Kagiso Rabada to Jermaine Blackwood
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Finally, Blackwood goes and that means South Africa are almost there. Short and on off, Blackwood was ducking all the time but tries to get tall and defend but sharp bounce takes an outside edge and goes to second slip where Aiden Markram takes it. A five-fer for Rabada. A champion bowler for the Proteas. A superb innings from Blackwood as well.

OUT! LBW! South Africa have done it. A length ball, angling on middle. Roach is late to get his bat down and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. That was plumb. Kagiso Rabada ends with six to his name. South Africa win by 87 runs.
