- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.1 taken at long-off! Head's fun is over. Round the wicket, he advances down the pitch, looks to send another into the crowd, doesn't quite get the distance this time and it's safely held. A standing ovation for Head is he walks off 250/136.3 top edge straight up and Rickelton runs from behind the stumps to take it! Marsh has blown a huge score. Full, drifting outside leg, he's down to slog sweep it out of the ground and gets a top edge that flies to the square leg umpire and Rickelton does well to get across and take the catch 267/2Extras21 (b 2, lb 3, nb 1, w 15)TOTAL431/2 (50 Overs, RR: 8.62)Fall of wickets: 1-250 (Travis Head, 34.1 ov), 2-267 (Mitchell Marsh, 36.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 edged, taken at second slip! Good length outside off, Markram goes to drive, flies to Green's right. Neat catch, nice bowling 11/14.2 clipped to midwicket! Bit of a gift. On the pads, Rickelton tries to send it through the leg side but can only find Connolly in front of square 31/25.5 dragged on! Bavuma advancing down the pitch to a short-of-a-length delivery, swipes across the line and sends it into the stumps 39/313.3 finds deep midwicket! That's strangled. Dropped short, de Zorzi pulls, comes from low down on the bat, comfortably catch for Carey 107/58.1 taken at cover! Stubbs using his feet, looks to drive through the off side, can't find a gap as Abbott moves swiftly to his right 50/417.2 holes out to long-off! He can't clear Green! Tossed up on off, probably not quite the length to get under, got a little close to it trying to step hit and slices it to Green at long-off 124/619.2 sensational catch from Labuschagne at long-on! Earns his match payment with that and then some! Mulder tries to launch but drags it flat towards long-on, Labuschagne has to sprint in and dive full length forward to pluck it centimetres from the turf. The TV umpire has a long look from every angle but it looks clean. Wonderful catch 135/721.3 another beauty from Labuschagne at long-on! Four for Connolly! Tossed up on middle, he launches to long-on, Labuschagne leaps up at full stretch on the rope and makes a tough catch look very easy. He knew exactly where the rope was and was never off balance. Brilliant outfielding 145/823.5 stumped! Connolly has five! Flighted outside off, Maharaj charges and was nowhere near the pitch trying to slog across the line, easy stumping for Inglis 154/924.5 Head takes a diving catch at a very close backward point! Good length leg break outside off, he reverse sweeps and it balloons high of the glove and Head charges forward to take a diving catch 155/10Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL155 all out (24.5 Overs, RR: 6.24)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Aiden Markram, 1.6 ov), 2-31 (Ryan Rickelton, 4.2 ov), 3-39 (Temba Bavuma, 5.5 ov), 4-50 (Tristan Stubbs, 8.1 ov), 5-107 (Tony de Zorzi, 13.3 ov), 6-124 (Dewald Brevis, 17.2 ov), 7-135 (Wiaan Mulder, 19.2 ov), 8-145 (Corbin Bosch, 21.3 ov), 9-154 (Keshav Maharaj, 23.5 ov), 10-155 (Kwena Maphaka, 24.5 ov)
