3.55pm What a seesawing innings we have had. Lendl Simmons took 20 off the first over, and Pollard and Allen ransacked 43 off the last two. In between, the South African bowlers conceded only 104 in 17 overs. Linde and Shamsi once again led the way with combined figures of 4 for 29 in eight overs. All that means we have another total in the 160s. And this time it's South Africa chasing it. Can they do it, we will be back soon to find out.
