19.6: Brad Evans to Duan Jansen, A bye to end the innings. 14 runs off the over as South Africa finish on 205/5. Another off-pace delivery, there in the slot, around off. Jansen hangs deep in the crease and swings for the hills but cannot lay any bat on it. Duan is called through for a bye as the ball goes on the bounce to the keeper. Tadiwanashe Marumani lobs it towards the bowler, who turns around and has a shy at the bowling end but misses. Sikandar Raza gets around to his left and prevents a possible second run on the overthrow.

19.5: Brad Evans to Duan Jansen, Off-cutter, on a length, on off. Duan collapses his back knee and slams it back over the bowler's head to the left of long on for a brace.

19.4: Brad Evans to Duan Jansen, Good running. The yorker is nailed this time, on off and middle. Jansen jams it out in front of square on the leg side. The deep mid-wicket fielder is quick off the ropes but cannot prevent the second run from being taken.

19.3: Brad Evans to Duan Jansen, DROPPED, FOUR! That should have been taken. Evans goes for the yorker but ends up with a low full toss, on off. Jansen smears it away uppishly towards backward square leg, where Innocent Kaia is inside the circle. Kaia does not pick it up straight away and is late to react. He leaps to his right and the ball clips his fingertips before going behind towards the fence. South Africa bring up their 200.

19.2: Brad Evans to Duan Jansen, FOUR! Down the hill and into the fence. Evans misses his yorker by a small margin, on off. Jansen reaches out in front and hangs low to take the ball on the full. Smears it away through square leg and the deep mid-wicket fielder is beaten to his right.

19.1: Brad Evans to Eathan Bosch, Right in the blockhole, around the off stump. Bosch can't get under it and whips it down to long on for just a single.

18.6: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, FOUR! Jansen finally gets one away. Blessing takes pace off and hurls it on a good length, on off. Jansen uses his long levers and swings through the line. Hits it wide enough of the long off fielder to pick up a boundary.

18.5: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, Make that five dots in a row. Back to bowling the wide yorker, sneaking inside the guideline. Duan swings at it but misses.

18.4: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, So far, so good by Blessing Muzarabani. Off-cutter, not all that short, on off. Jansen tries to force it away on the off side but chops it down off an underedge as the ball dribbles to the left of the keeper. Four dots in a row.

18.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, On a back of a length, on off. Duan hits it on the rise but straight to extra cover.

18.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, Good change up by Blessing Muzarabani. Takes pace off and drags the length back, on off. Jansen was perhaps expecting another full ball and could not adjust to the length of the ball. He hangs his bat out and is beaten past the outside edge.

18.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, A big swing and a miss. Within the tramline, full in length. Duan flashes but can only connect with thin air.

18.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Duan Jansen, Wide! Just beyond the tramline on off, very full. Jansen throws his hands at the ball but fails to connect.

17.6: Newman Nyamhuri to Eathan Bosch, FOUR! Nicely done. Pitches it up, on middle and leg. Bosch is quick to get the front leg out of the way and he whips it well wide to the right of the man at deep mid-wicket for a four. 15 runs off the over.

17.5: Newman Nyamhuri to Eathan Bosch, Tries the slower one but it comes out as a low full toss, on off, Eathan cracks it away wide of deep extra cover for a couple of runs.

17.4: Newman Nyamhuri to Duan Jansen, A well-executed yorker, on off. Duan hits it down to long off for a run.

17.3: Newman Nyamhuri to Duan Jansen, FOUR! Gets it away. Newman gets the yorker wrong and it comes out as a full toss, on leg. Jansen swats it away behind square leg for a boundary.

17.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Duan Jansen, Good cricket all around. Newman gets the yorker in, on off. Jansen hurriedly gets his bat down and squeezes it out in front of long off. By the time Sikandar Raza can get in off the ropes, the batters charge back for the second run.

17.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Duan Jansen, Wide! Drifts beyond the tramline. Duan initially looks to go after it but then bails out.

17.1: Newman Nyamhuri to Rubin Hermann, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rubin Hermann stands there in absolute disbelief, unhappy with the umpire's decision. Rub of the green goes Zimbabwe's way. Angled into the pads, on a good length. Hermann walks inside the line to swipe it away behind square leg, with the angle of the ball. He is beaten for pace, and the ball lobs up off his thigh pad without seemingly having made any contact with the bat or the glove. The keeper, Tadiwanashe Marumani moves to his right and snaffles it comfortably. No reviews in this tri-series and Rubin has no option but to accept the umpire's verdict.

17.1: Newman Nyamhuri to Rubin Hermann, Wide! That is a harsh call. Rubin moves across the stumps and spotting that, Newman pushes it wider on off. Hermann flashes but fails to connect. The umpire feels that it was wide anyway despite the movement by the batter.
