- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.3 KNOCKS HIM OVER! Burger, round the wicket, sends a length ball that nips back and kisses the top of the stumps, as Gurbaz swings and misses. He takes the applause for a superb innings as he makes his way back. What a knock! 189/217.3 Markram spins around for an lbw appeal and the finger goes up. Hassan, though, has reviewed the on-field out decision. On a good length and turning in to beat the inside edge and thud into the pad above the knee-roll. Is height an issue here? Nope. Ball-tracking indicates that it would've crashed into leg stump. Hassan has to depart for 29 as SA finally produce a breakthrough 88/139.3 Maiden ODI wicket for Peter! Soak it in. Rahmat leaves his crease, swings so very hard and loses his shape. Peter sees the advancing batter, drags his length back, and has the batter missing his shot altogether. The keeper does the rest 216/346.1 Holes out to Bavuma at extra-cover! Slower ball into the pitch and away from the swinging arc of Nabi. Good execution at the death from Ngidi. Nabi slogs and skies it to the SA captain 271/4Extras22 (b 4, lb 8, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL311/4 (50 Overs, RR: 6.22)Fall of wickets: 1-88 (Riaz Hassan, 17.3 ov), 2-189 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 34.3 ov), 3-216 (Rahmat Shah, 39.3 ov), 4-271 (Mohammad Nabi, 46.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 TAKEN! It's a short one and Bavuma attempts a pull shot, but can only top-edge it straight high up into the air. Nabi is present at square leg and after what seems like an age, claims the ball with some safe hands. 73/117.5 Rashid thinks he has his man and indeed! He wheels away in celebration. Pushed across off from over the wicket, de Zorzi aims to drive it through cover with an open face but can only snick it behind to the keeper. Rashid - injured hamstring and all - strikes in his first over 85/222.3 Kharote knocks over Hendricks with his third ball. This is a delightful delivery. Nice and full, drifts in from left-arm around towards middle, then rips away past the outside edge to hit the top of off stump. Hendricks kept playing back to spin, now he has to depart 98/333.2 GONE! THE BIRTHDAY BOY HAS FIVE! Rashid Khan with another peach of a delivery, the googly that deceives Markram as he rocks back on the backfoot and misses. Rashid hits the stumps. 131/923.3 Stubbs shuffles across off for a sweep and the ball lobs off the thigh pad to leg slip. Or maybe it lobbed up off the forearm? Nabi moved across from slip to leg slip to catch the ball. Afghanistan have asked for a review of the on-field not-out call. Okay, hang on, UltraEdge detects that there's a spike when the ball is next to the glove. There are also some murmurs before the ball touches the glove. Some frames then suggest there's a spike when the ball is on the glove. There's a bigger spike when the ball hits the forearm. The on-field not-out decision has been reversed in the end. Rashid bags the big scalp of Stubbs who isn't pleased one bit. Happy Birthday, Rashid! 103/423.5 big-turning wrong'un from Rashid, Verreynne does not pick the variation and has been given out lbw. He asks for a review. Has he inside-edged it onto the pad? Pad first. Ball-tracking indicates that it would've just clipped leg stump, enough for umpire's call to be upheld. Rashid is on a roll in Sharjah 105/525.4 another appeal for lbw, the finger goes up once again. Mulder has reviewed this. Full, angling in towards middle and turns away to beat the outside edge as Mulder plays back and gets beaten, wearing it on the pad below the knee-roll. Ball-tracking suggests it would have crashed into off stump. Rashid and co. are running through SA in Sharjah 111/626.2 fizzing arm ball from Kharote! Sliding in flat and fast from wide on the crease, Fortuin plays back but the ball keeps low and rearranges his stumps. Afg spinners continue to dominate SA 112/732.1 PLUMB! Kharote sends in a quicker one, and it straightens up as it hits Peter on the pads right on the middle. No doubt from the umpire and his finger goes straight up. 127/834.2 DONE! AFGHANISTAN WIN THE SERIES 2-0!
