  • Lungi Ngidi10-2-34-1
  • Rassie van der Dussen1-0-3-1

With that, join us after a 30-minute break, as Raghav brings you the chase.

Alan: "Should never be a dot on the last ball. Always run, no matter how unlikely it'll be successful"

Andrew: "I think Bangladesh are 30 runs short. "

Here's Rabada speaking after his five-for: "A must-win game for us. Nothing much changes in any game, just try to execute your plans. We bowled up front in Centurion, but we didn't get wickets. It happens that way. We bowled better there, but didn't get wickets. That's just the way cricket goes: you just need to keep applying your basics as well as you can. I cannot that first five-for ever [against Bangladesh in 2015]. A lot of work to do here. Would have been happy to chase less. We worked hard to get ourselves in this position."

Fazu: "Can Bangladesh borrow some unused runs from the previous match?" --- How many would you think they were?

1.42pm From 34 for 5 to 194, Bangladesh will take this total from where they sat at in the 13th over. It was all about Rabada and men making merry at the beginning, before Afif, Mahmudullah and Mehidy got down to do the dirty job. A massive credit to them - especially Afif's 72 - for making a fight out of this. South Africa will feel they conceded a few too many after that commanding start, but they will be happy chasing less than 200 in a must-win match.

Ngidi to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, it's a dot ball to finish. On a fuller length and outside off, as he is beaten by the lack of pace again. Has a heave, but doesn't connect

Final ball of the innings. A six or a four maybe? They need six for 200.

Ngidi to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, yorker on off, and jammed down to the right of the bowler

Ngidi to Taskin Ahmed, no run, good length ball, and an offcutter wide of off. He swings and misses since that was far from him

Around the wicket

Ngidi to Mustafizur Rahman, 1 run, sliced away, and Markram produces a brilliant effort after turning around and running from point! In fact he stuck his right hand out, and the ball even clipped his fingertips. So it will go down as a difficult drop. Another good length bowled with a change of pace outside off, and he had a heave but sent that sailing

Ngidi to Mustafizur Rahman, 1 wide, this is much fuller and pretty wide of off. Change of pace again, and left alone
49.2

Ngidi to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, slower delivery. On a good length and with a scrambled seam just outside off. Fizz tries to swing to the leg side, but is beaten

Over the wicket to Fizz.

Eusha: "Even if Bangladesh loses, they should not be disheartened. They recovered from 37/5 to a reasonable total" --- You are right, but who knows where we sit at a few hours later?

Ngidi to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, yorker length ball on off, and dragged to deep point with the open face of the bat

Stefan: "Over of the innings from RvdD!"

van der Dussen to Mustafizur Rahman, 1 run, a slinging action now. Good length on middle again, and this is pushed to long-on

He runs in, but doesn't bowl...
