- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 full toss, but he doesn't fully connect this time. Powered to cow corner, but doesn't have the legs to clear the rope, and a sharp catch is taken. The umpires are having a look at whether it was higher than the waist, though I think he won't survive this. He doesn't! And the USA finally break through again 126/22.4 Straight up....goes miles in the air and Anderson takes a steepler. That was on a length on middle, Hendricks jumps down the track looking to go up and over. The ball catches his top edge and balloons straight up. A swirler for Anderson around the mid-off region and he holds on 16/114.6 But he doesn't miss it! Markram reached out to the full delivery to try and help it over backward point, but instead times it too well, and an onrushing Ali Khan takes a superb catch diving forward. The USA are beginning to drag this back quite effectively now 141/412.3 two in two, Miller chips it to Harmeet first ball! Innocous delivery, really, but Miller, not set yet, just pushed at it, straight into the gleeful hands of Harmeet. Do the USA have their foot in the door again? 126/3Extras7 (b 1, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL194/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Reeza Hendricks, 2.4 ov), 2-126 (Quinton de Kock, 12.2 ov), 3-126 (David Miller, 12.3 ov), 4-141 (Aiden Markram, 14.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 The back of a length ball does the job for Rabada! Was pitched around middle as Taylor backed away and looked to go up and over. The length does him in as the ball catches the splice and balloons feebly towards mid-off who dives forward and takes a good low catch 33/15.3 Up in the air and that's a second wicket for Rabada! On a length on the pads, he flicks but doesn't get a clean connection. The ball hits the high part of his bat and Stubbs at deep square leg isn't dropping those. Nitish clipped that into the breeze and that was another reason the ball didn't travel as much as it should have. 53/26.4 Jones is a goner and that is a massive wicket for South Africa! Floated nicely from Maharaj on the fuller side outside off. A hint of turn away from Jones, who pushes at it with an angled bat and only manages a thin edge to de Kock. 56/39.3 Excellent riposte from Nortje. Goes full and sends the leg pole splat. Don't think Anderson was expecting that. He stays rooted to the crease and Nortje goes full. He misses, Nortje doesn't and USA's job gets tougher. 71/411.1 that's adjacent, and he's given! Shamsi strikes first ball Jahangir reviewed but it landed on off and spun back to crash into the pad in front of middle, and was going to hit middle and leg. USA lose a wicket as well as a review, and South Africa are closing in here 76/518.1 full toss that's timed very well. Too well, in fact. It flies to midwicket, where Stubbs comes across to complete a simple catch. Harmeet puts his hands on his head before he has to depart after a knock that breathed life back into the USA's chances 167/6Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL176/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Steven Taylor, 3.3 ov), 2-53 (Nitish Kumar, 5.3 ov), 3-56 (Aaron Jones, 6.4 ov), 4-71 (Corey Anderson, 9.3 ov), 5-76 (Shayan Jahangir, 11.1 ov), 6-167 (Harmeet Singh, 18.1 ov)
