Digs in a short ball on off, Andy pulls it to deep square leg for a run.

Short and wide outside off, Harry cuts but finds the point fielder.

Two dots now. Short again, cut again and once again it finds the point fielder. Tector needs to do better than that at this stage.

Well bowled! Andile once again is on the shorter side outside off, slower in pace, Harry is early into his pull shot and misses.

A length delivery outside off, it's steered through point. Takes a single off the last ball and retains strike, not what Ireland would want at this stage.

Flatter and outside off, Balbirnie plays it very late off the back foot towards point.

Loopy ball outside off, Balbirnie lofts it over the infield towards wide of long off. Markram does very well to run across and cut it off with a dive. Saves two for his side.

WIDE! Slips this one down the leg side. Balbirnie lets it go. Wide called.

FOUR! He looks in good touch and the break has not hampered his form much! Touch fuller on off, Andy Balbirnie drives it through the covers and fetches himself a boundary. Ireland need more of these at this stage.

Floated it up on middle and leg, Balbirnie went for the flick but misses. He gets hit on the pads. Half-hearted appeal from Shamsi for an LBW but turned down by the umpire.

Fuller and wide outside off, Balbirnie drives it to covers. He retains the strike picking up a single.

FOUR! Much needed for Ireland. Slower delivery, on a length and outside off, Balbirnie reaches out for and slices his drive over point for a boundary.

Angles a length ball on off, Andy defends it back to the bowler.

Andile bowls it on a length and on middle, Balbirnie clears his front leg and lofts it over mid on for one.

Andile Phehlukwayo delivers it on a length around off, Harry advances down the track and lifts it over covers. Keshav Maharaj cuts it off in the deep and the batsmen get a brace.

Phehlukwayo gets away this time by bowling a short ball around leg. Harry fails to pull and the umpire has decided to not call it a wide. 11 from the over!

OUT! TAKEN! Rabada comes back into the attack and gets a wicket off his first ball. Balbirnie was standing down the leg side, Rabada follows him and bowls full, Andy Balbirnie chips it straight into the hands of Tabraiz Shamsi at mid-wicket. He has to depart after playing a really good knock. Ireland would have liked to have him there in the middle till the end but he has to walk back to the shed.

Edgy! Fuller and on middle, Adair tries to flick but gets a leading edge down to third man for a run.

Shortish and outside off, Tector plays a mistimed square cut to cover-point.

SIX! The first biggie of the match! Rabada dishes out a shortish ball around off, Tector moves back to open the leg side field and pulls it thunderously over mid-wicket. It has gone into the crowd. The umpire gets the ball back and then sanitizes. Let's see how Rabada responds.

FOUR! Ireland have started to accelerate just at the right time. Rabada bangs in a short ball again, around leg, Tector moves back, has his eyes off the ball but he still manages to pull it down to long leg for a boundary.

OUT! Caught behind! Rabada gets his revenge. Delivers a back of a length delivery outside off, Tector stands back to slap it square of the wicket on the off side but the ball bounces extra to catch the outside edge. A simple take for Kyle Verreynne behind the wickets and Tector's stay is over.

SIX! Great shot! Short of a length ball on off, Mark Adair stays back at the crease, watches the ball closely and slashes it over deep point for a maximum. Great connection.

Back of a length ball on off, Adair cuts it fine but still finds backward point.

Run out chance? On a length around leg, Adair looks to work it on the leg side but is late into his shot. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat onto his pads. Dockrell calls for a single and gets it comfortably as the bowler tries to kick it onto the stumps at the striker's end but fails.

Short of a length on middle, Dockrell hops and chops it down onto the pitch. He takes off for a quick single. Ngidi collects the ball and fires a throw at the bowler's end but misses. A direct hit would have found Dockrell short.

Looking London, Talking Tokyo! Full and angling in on off, Adair tries to heave it over the leg side but it catches the toe end of the ball and rolls to covers. The batsmen cross for a run.
