47.6 to DA Miller, Rahmat has... taken a stunning catch on the cover-point boundary. Great sense of direction and boundary awareness as he was running in a straight line. He reached out and clasped it with both hands before laying on the grass with ball in the right hand. Was a 13-metre run, TV shows. Was a full ball outside off that was driven. 298/5 | ||||||||||

48.2 to M Jansen, Leg stump out the ground and there's a pop from the crowd. 136ks on the middle of slot, zipped straight as Jansen stood tall and tried to lift it over mid-on. Bat not close, a satisfying flight for leg bail. 299/6 | ||||||||||

5.1 to T de Zorzi, People are smart, Nabi is genius. Jaffas are for amateurs, pros deceive. That looked like a hit me ball off the hand, on a length just outside off. 84ks, sat up too. So, de Zordi stayed deep in the crease and looked to lump a pull over while swivelling. Might've aimed to go over midwicket but lobbed it to mid-on. Nabi pumps his fist and is all smiles. 28/1 28.5 to T Bavuma, dragged down and Bavuma holes out! Poor ball but it brings Nabi the wicket he had just been denied. A real half-tracker. hit-me-where-you-want - only Bavuma spooned it high into the leg side, presenting a comfortable catch for deep midwicket. Afghanistan break the second-wicket stand. 157/2 | ||||||||||

42.4 to HE van der Dussen, VDD looks to attack, Noor gobbles him up. Was a pre-meditated shot as the batter made room and looked to slug it over square leg with a fully closed bat-face. Got a leading edge that ballooned straight to short third. The ball was on a length, at leg stump. 93ks.. 248/4 | ||||||||||

28.6 to Mohammad Nabi, 138ks, rushed on the pull, taken at forward square leg by Rabada who runs to the right and pops the ball to the ump with a big smile. All too easy for SA right now. Was a shortish ball around chest-height. Left-arm, around the wicket, with a high release, doing its thing. 120/6 | ||||||||||
| 8 | 0 | 56 | 2 | 7.00 | 25 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
3.2 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, short ball, gets big on him, and taken at short fine leg! Ngidi strikes back immediately with the big wicket of Gurbaz. He trails off disconsolately, as SA celebrate. Came high off the bat, but needed a fine diving catch from Maharaj, who had to stoop low to get his fingers under the ball. 16/1 34.2 to Gulbadin Naib, plinked to mid-off, Gulbadin goes! Bavuma tumbles over but makes sure to keep the ball off the ground as he does so. Not full enough to drive, even as he jumped down the track, and the shot skewed tamely to the edge of the ring. Ngidi strikes second ball back and SA edge closer. 142/7 | ||||||||||
| 8.3 | 1 | 36 | 3 | 4.23 | 36 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 | |
9.4 to Ibrahim Zadran, Rabada has the final word! Pace like fire, 148kph and he flattens middle! Zadran was again hopping away to the leg side and misses completely with a defensive prod. Rabada whispers sweet nothings as the batter starts to walk off. Afghanistan's climb gets steeper. 38/2 22.6 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Heavy ball, hard length, strangled! 137ks, seam-up, landed around off and went straight on. Rose around waist-height but it continued to be on the rise. Azmat was lifting his front knee, trying to pull it fine but gloved it to the keeper. 89/5 43.3 to Rahmat Shah, oh no, Rahmat nicks behind! Or was it a bump ball? He's asked for the review, but doesn't look terribly confident. Nope, this is going to be out. Full on fourth stump, he tried to play it late and feathered through to Rickelton. So a valiant innings comes to an end and South Africa seal a thumping win to open their Champions Trophy campaign. 208/10 | ||||||||||
| 9 | 0 | 36 | 2 | 4.00 | 32 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | |
14.4 to Hashmatullah Shahidi, smashed straight to mid-on! Hashmat picks out his opposite number, as Bavuma clings on to a stinger, and Afghanistan's chase is in serious trouble. Tried to take the attack to Mulder, connected well with the shot... but hammered it to the fielder, and Bavuma held on nonchalantly above his head. 50/4 42.6 to Noor Ahmad, splat! Off stump is flattened, and Noor's dogged resistance is over. Perfect length, maybe nipped in a fraction. Noor was looking to defend from the crease, played the wrong line and lost his castle. SA one wicket away. 208/9 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 46 | 1 | 4.60 | 33 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
37.3 to Rashid Khan, hoicked... but straight to midwicket! He charges again, looking to unleash, but this comes off the inside half of the bat and sits up nicely for Markram to pluck from the air going to his left. Rashid's fun is over, so is the crowd's - and Afghanistan's night might be done soon, too. 169/8 | ||||||||||
