Hruday: "18-year-old Maphaka is cooler under the pressure of playing international cricket than I (much older) am at watching it!"

Lizaad Williams: "I saw a bit of grip in the wicket. West Indies are a very big boundary-hitting team. It is a loose wicket... I'm just grateful for the opportunity. I just try to make the best out of [it]. LeBron James is my sporting idol, and it is his celebration [I used]. It's a very good total. The powerplay will be the best phase to bat; hopefully we can utilise it."

4.39pm West Indies smash 68 off the last six overs, after South Africa kept them in check in the middle overs. Hope scored 41 in quick time at the top, before the newer batters struggled to get going due to the slowness of the pitch. But Powell and Rutherford have ensured that the visitors will have to work hard to level the series, adding 47 for the fifth wicket. Join Ekanth for the chase to see where this goes.

Baartman to Shepherd, SIX, belted high over long-on! He gets on top of this short ball around fifth stump, which is also bowled at a change of pace. My first impression was that it came off the higher side of the bat, and hence wouldn't travel far, but who am I to know?
