    6.3 just back of a lenght, Warner goes for it and spoons it to Malan at cover! That's a handy breakthrough for South Africa as this pair were looking pretty comfortable 50/1
    28.2 that's brilliant from Nortje! The perfect follow-up, much fuller length, outside off, proper pace once more. Finch stays leg-sided, perhaps a touch reluctant to put his body behind those wheels, and his uppish off-balance drive snags the thinnest of outside edges! 158/4
    12.4 oh, nice from Ngidi! Fuller delivery, right on target and Smith sends it straight to midwicket, where Jon-Jon Smuts gobbles up the catch! 81/2
    12.5 oh my! Back of a length, it spat up, Labuschagne flashed at it and it went flying straight to the man at point! Janneman Malan takes the catch. Ngidi is on a hat-trick 81/3
    41.4 well played by Shamsi and he is rewarded! That outside-off line again, Short steps back, tries to make room and takes a lusty swing, only to find Janneman Malan at point. Good breakthrough for South Africa! 224/5
    44.1 oh wow! That was a pearler from Phehlukwayo! Prime yorker, it beats the batsman on length, it beats everything in fact and sends leg stump tumbling! 238/6
    48.2 full, outside off, he's tried to flick it over his shoulder and de Kock takes the catch ... but the wicket is not given! Hold on, as South Africa call for the DRS, Carey starts walking! It's confirmed that he hit it. That's a maiden five-for in ODI's for Ngidi! 263/8
    46.5 on middle stump, Agar lofts it down high down the ground and he's walking with his head down before it even begins to drop. He knows the man at long-on will swallow it ... and Maharaj does! 257/7
    48.5 outside off, slower ball and he sends it down the ground to Smuts, who takes a simple catch at mid-on. Six wickets for Ngidi! 266/9
    49.6 and that's a wicket on the last ball! It's pitching right in line with middle, full, it hits him low on the front foot as he steps across his stumps looking to turn the ball down to fine leg. He calls for the review, but that's well and truly gone and it's confirmed 271/10

    0.3 cleaned up yet again! Oh wow, Starc has got de Kock's number in the white-ball formats. As in the first T20I, and the third T20I, and now the second ODI, de Kock is beaten by the left-arm angle, shaping into his body, luring him into a fateful cross-batted waft, and leading to an emphatic shivering of his timbers! No swing to speak of, but the threat of swing has completely scrambled Quinnie's technique 1/1
    20.4 just back of a length and outside off, Smuts falls for it! He takes him on and lofts the ball down the ground and picks out long-on. Big breakthrough for Australia! 92/2
    23.5 back of a length, outside off, the batsman swings wildly and lobs it straight to mid-wicket! He played across it and picked out Marsh for a simple catch 103/3
    38.3 twisting onto a good length once more, Klaasen drops his stance into a rowdy slog-sweep, but there's a spiralling top-edge, and Aaron Finch is underneath it at square leg!. A massive moment in this game, Klaasen has been the more forceful member of this partnership, but now the onus is on Malan to keep it ticking as he closes in on his hundred ... 184/4
