00:00Good evening everyone, you join us for this match between West Indies and South Africa.
00:25I'm Mike Atherton.
00:41The home side getting first pick, they'll have a bat.
00:51Bowlers look ready, the umpires are in position for the first ball.
00:54The bowlers will want to focus on their line and lengths and let the ball do the rest.
01:01Good shot, a beauty.
01:05Nearly got through them, just got onto it in time with enough bat speed to pick up four.
01:19Markerham I don't think will be too happy with their bowler at the moment.
01:30Massive edge.
01:39Rabada shouldn't be too worried about that last ball.
01:42They've got them playing their shots, just need to tighten their areas now.
01:48Yep, times it nicely.
01:54Had all the time in the world to get in position to play that ball.
01:58Timed it nicely for four runs.
02:02Getting nicely settled at the crease now, would have been really happy with that last
02:06shot.
02:09Yes, super shot.
02:22Good return there, back from the deep.
02:24Surprised they didn't go for a third, would have been a very simple run.
02:38Not a great delivery, got it full and lucky not to be hit to the boundary.
02:58Beaten on the drive, that's wild, nothing elegant about that shot, just not timing it
03:05at all, that's poor play.
03:07Really playing all their shots that over, really expensive.
03:15The team will be after a positive innings from this batter, a great opportunity to come
03:19in and put some runs on the board.
03:22Jansen to finish this innings.
03:28Bold in, beauty, absolute beauty.
03:38It's the wicket they so desperately wanted, they've removed a real threat before they
03:42could get going.
03:43With the fall of that wicket we have a new batter at the crease.
03:48Porran will be looking to make a strong start to their innings.
03:58Good shot, that's a massive shot, just incredible.
04:02That was timed very, very well, great shot, driven down the ground and flew over the boundary.
04:09Just need to keep it simple, line and length, around about off stump and that will force
04:14the mistake.
04:19Incredible shot, straight through the covers, four runs.
04:23Just need one of the cameramen to send that one back, a little bit of width but clinically
04:27put away.
04:29Do they go full, do they go short, a lot to ponder after the boundary.
04:35Yeah, too good, not sure anyone is going to cut that off.
04:43They're the sort of shots that you just stand and admire, gets on to the back foot and rolls
04:48the wrist to keep control and find the boundary.
04:59Head over the ball, great shot, that's racing away.
05:03It was wide and suitably dealt with.
05:10They shouldn't get too discouraged with that last ball.
05:13The first step as a bowler is to get the batter playing, which they've managed.
05:18If they can find the right spot, the reward will eventually come.
05:24Hit that well off the back foot but couldn't beat the field.
05:27That's the over.
05:28West Indies are 32 for 1.
05:31And that's the end of the innings.
05:33West Indies have set a target of 33 runs.
06:18A mountain to climb as the openers come out.
06:38The goal will be to get the innings off to a good start but one of these two surely has
06:43to go on to score big.
06:58Good bit of timing there.
07:02Seen very happy to take the boundary first up, punched away nicely to get off the mark.
07:08Tried for something a bit different the last ball.
07:10The captain shouldn't mind that.
07:12If they get it right, they might just get the wicket.
07:15Big edge!
07:25A brilliant throw in from the deep caps off what was a fabulous piece of fielding.
07:33A lot of pressure coming to the crease.
07:36Not had the best of weeks leading up to this game and will want to show everyone their
07:40strength.
07:50Thick edge!
07:59A couple on offer here.
08:01De Kop gets off the mark.
08:07Let's see if they can get the ball up into the slot like before.
08:11So crucial to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
08:18Strokes it languidly away to the fence.
08:20A lovely shot.
08:22Onto the front foot early, placed it perfectly into the gap.
08:26Timed it nicely for four more.
08:37Absolutely nailed it.
08:39Nothing really wrong with the delivery.
08:41Got onto the front foot and found the space to get that one to the boundary.
08:52Great timing, right off the meat of the bat.
08:55You could see by how it whistled away to the boundary just how sweetly this was timed.
09:00A brilliant over for the batting side.
09:03Not so for the bowlers.
09:13The right armour is coming into the attack from the south end.
09:28Off the edge.
09:29As before.
09:35It can be very disheartening seeing good deliveries smacked around.
09:38Sometimes you've just got to accept it and move on.
09:46Collects that one, simple as you like, inside the ring.
09:53Gone, played all around it.
10:07A trudge back to the pavilion, a disappointing display in the end.
10:11For someone with such batting skills, this goes down as a fail.
10:15It's a difficult period as they come to the wicket.
10:18They'll take plenty of time to set themselves up before facing their first ball.
10:29Really good shot there.
10:31What a lovely shot.
10:33Really good timing, out of the middle and it raced to the boundary.
10:39A boundary off the last ball.
10:41Is it a sign they're trying to push the run rate?
10:51Great shot.
10:52At least one on offer.
11:02Got forward well and was able to drive the ball.
11:04A lovely shot and good running.
11:09That ball needed such pressure.
11:11This is where heroes are made.
11:19Great shot, great timing.
11:31This has been a famous victory.
11:33For much of the match we didn't know who was going
