- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR27.2 No back to back centuries for Gurbaz and Afghanistan are in big trouble. On a length outside off, he jumps down the track looking to possibly go over extra cover. Instead he slices this and sweeper cover takes a good catch diving forward 132/76.3 Given out LBW by the umpire! Malik plays all around a straight one, might have been the off cutter from Ngidi. Yes, it was. Looks like there was no inside edge, as Malik had a long chat with Gurbaz before even deciding to a review. And ball tracking returns three reds. Abdul Malik's first ODI innings is cut short, and it's a well-deserved wicket for Ngidi, who has started off superbly in this game. 27/18.5 That is the most remarkable run out at the non-striker's end! Rahmat has effectively run himself out. Gurbaz drives it down the ground, Ngidi puts his right hand out and deflects the ball onto Rahmat's body, from where it goes back onto the stumps. Rahmat is short of his ground. Lucky break for South Africa. 38/215.1 Oh that is such poor running from Shahidi! He has gifted his wicket to the South Africans. It's a stunning piece of fielding from Stubbs at sweeper cover, which needs to be commended. But Shahidi first took the second run a bit too easy, and then didn't run in a straight line at the end, before getting caught short of the crease. It was a short and wide delivery, while Shahidi steered nicely behind square on the offside. Stubbs hares to the right, picks it up with one hand, and fires in a throw to Verreynne right beside the stumps, leaving the wicketkeeper with not much work to do. However, if Shahidi hadn't just run in a straight line, that bit of fielding from Stubbs might not have brought South Africa the wicket. 74/316.4 Done 'im all ends up! Drifts in and pitches on a length around off stump. It then goes through with that angle. Omarzai plays outside the line of it, perhaps expecting some turn away. In the end, the ball goes through the gap between bat and pad and crashes into middle and stump. Big wicket for South Africa, an excellent ball from Peter. 79/421.4 Oh what do we have here? Another run-out! Afghanistan, what are you doing? Ikram will have to go now. This is good fielding from Bavuma. It's a short ball from Markram, Gurbaz looks to pull it away over the legside boundary, but is too early into that shot, ends up bottom-edging to the left of Bavuma at midwicket. Ikram was about halfway down the pitch, before Gurbaz sends him back. Bavuma picks it up nicely and breaks the stumps down to catch Ikram just short of his ground. 113/526.4 Huge appeal for caught behind, but the umpire stays unmoved. And this time Bavuma has reviewed. Looks like there was a deviation on first glance. And yep, there is a spike on UltraEdge. That was floated outside off, Nabi gets forward, gets a thin outside edge and the keeper does the rest. It's Gurbaz or bust at the moment as far as Afghanistan are concerned. 132/627.4 Second wicket in the over for Phehlukwayo and Afghanistan are going down in a heap. Lands the length ball from the around the wicket angle on off, and Kharote ends up playing down the wrong line only to see his off stump flattened. 133/832.6 Chopped it back on. Sharp back of a length ball onto the body again. He tries to give himself a little bit of room, but the ball rushes onto him. He gets hit on the arm with the ball then disturbing the stumps. 166/933.6 Straight to long-on and Afghanistan are all out for 169. Flatter and fuller on middle and leg. He sort of whips it to long-on with some power and Markram takes a comfortable enough catch. 169/10Extras13 (lb 2, w 11)TOTAL169 all out (34 Overs, RR: 4.97)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Abdul Malik, 6.3 ov), 2-38 (Rahmat Shah, 8.5 ov), 3-74 (Hashmatullah Shahidi, 15.1 ov), 4-79 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 16.4 ov), 5-113 (Ikram Alikhil, 21.4 ov), 6-132 (Mohammad Nabi, 26.4 ov), 7-132 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 27.2 ov), 8-133 (Nangeyalia Kharote, 27.4 ov), 9-166 (Fareed Ahmad, 32.6 ov), 10-169 (Naveed Zadran, 33.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 Big, big appeal for lbw and de Zorzi is a goner. That was as plumb as they get and he is not even bothering to review. Gets the length ball to skid on as de Zorzi stays back and is trapped bang in front. The umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. The ball would have thudded into the middle of middle stump. 62/28.1 TIMBER! Plays down the wrong line and Bavuma sees his off pole disturbed. Pushed quicker on off, Bavuma strides forward, does not cover the line enough and the ball sneaks between bat and pad 40/118.1 Fareed's short ball does the trick and Hendricks has to go! An awful series for Hendricks comes to an end. It was short and rising to around chest height. It was a bit wide outside off too. Hendricks looked for the big pull shot, but gets a top edge that goes straight up, Ikram runs up to near the stumps at the striker's end and takes a straightforward catch. 80/3Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL170/3 (33 Overs, RR: 5.15)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Temba Bavuma, 8.1 ov), 2-62 (Tony de Zorzi, 11.6 ov), 3-80 (Reeza Hendricks, 18.1 ov)
