7.40 pm During the break, here's some IPL banter to keep your appetite whetted. Less than 24 hours for the tournament now, and on our podcast, Aakash Chopra and company wonder about Delhi Capitals: new name, new game? Or more of the same? Listen in.
7.35 pm South Africa have ended up with a good total. The second-wicket partnership between Hendricks and van der Dussen set it up. They lost some momentum when the two fell, but Duminy played a little gem to give them the thrust at the end. "I think the wristspinners can turn the ball a bit, but I don't expect it to spin a lot," says Vandersay. "Confident of chasing it, though we gave away a few runs extra at the end."

NLTC Perera to Miller, FOUR, what a shot to finish yorker on leg stump, he was moving across, but moved his right foot out of the way while jamming his bat down at the same time, making terrific contact to send the ball screaming to the square leg fence

1
NLTC Perera to Duminy, 1 run, swiped across the line for a single
19.4
1
NLTC Perera to Miller, 1 run, review for lbw moved far across and is struck on the pads, and the ball rolls to short fine. He had moved very far across and was struck on the boot. The umpire gave it as a leg-bye so he reckons no bat. The replays indicate a big spike when the ball passes the bat, so that will go as a run and not out

1
NLTC Perera to Duminy, 1 run, low full toss, swiped across the line, but deep midwicket is in position to clean up
19.2
2
NLTC Perera to Duminy, 2 runs, yorker outside off that time, but Duminy is equal to it, moves across and flick-drives it past the bowler to pick up two
19.1
6
NLTC Perera to Duminy, SIX, that one's out of here bad ball, too full on the pads and he's picked it up beautifully to deposit it well into the crowd at square leg
Anton: "The extra ball as a result of that wide call in the last over ended up going for 6. Cost Sri Lanka 7 runs". Yes, and that is the kind of thing our Luck Index will deal with. It's a fascinating new tool

Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, nails the yorker, but dealt with well, by going deep in his crease and whipping to deep midwicket
18.5
1b
Malinga to Miller, 1 bye, beats him completely again slower ball on the stumps, he was looking to go over deep square leg. Connects only with air and the ball goes just above the stumps

Malinga to Miller, no run, slower ball outside off that time, and he beats him completely. Too early into the drive

Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, back of a length on the stumps, he moves back and pulls it to deep square leg
18.2
4
Malinga to Duminy, FOUR, Duminy is turning it on moves back and across and read the slower ball, which was a bit too short. He's waiting for it and pulls it behind square

1lb
Malinga to Miller, 1 leg bye, on the pads, but he can't get it past short fine. Missed out. Didn't even get bat on it, it went off the pad

6
Udana to Duminy, SIX, that's a Duminy special stayed still in his crease and this was in his arc, so it's out of the park. Half-volley well outside off and he frees his arms, lifts this over extra cover. Super timing and power on that, carries it all the way
17.5
1
Udana to Miller, 1 run, full and wide outside off, he gets down low and carves it to deep point
17.4
1
Udana to Duminy, 1 run, back of a length on off, goes for the pull, mistimes to square leg
17.4
1w
Udana to Duminy, 1 wide, Duminy had moved a long way across, and Udana bowled it wide of off, but went beyond the tram line. Called a wide. Again a bit unlucky. If the batsman is moving so far across, the bowler should be allowed to bowl it a bit wider
17.3

Udana to Duminy, FOUR, smashing shot it was there to be hit, half volley outside off, Duminy clears his leg and carves it over extra cover
