    OK then, it's not long until South Africa begin their innings, needing 136 to make the semi-finals.

    They're the big favourites at this point but to see whether they can get over the line, I'll hand over to Mike Peter.

    South Africa spinner Tabraiz Shamsi: "Really happy, they're a powerful batting line-up.

    "We had some good plans, and we executed properly. But it's cricket, we've got to make the runs."

    A fine performance from the South Africa bowlers - the spinners, in particular - leaves them needing an eminently chaseable 136 to reach the semi-finals as Group 2 winners.

    We all know the Proteas' reputation in big World Cup games but they've been excellent so far in this one.

    But West Indies won't be giving up just yet.

    The West Indies have to bowl South Africa out. That's the way they win this game, they can't keep South Africa down. They've got to take wickets early on, force South Africa to make mistakes through pressure. They're 15-20 runs under par.

  5. WI 135-8published at 20 overs

    No big finish as Alzarri Joseph bounces the ball back over Kagiso Rabada for a single.

    But 11 runs from the final over could - the West Indies will hope, anyway - be crucial at the end of the match.

    An excellent effort from the South Africa bowlers, though, and they are on top at the halfway stage.

    The perfect scenario to get Joseph back on strike.

  7. WI 134-8published at 19.5 overs

    Mistimed into the leg side but Alzarri Joseph sprints back for two.

    He's on strike for the last ball of the innings.

  8. WI 132-8published at 19.4 overs

    Run-out chances at both ends as West Indies run a bye through to Quinton de Kock to get Alzarri Joseph back on strike.

    He's definitely a talented cricketer. A wonderful fast bowler, but he's got ability with the bat. A big man, big levers.

  10. WI 130-8published at 19.2 overs

    SIX!

    Hammered over the leg side by Alzarri Joseph.

    Precious runs for the West Indies.

  11. WI 124-8published at 19 overs

    Two big swings and misses to end the over from Gudakesh Motie.

    Good bowling from Anrich Nortje.

    Just six balls left in the innings.

    They've got to get to 130 to at least challenge the South African batting line-up, and even that I don't think would be enough.

    Thick edge down to deep third for four.

    Not pretty from Gudakesh Motie but West Indies won't care. Every run counts for them right now.

    The pace of Anrich Nortje helped Motie there.

    I can understand the one midway through the over, Rob, but I agree the one at the end of the over makes a lot less sense.

    Especially given his clear desperation to get back on strike a ball later.

    Why did Russell take that single at the end of the last over?! Or indeed the one off the third ball?

    That dismissal shows how modern players think. Are they reading the situation? You've got two overs left, 160 is out of the question, can you nudge it up to 130. It's a nothing shot.

    I have no problem with batters being positive, but this innings has just been all about 'I'm just going to hit a boundary' and nothing else. There's a lot of dot balls, you've got to be pushing ones and twos, especially on a difficult pitch.

  17. WI 118-8published at 18 overs

    Two overs for the West Indies to drag themselves up to 140 - or at least somewhere close - to give their bowlers something to work with.

    Hosein c&b Rabada 6 (WI 118-8)

    Simple return catch for Kagiso Rabada.

    The slower ball sticks in the pitch, Akeal Hosein is through the shot far too early and just chips the ball back to the bowler.

    Is this being generous to the West Indies?

    No dive either, where's the experience? Big man - throw yourself, get over the line somehow. This stage of the game, you've got to show that desperation, get those maroons dirty.
