Well, that's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. An incredible day of cricket - one for everyone to remember. We'll see you in the series finale after a day's break tomorrow. See you then. But before we go, a thank you on behalf of Binoy George, Ranjith P, Shashank Kishore and myself Sreshth Shah for joining us today.

Fakhar Zaman is the Man of the Match for his 193 - a rare award for someone in the losing team. "Feels great but you know it would be much better if we won the game. Tried my level best, but good thing was that we fought till the end...that was the good thing. I was talking to every guy at the crease that if you take 15-20 balls, the wicket is good. But it wasn't easy for newcomers. One side boundary was short, and that was my plan - to target it. I was just waiting for the message, looking for partnership, but that wasn't in our hands. When the run-rate was going over 11, I was just hitting. I was trying, but you know, it's a funny game. Good thing for us was we got close. I can't say if it's my best innings. I enjoyed it, but if we had won I would've said this is my best. But since we didn't, I can't say that."

Babar Azam "Fakhar's innings was one of the best I've seen. Fantastic, unfortunate he couldn't finish it. Till Fakhar was playing, I had hope. I think if he had a few other batsmen stood by with him, we would've won. Fakhar was doing all alone. The mistakes we have done, we will try to fix them next game."

Temba Bavuma "Super happy. That's what we came here to do - knew we had to win to stay in the series. The innings he played, probably the best I have come across. The bowlers were trying to be clear. Unfortunately, everything he was trying came off. Credit to him. There's an opportunity for us as a fielding team to dissect what happened in that period and what areas we can improve on. I was thinking about taking wickets when they were seven down, that's why we got Shamsi in, but got to give him credit when it's due. In terms of our batting, I felt batting was tough up front when I came in. In the morning, there is something for the bowlers. When I came in with Quinny, it was about building a partnership and inject some momentum. Allowed one of our first three batsmen play deep allowed Rassie and David to play their cameos. We'll be trying to clear our minds and rest our bodies before the final game. Two games with one day's rest isn't easy. Make sure when we come back for the next ODI, we want to cover our bases. There's that dynamic also, that our IPL boys are going to represent us there, so we'll have some discussions between the coach and the selectors. And hopefully the guys who come in are mentally ready to do it for the team."

Stick around for the presentation.

6.13pm Another cracking ODI, just like the first one. Although Fakhar Zaman did his best to pull off the impossible, it was the three-wicket haul at the top from Anrich Nortje that set up South Africa's win after they scored 341. Don't forget the blistering half-century from David Miller, the cameo from Rassie van der Dussen and the two anchoring knocks from Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma. It's also Bavuma's first win as ODI captain.

Stat alert: Highest % of team's tally in a completed ODI innings for Pakistan: 59.57 - Fakhar Zaman (193 out of 324/9) 59.32 - Saeed Anwar (194 out of 327/5)

Sanad Kheshgi: "Clapping from South african dressing room for fakhar show that it is the game of gentlemen. Great stuff!"

Koustav: "Why did Hasnain not come at number 9? He can clobber them at will"

Arun: "22 off 1 ball... SA is happy this time"

Kapil Baldawa: "Only if 2 players, Shadab and Asif Ali had played sensibly and shown some intent, Pakistan might have pulled it off easily. Just can't see how Asif Ali gets games for Pakistan. Haider Ali and Sarfaraz have to play for Aziz n Asif Ali"

Ngidi to bowl the final over. Pakistan need 30 to force a Super Over, 31 to win. But Fakhar needs eight for a double ton!
