    The standard of Wales' skills wasn't as good as it could be in the last five minutes of the first half.

    There were mistakes, a lack of discipline, and they were giving penalties away.

    In the second half they'll have to tighten up their basic skills and not give the ball away, and not give penalties away.

  2. North makes his mark

    HT: South Africa 17-8 Wales

    George North hands off Cheslin KolbeHuw Evans Picture Agency

    What an image this is, of Wales centre George North swatting Cheslin Kolbe aside.

    Wales had some good moments in that half - and this was one of them.

  3. Half-time

    South Africa 17-8 Wales

    Breathless stuff.

    Wales' superb defensive display ensures they are still in it, but South Africa have looked dominant for periods and might feel they should be further ahead.

    It will need a huge effort from Wales to get back into things.

    See you shortly.

  4. South Africa 17-8 Wales

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales Extra

    Wales should leave these breakdowns alone as they need to get into half-time having conceded no more points.

  5. South Africa 17-8 Wales

    The hosts win a turnover and are almost in again, but run out of pitch.

    Wales badly need the break.

  6. try

    Converted try - South Africa 17-8 Wales

    Bongi Mbonambi, con Hendre Pollard

    Wales can't hold on.

    A perfect set-up and as South Africa drive forward, Bongi Mbonambi crashes over.

    Hendre Pollard adds the extras.

  7. South Africa 10-8 Wales

    Flowing move from South Africa, but they are stopped short again.

    The referee warns players for tussling off the ball and now the hosts have a line-out in dangerous territory.

  8. South Africa 10-8 Wales

    South Africa attack in waves, but at the 11th phase they make an error and throw away possession.

    Wales' defensive work has been superb.

  9. South Africa 10-8 Wales

    Derwyn Jones
    Former Wales lock on BBC Radio Cymru

    Wales have been a lot more competitive in the last few minutes compared to the first twenty minutes.

    If we can improve our skills, there's room to score more tries.

    We're right in this game.

  10. Penalty - South Africa 10-8 Wales

    Dan Biggar

    Pieter-Steph du Toit gives Alun Wyn Jones a shove and Wales could have three easy points here, under the posts for Dan Biggar.... no mistake.

    Wales are right back in this aren't they?

  11. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    It's not a coincidence that Wales look markedly more organised since Alun Wyn Jones' introduction.

    This is a real contest.

  12. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Gareth Griffiths

    The decision to put lock Alun Wyn Jones on for the injured flanker Dan Lydiate instead of Taine Basham seems to have paid off with the visitors settling down.

    Centre George North looks back to his best as he finally has possession in this series.

    Wales' indiscipline and scrum issues are their main concerns

  13. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Wales had something brewing on the overlap, but they can't keep possession.

  14. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Have we ever seen the rain? Not this week.

  15. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Wales turn over possession for some respite and end up with a penalty.

    South Africa simply aren't punishing their mistakes.

    Wales will be absolutely delighted with 10-5.

    We are now having a water break and some Creedence Clearwater Revival is playing.

    That Gareth, is music.

  16. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    South Africa kick for the corner after another unforced penalty offence, this time from Dillon Lewis.

    Wales inviting pressure, just as they looked to have rattled the hosts.

  17. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Best spell of the game for Wales.

    They have conceded six penalties, yet are only 10-5 behind and on the attack.

    What a topsy-turvy series this has been.

  18. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Gareth Davies
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    Wales haven't panicked at all since South Africa's try.

    They've been comfortable in possession and have kept it well.

    That was a fantastically worked try from Wales.

  19. Replacement

    South Africa 10-5 Wales

    Another enforced changed as Cheslin Kolbe can't continue and Willie le Roux replaces him.

  20. South Africa 10-5 Wales

    The surface is cutting up and players are struggling to stay on their feet.

    George North went down earlier (through no fault of his own) like Cristiano Ronaldo.
