On that note, it is time for me to take a break.

Yep, they knew. Pitching outside leg.

South Africa reviewpublished at 30 overs
Aiden Markram leaves it very late, but eventually goes for a review for an lbw off the bowling of Keshav Maharaj.
With the match won, why not.

For future World Cups pre- knockout stages - 10 points for win, then for both teams one additional point for every two wickets taken and one additional point for every 50 runs scored starting at 150 up to 350, so max if five batting points

Ban 123-7published at 29 overs
Hasan Mahmud is the new batter as South Africa look to wrap this up quickly.
Gerald Coetzee thinks he has him third ball when a thick edge goes aerial, but it lands just wide of the fielder at backward point.

Re plight of 50 over cricket. Why have a round robin with all 10 teams? There could be so many "nothing to play for" matches between teams at the bottom of the table. Surely, two groups of five would keep everyone interested? This tournament is dragging on too long.

Nasum c&b Coetzee 19 (Ban 122-7)
Top-edged and out.
Nasum Ahmed belatedly showed some aggression with back-to-back fours, but in attempting a third he can only top-edge a pull up into the air, with Gerald Coetzee pouching it for a routine caught and bowled.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialYou've got to inflict a few wounds yourself. You can't just let South Africa bowl at you, you've got to hit back. Mark Wood managed to do that the other day.
Ban 114-6published at 28 overs
Is Mahmudullah starting to have some fun now?
He has charged Keshav Maharaj and dispatched the ball over deep mid-wicket for four. He is 11 away from a half-century.
Ban 103-6published at 27 overs
Mahmudullah proves he has no ill-effects from that hit on the helmet by driving through the covers for four. Nice shot.
That's Mahmudullah's fourth boundary of the innings and moves him to 34 from 48 balls.
Not outpublished at 26.2 overs
No it didn't.
Mahmudullah survives and is also fine to continue after a concussion check.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialIt certainly hit his helmet but did it hit anything else first?
South Africa reviewpublished at 26.2 overs
Ouch. Mahmudullah is hit on the helmet after attempting to pull a Gerald Coetzee bouncer.
The ball loops into the hands of the fielder and South Africa send it upstairs in the hope it brushed the edge on the way through.
Ban 96-6published at 26 overs
That's not a bad idea. It certainly feels like some teaks need to be made.
Three singles off Keshav Maharaj's latest over.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI've got two ideas.
Firstly, a 40-over World Cup to start with.
Secondly, a bonus point each for batting and bowling. The batting point would be given for number of boundaries hit and the other point should be given if you have teams five down before 30 overs.
That would mean there are four points available for every game.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialNasum Ahmed has to have a bit of a go, he can't just block it out for 25 overs.
This is the problem with 50-over cricket. They are going to have to come with some incentive so that teams keep going for it and games don't just peter out, that is what will kill the format.
