    A very professional display from Pakistan. They have not even looked like coming second in this game.

  2. Not outpublished at 49.3 overs

    Phehlukwayo is swinging from the hip to try and add a few more to his total. We check for a run out but he's safe.

  3. SA 252-9published at 49.2 overs

    Amir is actually hobbling a bit here in the final over. Just bowl off one step. He doesn't want to injure himself.

    Not much you can do with this. Wahab has been bowling rapid yorkers.

  5. SA 248-9published at 49 overs

    Need 61 from six balls

    Wahab finishes with three wickets.

    We have only the formalities to go.

    Can Amir finish it off in style?

  6. SA 247-9published at 48.3 overs

    It should be all over. There should have been a run out. Both batsmen were halfway down the pitch by Hasan Ali misses with his throw.

    62 from nine balls needed for South Africa. One wicket needed for Pakistan.

    Last man Imran Tahir is booed to the crease. They haven't forgiven him for this.

    That was lovely reverse swing, a really skillful ball. That is not too dissimilar to Wasim Akram bowling England out in Melbourne in 1992.

    Ngidi b Wahab 1 (SA 246-9)

    Save that, Wahab. It's a ripper. Way too good for a number 10.

    From round the wicket he finds late reverse swing and Ngidi gets nowhere near it.

  10. SA 246-8published at 48 overs

    Ngidi has hit one but it is only slashed for a single.

    Just the small matter of 63 runs from 12 balls needed.

  11. SA 245-8published at 47.5 overs

    Lungi Ngidi's swishes look alright but he's not getting a lot of bat on ball.

  12. SA 244-8published at 47.2 overs

    It's a long way down for Shaeen Afridi. Let's let him off for this poor piece of fielding. He gets a hand on the ball on the third man boundary but can't prevent it going for four.

    Amir is less forgiving.

    Dale: I can't even think fast enough to contemplate how you play one of those Wahab yorkers.

  14. SA 239-8published at 47 overs

    Lungi Ngidi is the number 10 for South Africa.

    Somehow he survives his first ball with the ball just missing his stumps. Everyone is chuckling. Even Ngidi expected to hear the rattle of timber.

    I think they are going for the kill now Pakistan. They want to bowl them out and improve their net run-rate.

    The Pakistan fans sing along to We Will Rock You at Lord's.

    Not often you hear an atmosphere like this at the home of cricket.

    That rather sums up South Africa's World Cup campaign. One or two bright moments but fizzled out quickly.

    Rabada b Wahab 3 (SA 239-8)

    Another one gone. It's a full toss actually from Wahab Riaz and it has smashed the stump camera. It made me blink watching it.

    Kagiso Rabada drags himself off.

    Not enough of this.

  20. SA 238-7published at 46.3 overs

    Some in the crowd are making their way home now. The game is done. Wahab is too quick for these lower-order players.
