Deiva will come for the chase, enjoy.

Chris Green: I was happy with the way the ball came out, looked to vary the pace and lengths. I tried to get some spin and sneak the balls through. Based on last year, I had a lot of success. The left and right handed openers was a challenge I enjoyed facing. We have to give credit to them to stick with it, they kept going on with wickets at the back. It's something we can learn from as well.

12:35pm: That was a quintessential two-contrasting-halved innings. 35 off the first ten and 107 off the next. Amir sent back the openers early. The pitch offered spin, swing, seam, it was ready to obey the bowlers' every command. Hope sludged through and Hetmyer picked up after starting slow. The eleventh over from Gordon was a breaking point. Then after a couple of overs of pulling back with economical overs, Pretorius and Gordon got rid of the settled duo. Following that was the Shepherd-and-Klaasen time. They went for big hits, disregarded getting beaten which happened every now and again and managed to plunder 45 off the last three.

Pretorius to Smith, SIX, Lofted, long-on runs to his left and it just clears his outstretched left hand! It was fullish, just outside off. Smith lofted it straight with a flourish. And got just enough.

All action in the last few overs and Pretorius may have saved 10-15 runs here.
