Who is looking for an upset here? Or maybe something else? Catch Shashank for the chase.

Wsm Iqbal Sidhu: "Brilliant finish by Ned to be back in the game "

Rakesh: "Rabada and Ngidi alone have conceded 72 runs in 6 overs. Contrasting bowling from Nortje, brilliant bowling"

Here comes Myburgh, who hit 37: "South Africa's an amazing team. We are happy with 158, although after ten overs we were looking for 170. But we'll take it. Par was anything between 160 and 170, so we are just, just short... But scoreboard pressure - you never know! Whenever they took pace off, it was tougher. If you bowl smartly, you can defend 160. We have done it in the past; no reason why we can't do it again!

12.01pm Is something in the air? Ummm... This is a pretty handy score to be honest. Ackermann led the way, as Netherlands smashed 46 off the last five overs, just when South Africa seemed to have pulled the plug after quick wickets. Everybody in the top four contributed, but what a spell Nortje bowled: rushing the batters on to end with 1 for 10 off four overs.

Parnell to Ackermann, SIX, another one! Ackermann sends this flying again. Not sure why Parnell would bowl in the slot yet again when he got that yorker right previous ball. It was there to be slammed, as he bowled on leg stump. Again Ackermann cleared his front leg, and whipped that commandingly over deep midwicket, where the ball just evaded the same man who caught it three balls back
