Quite a compensation for Bloemfontain's rainy run-fest in this game. Sunny skies to begin with and then a pitch which progressively got tougher to score on, thus sparing us another few hous of ball chasing. Amla was undone early by Topley who added another 3 wickets to finish with impressive figures of 4/50. du Plessis and de Villiers caged their naturally aggressive instincts to steer the total to safe shores.

Topley
9-1-50-4
Topley to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, low full toss outside off and Abbott thrashes it to long-off. A single takes South Africa to a competitive 262
Last ball...
Topley to Behardien, 1 run, full and wide, Behardien throws his hands at it and somehow forces it to third man
Topley to Behardien, wide, that was way down leg, Behardien had shuffled outside off to swing it out over fine leg, doesn't connect and called a wide
Topley to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, full, robbed of pace and wide of off, Abbott reaches for it and pat it out to deep extra cover
Topley to Behardien, 1 run, gets across his stumps and flashes this fuller length delivery through cover
Topley to Behardien, no run, bowls it very flat and very full with an angle across, Behardien leans in to drive but is not quite upto the ball. Was well outside the tramline but Behardien's shuffle across made it easy for the umpire
Topley to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, fires it in on off, Abbott clears his front leg and dug it out to mid-on with a full-fledged arm awing
Five-for hunter Topley to bowl the last over

Stokes
9-0-54-2
Stokes to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, tough to decide what was more mediocre. Knee-high full toss, Abbott threw his hands at it only to hit it straight to extra cover
Stokes to Behardien, 1 run, fires in the yorker, Behardien gets his bat down just in time and digs it out to mid-wicket. The bowler and Kyle Abbott almost collided there but the latter made it back before Stokes got to the ball
Stokes to Behardien, FOUR, yes, here it comes. Was only coming. Stokes pitches this up, Behardien kneels and lofts it over extra cover for a much needed boundary
Stokes to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, and South Africa get to that 250 mark. Full ball on middle, Abbott shuffles across and wrists it to mid-on
Stokes to Behardien, 1 run, low dipping full toss and Behardien dribes it with hard hands, mistimed to sweeper cover
Stokes to Kyle Abbott, 1 run, full ball on the middle and leg, Abbott leans forward and clips it away to backward square leg
Ben Stokes [8.0-0-45-2] is back into the attack
Farhaan Behardien can go ballistic. 12 balls to go.
