"Guys... gift a wicket, promote Morris up and finish the match..!" Well, that was a bit of a gift, Senthil. But David Miller is the next man in. You know what time it is...

Ali to du Plessis, OUT, darted on the stumps, Faf mows towards wide long-on... towards the safe hands of Stokes, who makes no mistake! The captain picks out a fielder on the boundary this time and the pressure ratchets up another notch

F du Plessis c Stokes b Ali 25 (51m 30b 1x4 0x6) SR: 83.33
15.5
Ali to Rossouw, 1 run, pushed through flat outside off, dabbed behind square for another single
15.4
Ali to du Plessis, 1 run, worked off the legs
15.3
Ali to du Plessis, 2 runs, sweeps, gets a top edge but it lands fine of the man on the edge of the ring and runs for a couple more
15.2
Ali to Rossouw, 1 run, attempts to sweep, bit of bounce and it deflects off the shoulder, I think
 

"One more over from Rashid and Jordan will be back on to prove himself either way." You could be right, Phil... This one is going to the wire

 
15.1
Ali to Rossouw, 2 runs, drops back and goes for the reverse-paddle-dab, gets a bottom edge fine for two
