End of over 6 (8 runs) South Africa 45/3 (113 runs required from 14 overs, RR: 7.50, RRR: 8.07)

RR Rossouw4 (2b 1x4 0x6)
F du Plessis29 (16b 3x4 1x6)
AJ Tye1-0-8-1
GJ Maxwell1-0-16-0
 

Here's ModernUmpsPlz on the Maxwell gambit: "Candidate for the stupidest bowling change in the history of cricket? Exactly what SA did, exactly the same result. Wonder what Smith was expecting to happen."

 
5.6
Tye to Rossouw, no run, tighter line, not quite so full, defended into the off side
5.5
Tye to Rossouw, FOUR, stroked through the covers for four first ball! Tye went round the wicket, slightly overptiched and Rossouw got low to drill the ball to the deep extra cover boundary
 

Rilee Rossouw is the new man in, the chase shaping up as a real tussle

 
5.4
Tye to Duminy, OUT, shortish, on the pull - and picks out midwicket! Duminy didn't connect cleanly, came off the toe straight to Finch, who took it above his head. A roll of the Tye die works for Smith

JP Duminy c Finch b Tye 5 (10m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55
5.3
Tye to Duminy, 2 runs, on the stumps, swings to leg, gets this into a gap and they come back for two
5.2
Tye to du Plessis, 1 run, back of a length, moves to off and swipes a pull through square leg
 

"Not sure about T20s but Pragyan Ojha had taken catch off first ball on his debut Test match," chirrups Rajesh

 
5.1
Tye to Duminy, 1 run, shortish, backs away and steers to third man
 

Andrew Tye in the attack
