    22.5 Head gets one to hold into the pitch and QDK slices it to Warner at backward point. It was wide on a length, QDK seemed to be shaping for the slashing cut but was done in by the lack of pace and a bit of turn away. He tried pulling out of the shot - bottom hand came off but it was too late. Nice low catch for Warner. Part timer gets a bonus. 146/1
    23.6 Sangha has his maiden ODI wicket and it's a bit of a softie. Wide on a fullish length, Bavuma tried to slash it hard. It hovered low and went straight to cover. Bavuma plants his bat into the ground and looks down 150/2
    35.5 direct hit! This will be tight. Hendricks pushed into the covers, Labuschange collected nicely and hit. And, yes, he's just short. Terrific piece of fielding. Excellent decision to go for the bowlers' end. Hendricks was only running half pace and it cost him 226/3

    36.3 gone! Two quick ones for Australia. Goes for the sweep, finger is up quickly but the review is called for. Pitches on, straightens, this looks good. Smashing middle half way up. Not a good review. And a bad few minutes for South Africa 228/4
    41.3 and the pressure tells! Miller walks at Stoinis, aims over the leg side and gets a big leading edge which is well taken by Marsh moving back from mid-on 244/5
    46.4 oh my goodness, Sean Abbott! That is unbelieveable. He is a brilliant fielder, but this is spectacular. Jansen nailed a lofted, skimming cover drive, Abbott runs around at deep cover, sticks out his left hand, dives and manages to hold onto the ball. This has gone upstairs to see if Abbott is in control of the ball...third umpire rules he is, and it gets more amazing with every replay 307/6

    18.5 chaos out there! Warner slipped after playing the stroke, working the ball to midwicket, he lost his shoe! Tried to recover to make the run. Brought out the dive but there's a direct hit and he's gone 157/3
    7.5 Head holes out to mid-on. Full ball in the mid 130ks from around the wicket, Head tried to launch it over the infield. Bat-face turned inwards and it went to Coetzee around shoulder height. 79/1
    14.6 Marsh goes on the other side, holes out to long-on. Ball was fullish outside off, looked to be spinning inward. Bat face turned inside as he hit it and Miller took the catch. Shamsi hops and yells in delight. 140/2
    20.5 and Shamsi gets his man! Lovely piece of bowling. He's done him with a perfect googly. Labuschagne using his feet, beaten all ends up, spins past the edge. Neat work from de Kock 165/4
    30.4 Slower one keeps low, middle and off stumps disturbed. Legcutter on a length, went away after landing around leg and middle. Carey was on the back foot, tried to work the bally away as it scooted but couldn't. 200/8
    23.6 lovely bowling! Wider outside off, spins and beats Stoinis' drive. De Kock whips off the bails. Think he's okay. Delightful piece of left-arm spin. There's a bit of movement with the back foot. Third umpire wants to check it's grounded...well, well, he's gone! The foot is in the air. Millimeters in it What brilliant work by de Kock. 178/5
    28.2 pulled to midwicket! The fielder isn't sure. This will go upstairs. Short of a length, David crunches the pull, reaches midwicket very close to the ground. Looks like fingers are under it at first look. Or does it squeeze through? I think fingers are under that. And so does the third umpire. David not impressed, neither is the Australia dressing room 194/6
    29.1 through him! Very similar to the first game of the series. Pushed through at the stumps, smashes into middle 198/7
    34.3 Slashed again, Hendricks runs in from deep point and takes it. A huge cheer from the crowd as South Africa keep the series alive. They join in for the Waka Waka chorus as the players shake hands. Length ball just outside off, Ellis cleared the front foot and had a swipe. Coetzee finishes with a four-for. 227/10
    32.1 Sangha shows all his stumps, Coetzee duly rattles middle and off. Premeditation from the batter as he tried to slap it over cover. Ball was too fast for him. 200/9
