Lungi Ngidi to Adil Rashid, out Adil Rashid Run Out!! 1 run completed. Choking, eh – what does that mean? South Africa hold their nerve to clinch this heart-stopper and go 1-0 ahead in the 3-match series. Full ball from Ngidi and Rashid could only slog it as far as mid-wicket, Steyn – calm as cucumber – tosses the ball (underarm) towards QDK who was on the amble to whip the bails and bam! Game over. Adil Rashid run out (Steyn/de Kock) 1(1)
Over
Lungi Ngidi to Moeen Ali, out Bowled!! Got him. Ah, this is going to be a thriller. No pace from Lungi Ngidi and Moeen Ali was through his bat swing way too early, doesn't get anywhere close and loses his off-stump. It's all happening in East London… Moeen Ali b Lungi Ngidi 5(5)
Over
Lungi Ngidi to Moeen Ali, 2 runs, South Africa review for lbw against Moeen Ali: Fair delivery and the batsman seems to have got an inside edge on that. UltraEdge is quick to confirm that and the onfield verdict stays. Not out. Length ball angling in just outside off, Ali shuffled across and got a healthy inside edge on the flick wide of mid-wicket. South African fielders appealed for a long time before going upstairs and it all seemed to be an act of desperation from the Proteas…
Over
Lungi Ngidi to Moeen Ali, no run, goes round the wicket and bowls another off-cutter outside off, the length is full and Moeen Ali's bat swing wasn't reaching that low down. He was expecting a length ball, but wasn't to be. A swing and a miss
Over
Lungi Ngidi to Tom Curran, out Caught by Miller!! Oh, the drama. Morgan scratches his head and this game ain't over yet. Tom Curran lines up for a length ball, but it's an off-cutter on a fullish length. Goes through with his slog a fraction too early and hit it against the wind, only to chip the shot off the toe-end to the waiting deep mid-wicket fielder. Tom Curran c Miller b Lungi Ngidi 2(2)
Over
Lungi Ngidi to Tom Curran, 2 runs, slower full ball on the pads and its been whipped away into the gap to the right of deep square. There was two available and the duo made it look very easy
