Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott: I was a lot happier earlier than I am now. To win the games is good, but we still need to be consistent. Certainly think we are a few short. We have helped SA with our decision-making. Our running between the wickets has not been great. Hopefully, we can bowl SA out. [On preparation for Champions Trophy] A good example here is that we play three games in five games. Champions Trophy will also be like that. You can lose one game at the Champions Trophy and be out. You have to be at the top of the game at all times.
6.34pm Some excellent bowling from all the South Africa bowlers and poor decision making from Afghanistan especially with regard to their running sees them bowled out for 169 in 34 over. Gurbaz was once again terrific at the top, smashing 89 off 94 balls. But three run outs did not help Afghanistan's cause. They had even slipped to 132 for 7 before Ghazanfar smashed an unbeaten 31 off 15 to take them past 150. South Africa have so far managed 107 and 134 in the series. Can they chase down 170? We'll find out in a bit.

The kind of backlift Zadran has, don't think he is out there to defend
Naveed Zadran is the last man in. Peter is over the wicket to him

Shadow-Shell: "Are we sure Gurbaz didn't come back disguised as Ghazanfar?" Haha, sure seems that way. Hitting of the highest order.
