- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Nabi strikes! Good length again, Smith was drawn into the stroke but was onto the ball early, and sent a spiralling chance down to long-off, where the skipper steadied himself to take a fine catch 45/21.1 inswinger, slightly misdirected and flicks the pad, but what's this ... a sharp throw from fine leg as he dallied over his second run ... and that's going to be out! Exceptional fielding, and Afghanistan have their first wicket of the match! 13/112.1 down the leg-side, a loose flick, and that's snaffled! Kallis walks, and Afghanistan have their fourth! 84/410.3 and that's just reward for Afghanistan! De Villiers attacks once again, but is deceived in the flight, and that's an easy stumping as the third wicket falls 77/318.2 belted fiercely out to the covers, but Mangal clings onto a blinder, low to his right, to send Duminy on his way! Another wicket falls, and that was timely in the extreme 133/614.1 full length, dead in front of middle, and that's plumb! Simon Taufel raises the finger, and Afghanistan are having a real go here! 90/519.4 a massive swipe, a vast spiralling top-edge, the captain calls for a steepler, fumbles at the first attempt, but clings onto the rebound. What a showing from Afghanistan! 137/7Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Loots Bosman, 1.1 ov), 2-45 (Graeme Smith, 4.2 ov), 3-77 (AB de Villiers, 10.3 ov), 4-84 (Jacques Kallis, 12.1 ov), 5-90 (Mark Boucher, 14.1 ov), 6-133 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 18.2 ov), 7-137 (Albie Morkel, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 too good from Steyn. Tight line outside off, found a thin edge, and Boucher pouched the chance 1/13.4 short and nasty, Sadiq was backing away but the ball kept coming, and de Villiers at point pocketed a looping gloved catch 8/42.3 cherry-picking from Steyn. Tighter line, a touch less swing, but more bounce, and a simple snick through to the keeper 5/23.1 regulation dismissal. Tight line, unnerving bounce, a simple edge and Kallis at first slip swallows the catch. That was reminiscent of England at Johannesburg 7/36.5 another short ball, a half-formed pull shot, and that's simply snaffled at midwicket. Another step closer to the end of the road 25/73.6 another one bites the dust! Short again, an aggressive mow, a steepling top-edge, and a running catch for Boucher behind the stumps 12/55.1 that's just brutal. Short again, bangs the splice, loops coolly into the slip cordon, and another mugging of a dismissal 14/67.5 a dab to gully and an instant call, but you can't take on AB de Villiers in that position. An instant gather, an under-arm shy, and there's no need to see that one again 32/813.1 good delivery, tight on off stump, swinging in late to beat the inside-edge, and Ashraf's spirited cameo comes to an end 65/915.6 and that, alas, is the end of that. Another short ball, another mow, and another top-edge for Kallis to snaffle as he back-pedalled to collect the catch at slip 80/10Extras11 (lb 1, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL80 all out (16 Overs, RR: 5)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Noor Ali Zadran, 0.3 ov), 2-5 (Mohammad Shahzad, 2.3 ov), 3-7 (Nawroz Mangal, 3.1 ov), 4-8 (Karim Sadiq, 3.4 ov), 5-12 (Raees Ahmadzai, 3.6 ov), 6-14 (Mohammad Nabi, 5.1 ov), 7-25 (Asghar Afghan, 6.5 ov), 8-32 (Samiullah Shinwari, 7.5 ov), 9-65 (Mirwais Ashraf, 13.1 ov), 10-80 (Hamid Hassan, 15.6 ov)
