20.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Rossouw, FOUR, Rossouw finishes off in style. Goes deep in his crease, clears his front leg and since the ball is full he smashes it down the ground, both long-off and long-on can't get across as it is powerfully hit. South Africa end on 169. Bangladesh need to produce something special with the bat to get this score

18.2 - Shakib to D Miller, FOUR, now Miller uses his feet and takes it on the full to flick it behind square, beats deep square to his left

14.5 - Mortaza to D Miller, FOUR, Mortaza spoils the over by bowling short and wide outside off, Miller latches onto the width and cracks the cut to deep backward point, got the gap too

13.0 - A Sunny to du Plessis, FOUR, a short-arm jab and it is four. Was in the air but wide of the diving mid-wicket. Went to his right but couldn't get there. A pressure-releasing boundary

11.1 - Nasir Hossain to Duminy, FOUR, neatly played. Tossed up outside off, Duminy kneels down and plays the sweep behind square, beats the chasing fielder from deep square

9.1 - Mortaza to de Kock, FOUR, this is getting worse! Cutter outside off, de Kock slapped it inside out over cover, not sure who the fielder was but he ran to his left and then overran the ball, allowed to slip past his hands. What's Mash's reaction? Just put his head down and went back to his mark

9.0 - Soumya Sarkar to de Villiers, FOUR, slowly de Villiers is finding his range. Picks the slower delivery and goes down on his knees to slog it wide of deep mid-wicket. The fielder was in a few paces and couldn't get back in time

8.5 - Soumya Sarkar to de Villiers, FOUR, the crowd go silent. de Villiers comes down the track and takes it on the full, whipped away wide of long-on. Then has a punch of the gloves with de Kock

6.3 - Shakib to de Villiers, byes, FOUR, how did that miss? Slower and tossed up, de Villiers was making room to drive inside out, left a huge gap for the ball to hit the stumps, the ball missed leg and beat Rahim easily. The Bangladeshi keeper was nowhere near the line of the ball. Two chasing fielders don't stop the ball as well. Four more gifted runs for South Africa

6.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to de Villiers, FOUR, hammered! Short and wide outside off, asking to be hit and de Villiers obliges. Went back and cracked it wide of cover

5.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to de Villiers, FOUR, poor delivery to follow up a good one. Short and wide outside off, de Villiers smashes it wide of cover. Hit that really hard

3.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to de Kock, FOUR, too straight from Mustafizur Rahman and de Kock puts him away. On middle and leg, de Kock flicks it wide of short fine. The fielder needed to put the dive in but just watched it go past him

2.2 - A Sunny to de Kock, FOUR, now goes inside out over cover. This is good batting. de Kock comes down the track and then goes over cover with a lofted hit. Sunny under pressure already

2.1 - A Sunny to de Kock, FOUR, calculated blow. de Kock kneels down and then gets inside the line to sweep over short fine, who was inside the ring. Easy boundary

1.0 - A Sunny to de Villiers, FOUR, short and wide outside off, easy for de Villiers as he rocks back and thumps it wide of cover. Once it went past the infield, it was four all the way

0.4 - A Sunny to de Villiers, FOUR, nicely played! This one straightens outside off and it is quicker too, de Villiers uses the pace of Sunny and then dabs it late, beating backward point. Raced away

19.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to D Miller, SIX, magnificent blow. Low full toss outside off, Miller reached out and then slapped it over cover. Went all the way. Had he left that, it would've been a wide but Miller trusted his power and went after it

19.0 - Shakib to Rossouw, SIX, beautiful hit this. He was again down the track, waited for the ball to pitch and then lofted Shakib straight back over his head. Goes all the way. Consecutive sixes and South Africa needed that for the innings needed a bit of momentum. 19 off the over and the most expensive one of the innings

18.5 - Shakib to Rossouw, SIX, third full toss of the over and Rossouw punishes Shakib. Down the wicket and slammed way back over deep mid-wicket. Rossouw connected that really well

9.4 - Mortaza to de Kock, SIX, these cutters aren't working for Mortaza, de Kock clears his front leg and heaves it over deep mid-wicket. There was a fielder there but he cleared him comfortably

7.0 - Shakib to de Kock, SIX, this time to the pitch of the ball and lofted over wide long-on. All the way. Clean hit as de Kock sends the white ball soaring

17.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to du Plessis, out Caught by Rahim!! Bangladesh's fightback continues. The cutter and following the backing away du Plessis, the batsman having made room outside leg just lifts it straight up in the air, Rahim calls for it and takes it easily. Mustafizur Rahman claps in celebration. du Plessis c Rahim b Mustafizur Rahman 16(17) [4s-1]

