    11.3 slogged straight... and Heyliger holds a running catch! Cool as you like, despite the proximity of the rope, jogging along after ensuring he wasn't going to overbalance. Think that came off the toe of the bat as Markram aimed a cross-batted swipe towards long-on. Yes, the googly taking it away from his arc. Another check on the SA momentum 126/2

    6.5 Bajwa strikes, off stump is flattened! Misjudgement from de Kock? It was almost a full toss, but definitely dipped late. Think it flicked the inside edge as de Kock reached out, diverting the ball into off stump. Mich-needed breakthrough for Canada 70/1
    13.1 Ricks picks to wide long-on! Tossed up and he opens the shoulders for the big hit. Never quite got hold of it, though, and it's a straightforward catch to the man on the rope 137/3
    13.5 smashed, but it's straight up the chimney! Towering hit, the ball comes down with snow on it... but Kirton holds on at mid-off! Ansh strikes again, third wicket of the night. Brevis was going for the no-look smoke down the ground, but was just done in the flight 138/4

    0.1 perfect length in the corridor, Bajwa tries to leave... and tickles behind off the toe of the bat! SA go up and umpire Menon nods in agreement. Bajwa trudges straight back off the pitch for a golden duck. Canada 0 for 1 after one ball 0/1
    2.3 fiddled behind! Yuvraj departs tamely after a good start. Length ball, sliding across in the channel, just nibbles enough to take a thin edge behind. Second in as many overs for Ngidi 22/2
    19.1 Dhaliwal falls at the last! Pace off, offcutter from Bosch, in the slot but he can't time it. Heaved to the man at long-on, and he will walk off to applause from the crowd, and plenty of pats on the back as he reaches the dugout 150/8
    2.6 miscued to mid-on, Ngidi gets a third! Dug in and Kirton looks to pull, can only splice the shot to Rabada on the edge of the ring. He dives forward to complete a simple take, and SA are all over this one 26/3
    5.4 splat! Rabada cleans him up! Movva has had a bit of a working over and finally gets his woodwork rearranged. Hurled down at 141kph, nipping past a loose swish to pluck out off stump. Canada holed below the waterline and we're not even out of the powerplay 45/4
    14.2 there's the change-up, miscued to deep third! Loopy offcutter from Ngidi and he has his fourth of the night. Drew Thaker into the big shot but he had no control over where it went. Sliced high behind point and Rabada judges the catch well coming in off the fence 114/5
    17.1 heaved down the throat of deep backward square! Slower ball from Jansen, knuckle-delivery into the pitch and Zafar's swing to leg only succeeds in picking out the man 133/6
    17.2 holes out first ball! Pitched up, cross-seam on middle and leg. Jaskaran hits it pretty sweetly but there's a man at long-on and he only has to move a few yards to his right for the catch. Jansen just looks tired as he walks back to his mark 133/7
