Man of the Match: Shaun Pollock

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.

Abdul Razzaq to Smith, SIX, 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.

Abdur Rehman to Smith, SIX, 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!

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

Abdur Rehman 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 Rehman 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

Abdur Rehman to Smith, no run, some turn there. Breaks in from outside off, Smith shapes to cut and then is cramped by the extra turn and pushes it out to point

Abdur Rehman to de Villiers, 1 run, from round the stumps, drifts one on to the pads as he attempts a arm-ball, glanced away for a single
  • 'One of the best bowling performances I've seen' - Smith

    Graeme Smith, the South African captain, heaped praise on his bowlers for decimating Pakistan and setting up a ten-wicket win at Cape Town

  • Seamers set up crushing win

    Shaun Pollock, supported by an assembly line of bristling seamers, set Pakistan up for the kill, before South Africa's openers finished it with a lack of mercy that Jack the Ripper would've shivered at

  • Winning momentum up for grabs

    Unless Pakistan can persuade the ICC to give them an extension on naming their World Cup squad this will be the last time these two teams play with a chance of swaying opinions
