- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 Hundred and out for Pretorius. Erasmus goes for the yorker. Pretorius is late to get his bat down and gets bowled 227/411.3 bowled 'im! No hundred for Esterhuizen as he goes for a wild heave and misses. The leg stump is out of the ground 156/113.1 Brevis departs. His first real failure this series. Looks to go over long-off but doesn't get the required distance and holes out 172/218.3 an excellent catch by Green. Hermann goes for the scoop but Green flies to his right to pouch it one-handed 213/3Extras8 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL228/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.4)Fall of wickets: 1-156 (Connor Esterhuizen, 11.3 ov), 2-172 (Dewald Brevis, 13.1 ov), 3-213 (Rubin Hermann, 18.3 ov), 4-227 (Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 an excellent stop at long-on by Simelane, diving to his left. It was full outside off and Erasmus flat-batted it down the ground 167/110.5 Finally a breakthrough for South Africa. Short again. Frylinck goes for another pull but doesn't get the required distance on it. Substitute de Zorzi takes it at deep square leg boundary, throws it up, hops out, comes back and catches it again. Frylinck is distraught 119/117.5 full outside off. Smit goes hard but fails to middle it and gets caught at sweeper cover 191/219.6 a length ball outside off and moving away. Trumpelmann swings but fails to connect, and that's it. Oh, an appeal for caught behind and given out 217/3Extras24 (b 8, lb 3, w 13)TOTAL217/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.85)Fall of wickets: 1-119 (Jan Frylinck, 10.5 ov), 1-167* (Louren Steenkamp, retired not out ), 2-191 (JJ Smit, 17.5 ov), 3-217 (Ruben Trumpelmann, 19.6 ov)
