6.3 to Abdul Malik, Given out LBW by the umpire! Malik plays all around a straight one, might have been the off cutter from Ngidi. Yes, it was. Looks like there was no inside edge, as Malik had a long chat with Gurbaz before even deciding to a review. And ball tracking returns three reds. Abdul Malik's first ODI innings is cut short, and it's a well-deserved wicket for Ngidi, who has started off superbly in this game.. 27/1 32.6 to Fareed Ahmad, Chopped it back on. Sharp back of a length ball onto the body again. He tries to give himself a little bit of room, but the ball rushes onto him. He gets hit on the arm with the ball then disturbing the stumps.. 166/9
Bjorn Fortuin	10	1	44	1	4.40	39	4	2	0	0
26.4 to Mohammad Nabi, Huge appeal for caught behind, but the umpire stays unmoved. And this time Bavuma has reviewed. Looks like there was a deviation on first glance. And yep, there is a spike on UltraEdge. That was floated outside off, Nabi gets forward, gets a thin outside edge and the keeper does the rest. It's Gurbaz or bust at the moment as far as Afghanistan are concerned.. 132/6

16.4 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Done 'im all ends up! Drifts in and pitches on a length around off stump. It then goes through with that angle. Omarzai plays outside the line of it, perhaps expecting some turn away. In the end, the ball goes through the gap between bat and pad and crashes into middle and stump. Big wicket for South Africa, an excellent ball from Peter.. 79/4 33.6 to Naveed Zadran, Straight to long-on and Afghanistan are all out for 169. Flatter and fuller on middle and leg. He sort of whips it to long-on with some power and Markram takes a comfortable enough catch.. 169/10
Andile Phehlukwayo	4	0	17	2	4.25	16	1	1	1	0
27.2 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, No back to back centuries for Gurbaz and Afghanistan are in big trouble. On a length outside off, he jumps down the track looking to possibly go over extra cover. Instead he slices this and sweeper cover takes a good catch diving forward. 132/7 27.4 to Nangeyalia Kharote, Second wicket in the over for Phehlukwayo and Afghanistan are going down in a heap. Lands the length ball from the around the wicket angle on off, and Kharote ends up playing down the wrong line only to see his off stump flattened.. 133/8

8.1 to T Bavuma, TIMBER! Plays down the wrong line and Bavuma sees his off pole disturbed. Pushed quicker on off, Bavuma strides forward, does not cover the line enough and the ball sneaks between bat and pad. 40/1 See all photos
Mohammad Nabi	8	0	37	1	4.62	26	1	2	1	0
11.6 to T de Zorzi, Big, big appeal for lbw and de Zorzi is a goner. That was as plumb as they get and he is not even bothering to review. Gets the length ball to skid on as de Zorzi stays back and is trapped bang in front. The umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. The ball would have thudded into the middle of middle stump.. 62/2
Fareed Ahmad	7	1	17	1	2.42	30	1	0	1	0
18.1 to RR Hendricks, Fareed's short ball does the trick and Hendricks has to go! An awful series for Hendricks comes to an end. It was short and rising to around chest height. It was a bit wide outside off too. Hendricks looked for the big pull shot, but gets a top edge that goes straight up, Ikram runs up to near the stumps at the striker's end and takes a straightforward catch.. 80/3