11.3 - Nasir Hossain to de Villiers, out Caught by Rahim!! Up goes the finger. Bangladesh fighting back here. Spinning down leg, de Villiers attempts the glance and there was a sound as the ball went past bat, Rahim takes it and goes up in a loud appeal. The umpire gives it out. de Villiers isn't happy with the decision, he is shaking his head as he walks back. From the front on replay there wasn't any deviation. Let's wait for more replays. de Villiers c Rahim b Nasir Hossain 40(34) [4s-6]

11.2 - Nasir Hossain to Duminy, out Caught by Shakib!! Nasir Hossain has his revenge. Playing against the turn on a spinning wicket is always dangerous, Duminy finds out now. He was down the track and looking to flick against the spin, the leading edge is found and a dolly to short cover. Duminy c Shakib b Nasir Hossain 6(4) [4s-1]

10.3 - A Sunny to de Kock, out Caught by S Rahman!! The first wicket falls. Sunny follows the backing away de Kock with a full ball, de Kock just whipped it straight to the fielder at mid-wicket, Sabbir takes an overhead catch and the crowd get into their act. Bangladesh needed that badly. de Kock c S Rahman b A Sunny 44(31) [4s-4 6s-2]

8.0 - Mortaza to de Kock, 1 run, de Kock had given up there! He stroked it to cover and set off. Bad call as he hit it too firmly, the fielder shied and missed at the bowler's end. A run-out chance gone abegging. Mash was slow to get across to collect the throw. He then makes his displeasure known suggesting he wanted the throw to come to him, rather than a direct attempt. Is Mash ever happy?

14.0 - Duminy to Litton Das, FOUR, some cheer for the home team at last. Litton Das has timed that beautifully. Uses his feet and flicks that over mid-wicket, the timing beats the fielder to the fence at deep mid-wicket. He dived but in vain

10.4 - Phangiso to Rahim, FOUR, clumsy from Abbott. He should know that the ball will spin away when the ball is swept. It is a top edge and Phangiso isn't pleased at all. A regulation stop for deep backward square leg but Abbott misread it and then tumbled to ground, watched it spin past him into the boundary. Pretty sure there will be lots of his mates reminding him about that

4.5 - Kyle Abbott to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, just over the leaping short third man. Did the fielder get a finger on it? Yes a kiss of the finger as Wiese leapt. He is the tallest player on the field and couldn't cup his hands around the ball. Soumya Sarkar arching back and ramping it. It was close but a boundary for the batsman

4.0 - Wiese to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, back-to-back fours for Soumya Sarkar. He is batting positively. Takes on the short ball and pulls over the leaping and diving deep mid-wicket fielder, one bounce over the ropes. Wiese is a frustrated man and shows off his feelings

3.5 - Wiese to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, Faf's feet has touched the ropes? Yes it has. He was on the slide in trying to pull it back and his foot was in contact with the cushions. Soumya Sarkar giving Wiese the charge and lifted it wide of long-on

2.5 - Parnell to Tamim, FOUR, all the fielders are in on the off-side and Tamim takes a risk, pays off. Skips out and gets it off the outer half of the bat, the ball flies over point and then scooted to the fence

2.2 - Parnell to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Soumya Sarkar has smashed that. Stood tall and cracked the cut to the right of backward point, raced away beating third man

1.3 - Duminy to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, top shot. It was tossed up outside off, Sarkar gets forward and laces a drive past the diving short cover. The ball rocketed away

0.5 - Kyle Abbott to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, full and wide outside off, width provided and Soumya Sarkar slashes it away, plants his front foot forward and goes over point, beats third man running across

16.3 - Phangiso to Mortaza, SIX, Mortaza has another six and the crowd are back to life. The length is pulled back by Phangiso as he saw Mortaza advancing, still Mortaza clubs it over long-on. The fielder was wide and he had no chance. A flat hit too

16.2 - Phangiso to Mortaza, SIX, that will do nicely. Mortaza comes down the track and then lofts Phangiso over his head. Straight into the sightscreen. Clean hit and Mortaza can strike them pretty well

14.1 - Phangiso to Rony Talukdar, SIX, now Rony Talukdar shows off his hitting skills. Comes down the track and to the pitch before smashing it way over long-on. Connected nicely there. Bangladesh need plenty of such hits

11.2 - Eddie Leie to Rahim, SIX, much better from Rahim. Down the track to a tossed up delivery outside off and then lofts over the leaping Abbott at long-off. Abbott went to his left and leapt as high as he possibly could, still didn't get a finger on it

