- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 There's a sound as Levitt slashes, QDK is sure he's been nicked off. Jansen isn't and doesn't appeal. Umpire doesn't give it, SA review. Yep, 'there is a clear spike on the inside edge,' says the third umpire. On-field umpire accidentally signals not out, but Levitt is walking back. So the right decision has been made. Ball was around the fuller side of length and swung in a bit, Levitt tried to go square and the bat was mostly horizontal while lunging on one knee. Feathered it to the keeper 1/13.4 Marco Jansen uses his wingspan brilliantly, takes a stunning one-hander at first slip. He was diving to the left but was a bit late on the ball, nonetheless he went down like a lanky Ozymandias, and the ball stuck. He might've even started looking to take it with both hands but reflexes took over. Was a length ball outside off that swung away, O'Dowd tried cutting it but got an edge that took the ball flat and low. 15/24.3 Jansen made amends for the no-ball in the field and now does it with ball. He went full and angled it in towards leg stump, Vikramjit didn't move his feet and went for an agricultural thrash across the line, may have got a thin edge, but the ball smashed the stumps 17/319.1 leading edge to extra cover! He backed away early, and Baartman angled this in to bowl on the fuller side of a length outside leg. It was another slower ball, as Engelbrecht looked to clip this to the leg side, but seemed to have closed the face of the bat too early. A late boost for South Africa 102/79.1 Whoa, this one's exploded off a back of length and de Leede can only balloon it to point. De Leede made room but got followed. He jumped and got his bottom hand off, the ball went up off the shoulder of the bat and the fielder leapt across to take it. SA celebrate, Nortje might have another good day 32/411.3 a run-out opportunity at the non-striker's end! Great agility by Markram, and he finds Edwards short! Markram was placed a few steps close in at mid-on, and went low and dived forward to have a go at the stumps. He hit the top of the stumps, and found a diving Edwards clearly short. Edwards had earlier pushed a length ball towards mid-on with his bottom hand off 46/511.5 spooned to deep third! Wow, even a leading edge travels as far as that. Nortje's pace, and the extra bounce available on the pitch, combine to send Nidamanuru back. Klaasen, placed on the shorter boundary, took a few steps forward and went low to complete the grab. Nidamanuru had closed the face of the bat to try and clip this short-of-a-length ball angling nicely into middle, but seemed to have done it too early. So the ball took the leading edge and flew off 48/619.6 well taken by Nortje! He was placed at cover-point, and moved to his left while looking up at the sky. The ball dropped, and into his hands as he took them while tumbling to the ground. It was another slower ball from Baartman, who bowled on a fullish length and into leg. Van Beek made room and went for the loft, but was beaten by the change of pace again. In the end, his attempted loft went only as far as halfway towards deep point 103/919.3 good catch by Markram! He was pretty close in at midwicket, and leapt to take it with a reverse cup. Shorter side of a length from Baartman, as Pringle went pulling at it from middle and leg. He hit it forcefully, but couldn't time or place it all that well, with the ball seemingly rushing off his bat 102/8Extras9 (lb 2, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL103/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.15)Did not bat: VJ KingmaFall of wickets: 1-1 (Michael Levitt, 0.3 ov), 2-15 (Max O'Dowd, 3.4 ov), 3-17 (Vikramjit Singh, 4.3 ov), 4-32 (Bas de Leede, 9.1 ov), 5-46 (Scott Edwards, 11.3 ov), 6-48 (Teja Nidamanuru, 11.5 ov), 7-102 (Sybrand Engelbrecht, 19.1 ov), 8-102 (Tim Pringle, 19.3 ov), 9-103 (Logan van Beek, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Pace - 128ks but this is like Cummins to Root in Old Trafford 2019. Fullish ball angled in, looked to be heading for top of middle but straightened to beat Hendricks, who tried to cover the line with the full bat face, and trimmed the top of off. Absolute delight for van Beek. Could this actually happen again? 3/20.1 Three-act run out hands QDK a diamond duck. He took off as the ball was rolling to van Meekeren at short fine leg, Hendricks took a couple of steps but was tentative and ball-watching, QDK stopped halfway but took a couple more steps. In the meanwhile, Hendricks turned back and ran towards his crease. QDK was three-fourth of the way down now, the throw went to the bowler's end, where a couple of guys were standing. One player ran across but O'Dowd managed to collect the gentle throw cleanly and caught QDK short by miles. Was a fullish ball that was glanced fine. 0/12.3 Netherlands are convinced Markram has been strangled down leg. Sent upstairs by the ump again. Markram curses and shakes his head as the replay loads. The length ball was going down leg, Markram tried to help it fine... and has nicked it. Now the tricky part, Edwards went low to the left, tried taking it with both hands. He caught the ball with the the left glove but it basketed in the flaps? Did that have the ball make contact with the ground? It's close but the third umpire says fingers underneath the ball. The roar among the fans is as loud as can be as OUT comes up. Late replays show that seamed in a bit. 3 for 3 in a chase of 103! 3/316.2 gone, are we in for a late twist?! A well-judged catch by van Beek at deep midwicket, given the ball was in the air for a long time. He kept his eyes on it throughout, and took it in front of his throat. Again Stubbs backed away, and this time de Leede shortened his length to go on a good length. The ball shaped back in, and Stubbs pulled. But the ball travelled only high, and not quite the distance he had hoped for 77/54.3 Klaasen won't break the back of this chase, he falls early in the pursuit! Dutch fans are ecstatic, pensive faces in the SA fan group. Klaasen tried doing a pacer what he does so well against spinners - pull a length ball. Tbf he did have pace and angle to work with, but didn't middle it and got it aerial. Pringle zoomed to the left, to the deep-backward-square-leg area, and slid across to take a low catch. He ran from deep square leg, the graphic shows, and 19 metres far 12/417.5 bowled him! The roar from van Beek and co signal what this means for Netherlands. It was a length ball all right - and in the zone to attack. The ball landed on off after being angled in, and shaped back in further to hit the middle stump, as Jansen looked hoick across the line but missed. Big blow for South Africa late into the game 88/6Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL106/6 (18.5 Overs, RR: 5.62)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Quinton de Kock, 0.1 ov), 2-3 (Reeza Hendricks, 1.4 ov), 3-3 (Aiden Markram, 2.3 ov), 4-12 (Heinrich Klaasen, 4.3 ov), 5-77 (Tristan Stubbs, 16.2 ov), 6-88 (Marco Jansen, 17.5 ov)
