Ireland started well with the ball - in fact, they had a great chance of trying to stop South Africa when Hendricks and Markram fell off back-to-back deliveries - only for them having to chase a big score again. But their recent form against India and New Zealand should give them a boost. Join Sruthi for the chase in ten.

Hendricks: "Enjoying that [the form]... It's nice with the new ball. Had to adapt as the innings went along; it [the pitch] was slow. We were looking at 220-plus, but we'll take what's on the board. Definitely backing our bowlers [to defend 212]."

8.07pm Another dominant day for South Africa in T20Is. Are we getting used to it, not least because the World Cup is barely two months away? The usual suspects Markram and Hendricks slam fifties again, before cameos from the latest T20 kid Stubbs - he got 24 off 11 balls - and an even aggressive knock from Pretorius, who crashed 21 off 7 deliveries, put the seal for South Africa.

19.6

Adair to Pretorius, FOUR, goes chasing a wide ball outside off, and gets four over short third! Pretty full and wide delivery outside off, as he reaches for it and ends up lofting - maybe not exactly where he wanted - but still gets four

19.6

Adair to Pretorius, 1 wide, a late call for wide, and that invites some boos from the crowd. Short of a length on off, as he tried to ramp but missed

19.5

Adair to Pretorius, 2 runs, McCarthy runs and dives to his left from long-on to save two. A wide full toss outside off, and swatted away
