the batter's leg. Marco Jansen throws it to Rabada, Fazalhaq Farooqi struggles but puts in a solid dive to get to the non-striker's end. Kagiso Rabada holds his nerves as he picks up the throw, a touch out of his reach but flicks the bails off quickly. The replay loads - Fazalhaq Farooqi has his bat in the air.

19.4: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, NO BALL AGAIN! Kagiso Rabada, what are you doing? This is unlike this speedster. He is clearly feeling the pressure. Bowls a fuller delivery on middle, Noor Ahmad lofts it down to long on for a couple of runs. Noor Ahmad keeps the strike but the SIREN GOES OFF ONCE AGAIN. It's a FREE HIT...

0
19.3: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, Finally, a dot ball. Full and straight, tailing in, dabbed down to long on for a dot ball.

6
19.2: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, SIX! From having the game in hand, South Africa are now on the brink of throwing it all away. Noor Ahmad has hit a couple of unbelievable sixes. Short of a length and over middle, Noor hangs back, makes a bit of room by moving to the leg side and wallops the pull over deep square leg for a biggie. 5 needed now off 4 balls.

0
19.1: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, PUT DOWN! But it was a Free Hit anyway. Pitched up fuller around off, Noor Ahmad stays put and launches it down to long off where Marco Jansen spills it. No run is taken.

1WD
19.1: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, WIDE! Pressure on KG! Full and sliding down the leg side. Noor Ahmad looks to flick but misses. The Free-Hit continues...

0
19.1: Kagiso Rabada to Noor Ahmad, NO BALL! What drama! Oh, boy! Who wrote the script? This is full and around off, Ahmad looks to flick it away but miscues his shot as it was a slower delivery. It goes off the top edge to cover where the fielder takes the catch. But the SIREN GOES OFF and it's called a No Ball. Free Hit coming up....

18.6: Marco Jansen to Noor Ahmad, OUT! MUJEEB UR RAHMAN IS RUN OUT! This should settle the nerves in the Proteas dugout! This is full and around off, in the blockhole. Ahmad squeezes it out to the left of Jansen, around the deck. A mix-up as both the batters are stranded, looking for a single. Meanwhile, Marco Jansen runs across, picks up and hits the bullseye at the batter's end.

0
18.5: Marco Jansen to Noor Ahmad, Overpitched, outside off. Ahmad fails to get underneath and digs it out to cover.

6
18.4: Marco Jansen to Noor Ahmad, SIX! Out of nowhere! Well, we are not done yet because Ahmad has different ideas. In the slot, a touch fuller and touch wider. Noor Ahmad steps inside the line and thumps it down the ground to long on for a six.

0
18.3: Marco Jansen to Rashid Khan, OUT! KHAN GOES! This could be the game for the Proteas! Marco Jansen bowls a nice deceptive slower delivery, wide of the hitting arc of Khan, fuller delivery. Rashid Khan throws his blade and drags his shot. A nothing shot, actually and hits it down the ground. David Miller covers a lot of ground from long on. He runs to his left, slides and takes a brilliant catch. South Africa keeping their standards high in the field. A valiant 20 off 12 for Rashid.

2
18.2: Marco Jansen to Rashid Khan, George Linde puts in a solid effort as he runs back to chase the ball but in the process, he might have pulled his hamstring. Shorter delivery, outside off, Rashid Khan plays his famous ramp shot but slices it behind point. George Linde runs back from backward point, slides in the deep and keeps it down to two.

1WD
18.2: Marco Jansen to Rashid Khan, WIDE! Tries the slower ball but delivers it well over the tramline outside off.

0
17.5: Lungi Ngidi to Azmatullah Omarzai, OUT! TAKEN! Wonderful catch from Stubbs. Should we even call this a stunner? These players are making it look so easy nowadays. Lungi Ngidi misses his mark and bowls a slower delivery in the slot. Azmatullah Omarzai launches it down to long on but fails to power it much. Omarzai thought he cleared the fence but Tristan Stubbs holds his nerves at the edge of the boundary line, picks up the catch over his head but just as he was losing his balance, he lobs it up, goes beyond the boundary and then gets back in to collect the catch again. It's fair in the replays. 24 needed off 13 balls.

1
17.4: Lungi Ngidi to Rashid Khan, An off-cutter, pings off the surface as Ngidi bowls in the deck. Khan fends it away to square leg for a single.

0
17.3: Lungi Ngidi to Rashid Khan, Much better from Ngidi! A wide yorker, outside off, removes all the pace off it. Rashid Khan tries to guide it away but misses.

4
17.1: Lungi Ngidi to Azmatullah Omarzai, FOUR! Nicely picked! Lungi Ngidi spills out a low full toss, drifting on the pads. Omarzai helps it away to the left of the diving short fine leg fielder. No chance for the man in the deep as well. A boundary.

0
19.6: Azmatullah Omarzai to Marco Jansen, OUT! TAKEN! A wicket to end proceedings in the first innings. Another off-paced delivery from Azmatullah Omarzai, bowled into the surface and there's that tennis-ball-like bounce on display again. Marco Jansen fetches to pull but gets a top edge over mid on. Sediqullah Atal comes in from the deep and slides in to take a solid catch. Jansen's cameo of 16 (7) comes to an end and South Africa finish with 187/6 on the board.

6
18.5: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Marco Jansen, SIX! Marco Jansen is on the charge! Slower ball, on the shorter side and outside off. Sits up for the tall Jansen and he just waits back before swatting it back over the bowler's head for a biggie. 17 off it already.

2
18.4: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Marco Jansen, Even fuller and outside off, squeezed away to the left of sweeper cover this time for a couple of runs more.

4
18.3: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Oh, that should have been stopped. Farooqi comes around the wicket to Jansen and angles in a full ball from outside off. MJ gets low and strokes it on the up, wide of Ibrahim Zadran at sweeper cover and he is unable to make up the ground to his right.

1
18.2: Fazalhaq Farooqi to David Miller, Gets the yorker spot-on this time, does Farooqi. Full and straight, tailing in a bit. Miller digs it out in front of square leg and picks up a single.

Back to over the wicket for the right-hander, pitched up fuller and on off. Stubbs lunges across and tries to lap it away but ends up angling it towards short fine leg. Mujeeb Ur Rahman clings on to a low catch down to his left and Stubbs has to walk back after making just 1 (2).

0
17.5: Azmatullah Omarzai to David Miller, BYE! Slower one into the pitch, this is bowled from around the wicket. Miller looks to pull and misses. The keeper gets a bad bounce and the ball deflects off his pads to short third. The batters get a bye.

2
