    7.1 taken at square leg! Namibia have the first wicket. It was full on the pads. Hermann went for the flick but couldn't keep it down. Loftie-Eaton timed his jump to the perfection and took it overhead 31/1

    35.1 Hear that loud roar from Trumpelmann. CE knew he was gone, dropping his head in disappointment as the ball left his bat. Simple catch for mid-off, as Erasmus keeps his eyes on the ball and tumbles to take it. CE looked to launch it down the ground off a length, but mistimed it. His bottom hand came off the bat, and the ball ended up ballooning 214/2

    37.3 flicked to the man close in at midwicket. Just as de Zorzi showed an intention to attack, he falls. He hit that pretty hard, though. So hard that Frylinck, the catcher, has to walk back wringing his hands. De Zorzi saw a fullish ball around middle and leg, and went clipping. But all he could do was find the fielder despite playing so forcefully 231/3

    38.3 an inside edge and the ball dribbles onto the stumps. Breetzke was looking to defend this length ball close to the body but he got an inside edge onto the pads and the ball bounced off to dislodge the bails. He tried to stop it with his bat but was late 233/4

    45.2 a high full toss outside off. Brevis swings hard, looking to hit it towards deep midwicket. Gets a top edge towards short fine leg, who pedals back to take the catch. A quick check with the square leg umpire and he is happy with the height 283/5

    1.5 good catch by Hermann. Bosch rushes van Lingen into the shot. The latter departs for a nine-ball duck. He went driving hard at this length delivery on off, even as the ball seemed to jump off the pitch. Van Lingen ended up hitting aerially, and Hermann, at short extra cover, did well to move to his right and grab the ball 1/1

    2.2 popped up for backward point. Jansen strikes as well. He's quite tall, and gets the ball to rise sharply off a short length. Kruger is squared up by the length and the bounce, as he ends up pushing awkwardly at the ball around middle and off. The ball flies off the shoulder of the bat for a comfortable catch for Brevis 1/2

    3.2 taken at fine leg. Namibia are 1 for 3. That's now a wicket in each of the last three overs. Frylinck finds the man out on the leg side. Short delivery from Bosch, and Frylicnk swivels to pull, but finds the man at the boundary bang on. South Africa have more wickets than Namibia have scored runs so far 1/3

    8.1 gone!! Simple catch for Esterhuizen. Two boundaries in the last over hinted at him having settled, but Steenkamp plays a lose shot this time. He jabs at this length ball shaping away and finishing pretty wide of off, as there was no foot movement there. The ball tickled the outside edge, and although that looked like being first slip's catch, Esterhuizen moved gently to his right to take that 20/4

    10.2 ballooned up for another simple catch for Esterhuizen. He moves a good few steps across to his left while keeping his eyes on the ball, and lets the ball drop into his gloves. There was plenty of time for Esterhuizen to eventually take it calmly. LE went for the flick to the leg side off this short-of-a-length ball, but got a leading edge. He may have closed the face of the bat a bit too early there 32/5

    16.1 stunning catch! A one-handed blinder from Brevis. It was a length ball outside off. Green cut it to the right of Brevis at backward point. Brevis, though, dived full stretch, parallel to the ground, and grabbed it with one hand. Like Jonty Rhodes back in the day. First ODI wicket for Smith 59/6

    32.1 Brevis has done a Rhodes second time today. It was a length ball around off that Erasmus dropped near his feet and set off. Brevis from backward point attacked the ball. Seeing him, Balt says no but Erasmus keeps going. Balt has to respond to his captain but he is nowhere in the picture as Brevis throws himself at the stumps with the ball in hand. Just like the Inzamam run out at the 1992 World Cup, all three stumps are flat on the ground 130/7

    41.5 gone!! Bosch has his third. South Africa win by 167 runs, and seal the series. The ball dipped onto Trumpelmann, who went low try and swipe at it across the line, but missed. It hit the stumps, and that was it 178/10