6.0 - Parnell to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, Soumya Sarkar is not perturbed by the fall of wicket. He continues playing his shots, full and in the slot, Sarkar gets underneath it and sends it sailing over long-on for a maximum

19.2 - Kyle Abbott to Mustafizur Rahman, out Bowled!! You bet he can. You beauty - Kyle Abbott. The match and the series is done. South Africa the victors 2-0. Not quite a pinpoint yorker, low full toss tailed in late, Mustafizur Rahman was making room to flay that through the off-side, gets a thin inside edge back on. The stumps are splayed. Mustafizur Rahman b Kyle Abbott 0(1)

19.1 - Kyle Abbott to Rony Talukdar, out Bowled!! Brilliant yorker and Kyle Abbott cleans up Rony Talukdar. Tailed in viciously and clipped the back toe of the batsman before flicking the off bail. Too good. He loves bowling the yorkers and is an expert at them. Rony Talukdar b Kyle Abbott 21(22) [6s-1]

17.2 - Kyle Abbott to Mortaza, out Bowled!! Knocked over. Right in the blockhole as he sees Mortaza shuffling across to off, targets leg stump and uproots it with a fine delivery. Mortaza was late on that beaten by the pace of that delivery. Mortaza b Kyle Abbott 17(8) [6s-2]

14.4 - Phangiso to Litton Das, out Caught by Wiese!! Top catch by the tall man at long-on. With the glasses on. There was deep mid-wicket and mid-wicket in his peripheral vision as well but he concentrated on the ball, ran to his right and took it with both hands. Avoided the two fielders as well. Litton Das was eyeing wide long-on with the slog sweep but mishit it. Litton Das c Wiese b Phangiso 10(7) [4s-1]

12.2 - Phangiso to Nasir Hossain, out Caught by Rossouw!! Bangladesh are falling apart. Rossouw takes a simple catch at long-off. His third of the innings. Nasir Hossain comes down the track and slices the lofted hit. Straight up in the air and that's curtains. Nasir Hossain c Rossouw b Phangiso 0(2)

11.5 - Eddie Leie to Rahim, out Caught by Rossouw!! Eddie Leie has two in two. He wears a puzzled expression on his face. It was a harmless full toss outside off, Rahim lifted it well but Rossouw at cover leapt and took another good catch with both hands. Timed his jump to perfection. Eddie Leie is on a hat-trick. Rahim c Rossouw b Eddie Leie 19(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

11.4 - Eddie Leie to S Rahman, out Caught by D Miller!! Good catch by Miller and Eddie Leie has his second. He is all smiles. Tossed up outside off, Rahman slog-swept that well, it was a flat hit and going to deep mid-wicket but Miller moved quickly to his left and slid to complete a fine catch. Made it look so easy. S Rahman c D Miller b Eddie Leie 1(3)

10.1 - Phangiso to Shakib, out Caught by Rossouw!! Shakib has thrown it away. Rossouw takes a super catch at long-on. First ball from Phangiso and Shakib gives him the charge, lofts it but doesn't get the elevation to clear the fielder, Rossouw timed his jump well and took it with both hands. Ensured he stayed inside the field of play. He was close to the cushions but stayed away from them. Shakib c Rossouw b Phangiso 8(14)

6.5 - Eddie Leie to Soumya Sarkar, out Stumped!! Maiden wicket for Leie. A reckless shot from Soumya Sarkar after he had batted so well. The wrong 'un outside off, Sarkar doesn't pick it, gives the charge and looks to drive, the ball dips and turns past the outside edge, QDK does the rest behind the stumps. Soumya Sarkar st de Kock b Eddie Leie 37(21) [4s-6 6s-1]

5.5 - Parnell to Tamim, out Caught by Wiese!! South Africa have finally struck. As expected the slower ball does the trick. Back of the hand delivery, short in length, Tamim is early into the pull, the top-edge balloons towards square leg, Wiese runs to his left from mid-wicket and pouches it comfortably. Tamim c Wiese b Parnell 13(18) [4s-1]

17.1 - Kyle Abbott to Rony Talukdar, 1 run, short ball, cutter, rears up on Rony Talukdar who was looking to pull, spliced it to Kyle Abbott's left who leapt and got a fingertip on it. The ball went in slow motion and Kyle Abbott couldn't get there in time. Should've been taken

8.2 - Eddie Leie to Rahim, 1 run, that is a drop but a tough one at that! Rahim looking to go inside out and getting an inside edge, QDK didn't pick it and his gloves weren't in position, the ball hits the thigh and rolls away. Rahim didn't pick Eddie Leie there
