  1. 'We are a really special team'

    South Africa's Anrich Nortje: "The boys bowled really well again and we did a really good job. Ottniel Baartman was exceptional at the end as well.

    "The two games we've been really good in the field. That is one of our strengths and we've been working on it. It's been paying off and hopefully that continues."

    On returning to the side after a difficult year with injuries: "It is great and it is great to have a team that is backing you. There's been some talk in the media about me but it is great to have the coaches backing me. For me, it is just about helping the team get closer to the cup. It is great fun to be a part of and we've got all basis covered. It is a really special team and we really hope we can go all the way."

  2. The boundaries were few and far between for Netherlands today.

    They were outclassed by an outstanding bowling performance.

    South Africa wanted to put Ottniel Baartman under pressure in the final over but he's taken three wickets and only conceded open run in it. He was outstanding.

    The Netherlands just didn't quite get going today.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Van Beek c Jansen b Baartman 23 (Ned 103-9)

    Three in the over!

    Baartman finishes with stunning figures of 4-11 from his four overs, and Marco Jansen takes his third catch. Logan van Beek tries to whack it over the covers but it flies high in the air, and the tall man takes a great catch over his shoulder.

    South Africa need 104 to win.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Pringle c Markram b Baartman 0 (Ned 102-8)

    And another!

    It's a well-directed short ball from Baartman, and Tim Pringle tries to whack it into the leg side but picks out Aiden Markram, who takes a very good catch at mid-wicket because it was travelling quickly to him.

    Baartman takes his third wicket.

    Without him and that partnership then the Netherlands would have been in a sorry state.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Engelbrecht c Jansen b Baartman 40 (Ned 102-7)

    Ah! Engelbrecht's fun comes to an end.

    He backs away outside leg stump but Baartman smartly follows him, resulting in the ball looping up to Marco Jansen for a simple catch at cover.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    The batters just used the pace well in that over. They knew what to expect from Kagiso Rabada and used it to their advantage.

  9. Ned 102-6

    Tristan Stubbs pulls off a heroic piece of fielding on the point boundary to prevent another, but Engelbrecht responds with a thump down the ground for four more.

    Great over for the Dutchmen - 15 from it.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    He's had to swot it like he's swatting a fly. It sailed over the boundary.

    Rabada looked at him and said 'how?".

  11. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That is a marvellous shot.

  12. 6 runs

    Ned 95-6

    Hello!

    Sybrand Engelbrecht helps himself to six with a tennis-style swipe over long-on.

    Kagiso Rabada gives a wry smile of frustration.

  13. Ned 87-6

    I'm impressed that Netherlands are probably going to see out the 20 overs here.

    It really didn't look likely at 48-6.

  14. Ned 85-6

    Lovely shot!

    Logan van Beek drills the second ball of Baartman's over for four down the ground.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Even if the Netherlands can get 10 an over from here, it still won't be enough.

    If they could have got up to 120-130 it would have given them something to bowl at.

    This pitch has helped the bowlers a little bit more than yesterday, the Netherlands haven't batted terribly.

  16. Ned 80-6

    Almost another! Engelbrecht pulls firmly to deep square, but the ball just evades Reeza Hendricks' outstretched dive and goes for four.

    And the last ball flies off a top edge for four more. An eventful, and ultimately unsuccessful over from Jansen to frustrate him after a brilliant start.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Marco Jansen is not smiling at all.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That is extraordinary.

    I can't quite understand how he's dropped the rebound. You will marvel at it if you see it.

  19. dropped catch

    Engelbrecht dropped on 24

    Ned 71-6

    Marco Jansen took a worldie earlier but has just put one down in his follow through.

    He does the hard bit - stopping a firmly-struck drive from Engelbrecht with one hand outstretched. But, it loops up quite nicely for a simple rebound catch and that's the one he puts down.

    He's not happy with himself there.

  20. Ned 71-6

    Bit of stubborn resistance from the Netherlands, even if the run rate is going nowhere.

    Anrich Nortje thinks he's finished his spell before the umpire calls him back for a no-ball. But the free hit only concedes a single so he finishes with a decent 2-19.
