    23.2 holes out! In search of a boundary, Balbirnie goes for the pull with the ball dug in short. He struck it well but not well enough, and Stubbs runs around the boundary rope to take a reverse-cup catch near his face. Partnership gone and Williams brings out the LeBron James celebration! 101/1

    34.3 Anti-climactic! A nip-backer goes through him! This is full outside off, Stirling was pushing ahead of his body and the ball goes through his defence to crash into the stumps. Excellent knock from the Ireland captain, but no century for him today 179/3

    49.4 length ball angling in. Slows it down. Flicked to deep square leg and Tector is risking taking two runs to get back on strike. Does the dive help him get there? Nooo, gone by more than a few inches. But gone after playing a more-than-handy 60 off 48 balls 282/9

    42.4 terrific from the wicketkeeper! Full ball around off, and Tucker tries to scoop it over the leg side behind. But he lobs the ball high up instead and Rickelton turns, runs behind, tracks the ball going over his shoulder, and dives near the sponsor paint at the bowlers' run-up area behind him to take a sharp catch! 233/4

    44.3 short and wide. Carves a cut using the bowler's pace, but it's been hit too well! Straight down the throat at deep point who doesn't need to move much. Ireland lose their fifth as Reeza obliges in the deep, and appear to lose momentum.... 243/5

    48.1 middle stump flattened! Another batter falls trying to play a scoop or ramp behind them. Full ball on middle stump, and the pace is cranked up. Adair is slow to get in position or play the shot. Replays show he was also too far outside off stump by the end of it 274/6

    48.2 golden duck for the debutant? He's reviewed this LBW call. Welcomed with a full ball around leg stump, and Hand had moved to the off side slightly to flick it fine. It hit the outside of his leg and the umpire was quick to raise the finger. No bat involved, clipping the outside of leg stump, so he will be out on "umpire's call" 274/7

    48.6 Williams finishes with a four-for! It's like his hat-trick ball, except this time it is a yorker that lands at the base of off stump. Goes under Hume's blade, and Williams will end his day with 4-56. 279/8

    0.5 Edged to first slip! Rickelton hangs around for a while, before turning to walk. Stirling throws himself to his left to grab that low. Another length ball angled across Rickelton and this time it gets the edge as he plays late. Rickelton fails to make an impact for the first time this series 4/1

    3.2 Has that carried to second slip? It has and it's a great low catch by Balbirnie. Pitched up on a full length outside off and it straightens, drawing the edge from Hendricks as he looks to defend and it flies to Balbirnie at second slip. Does he get his fingers under that, though? The umpires are having a check. And it seems like he did get his fingers underneath. And Hendricks has to walk back 8/2

    4.1 Adair as his second! Or does he? Van der Dussen reviews. It's a full length ball on off angling in, and it straightens to hit him just above the knee roll of his back foot, with van der Dussen very late to bring his bat down. And that's three reds on ball-tracking and Ireland are off to a flyer! The SA skipper has to walk 10/3

    12.6 celebrappeal! And rightly so! Fullish ball just outside off and sliding into off stump. Verreyne moves too much to the off side before missing the flick, and this has hit him right in front of the stumps. Umpire raises his finger in a flash and Verreyne decides not to review. An enterprising innings ends on 38 59/4

    19.5 edged and taken! Stirling with a fist pump from first slip too because it is Stubbs who falls. Playing away from his body, and this gets the outside edge. Length ball wider outside off. Goes away from Stubbs slightly. He tries to play a flourish-style punch through the off side but the ball kisses his blade. He's gone for a 45-ball 20 79/5

    44.2 game, set...match? Full ball, bit wider outside off. Throws his hands at this to attempt a big shot over the off side. But slices the shot, and it goes straight to deep third for a simple catch. Smith falls for 91 in only his second ODI. An attractive innings, all things considered 209/9

    28.5 oh dear, SA have thrown a wicket with Phehlukwayo trying to hook this short ball. The length was fine for the shot but he can't execute it like how a top-order batter would. Absolutely mistimed, double-hitting, and taken at fine leg. It was a terrific over for the South Africans, but not anymore... 126/6

    35.2 And another one bites the dust. This is pushed through at 104kph and it turns ever so slightly as Fortuin looks to work it leg side. Fortuin misses and hears the death rattle. Ireland closer now to a famous win 159/7

    38.5 helped to the keeper! Tests the lower-order batter with a short ball that makes you smell the leather. Williams awkwardly attempts to play at it, but all he can do is get an edge through to the wicketkeeper 176/8

    46.1 full ball outside off. Goes for a big swing of the bat, but all he gets is the outside edge to the wicketkeeper. A famous win for Ireland - this time winning by 69 runs! 215/10
