Zimbabwe reach a respectable 144/6 after being 55/3 at the halfway stage. That's courtesy the 60 runs they scored in the six overs between 11 and 16. Bennett struggled in the powerplay but he led the way in the 78-run fourth wicket stand that resurrected their innings. He finished with 61, top-scoring. But is the total enough? Doubt it.

As for South Africa, Bosch benefitted with the pressure the other powerplay bowlers put on Zimbabwe to take two scalps in the first six. His yorkers later ensured he finished with 4-0-16-2. Burger the other bowler to get at under six per over. When we'll be back, Ekanth will be ready to call the chase.

Bennett: "We'd like to have got more runs but now over to the bowlers. On that kind of wicket you need to give yourself time to get used to it. An extra 15-20 runs were needed but we'll come out there in the fielding effort."

Burger to Burl, FOUR, short and wide outside off. Pace taken off too. Burl jumps and cuts it, and has enough behind the shot to get a four at deep extra cover! Brevis did extremely well to initially get his hand to the ball but he can't recover well enough to save the boundary on his second dig
