  1. SA 206-6published at 42.4 overs

    A second boundary in the over for South Africa. Just a little bit of quiet in the stands.

    Poor old South Africa don't play again until the 28 June, and then they play on the last day of qualifying against Australia. It's a cruel fate.

  3. SA 201-6published at 42.1 overs

    Inside edge. Four runs.

    The win predictor still has South Africa at 1%.

  4. SA 197-6published at 42 overs

    Need 112 runs to win

    It's chaos out there at the minute. There are screams in the stands and yelps around the stumps with appeal after appeal.

  5. SA 193-6published at 41 overs

    Target 309

    Chris Morris drives a single from his first ball. They think about two but decide against it. Sarfaraz looks delighted with his team. He applauds with his hands high above his head.

    You think that really is South African hopes gone.

    Miller b Shaeen 31 (SA 192-6)

    That really is that.

    Miller goes for a scratchy 31 from 37 balls. He has a pop but is beaten by Shaheen Afridi and is bowled.

  8. SA 192-5published at 40.4 overs

    South Africa are hitting the ball but only for singles into the deep. Not. Enough.

    Pakistan would be even more comfortable had they taken their chances...

    Ben has handed out the ultimate insult.

    Ben Wire: South Africa remind me of Man United recently: some great players that should be collectively much better but instead are off-song, under-par and always vulnerable.

    10 overs to go. 120 runs needed at exactly 12 an over.

  13. Not outpublished at 40 overs

    The decision is reversed. I didn't hear a snick but that's because the Pakistan fans are making a racket.

  14. Postpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    Oh! He has hit it. A little under-edge.

  15. Postpublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    There's no bat, I don't think, but it might actually be missing off stump.

  16. South Africa reviewpublished at 40 overs

    David Miller is given out lbw! It looked out.

    He reviews immediately. Has he hit it? If not he's in trouble.

    Hafeez said to the skipper, 'no, that's mine' - so he had to make sure he caught it!

    Van der Dussen had no option other than to go big there.

    Van der Dussen c Hafeez b Shadab 36 (SA 189-5)

    South Africa are going home.

    Rassie van der Dussen can't be blamed for this big heave given the situation but it doesn't even get out the inner ring.

    It's a tester of a high catch for Mohammad Hafeez at extra cover and he tells keeper Sarfaraz Ahmed to stay away. The experienced Hafeez gobbles it up and gets a hug from his skipper for the work.
