    All this needs is a calm head.

  2. SA 151-5

    Target 177

    Marco Jansen, how are you feeling?

  3. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    It's a very clever piece of bowling, taking the pace off the ball. Klaasen felt like he had to play, but it might've been called wide if he'd left it.

    It was still a magnificent innings.

    The game swings again!

    WICKET

    Klaasen c Pant b Hardik 52 (SA 151-5)

    The game turns again!

    Heinrich Klaasen's wonderful innings is over. It's a nothing ball from Hardik Pandya, wide of off stump, but Klassen edges through to the keeper.

    A lifeline for India.

  6. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    If South Africa make it over the line, the contrast in intent between Heinrich Klaasen and Virat Kohli will be the difference.

  7. SA 151-4

    Need 26 from 24

    Now Rishabh Pant is down having treatment on his knee. Hardik Pandya is going to bowl the next over. One big one wins it for South Africa.

  8. SA 151-4

    Target 177

    One of the Bumrah overs safely negotiated. He's only got one left. How different might it have been if South Africa needed 10 an over?

  9. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    Where was Bumrah three overs ago?

    They had to try and get him out before he got settled against the spin. They may live to regret it.

  10. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    A half-century of the highest quality.

  11. 50 runs

    50 for Heinrich Klaasen

    SA 150-4

    50 off 23 for Heinrich Klaasen. The fastest in a T20 World Cup final.

  12. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    A tactical mis-step from India here. I think they've delayed Bumrah too late.

    This partnership was always going to be the key, South Africa have a long tail and Klaasen is so, so good against spin.

  13. SA 148-4

    Target 177

    Here is Bumrah! Inside edge from Miller. Almost an instant impact.

  14. SA 147-4

    Need 30 from 30

    Two to end the over. 24 off it. Run a ball required. Where's Jasprit Bumrah? It might be too late now.

  15. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Suddenly, it's almost down to a run-a-ball.

  16. SA 141-5

    Target 177

    Four over cover. One bounce. This over has gone for 22 so far.

  17. 6 runs

    SA 141-4

    Target 177

    Klassen is winning this on his own! Over long-on this time.

  18. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    See you later.

  19. 6 runs

    SA 135-4

    Need 42 from 33

    On the roof! Over mid-wicket!

    South Africa have taken three sixes and a four from five balls.

  20. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    It has been a fascinating game and this is a fascinating passage.

    Neither of these two can afford to get out because of South Africa's long tail, but they have got to keep being aggressive at the same time.
