Junaid Siddique to Aiden Markram, FOUR, that's too easy for Aiden Markram - on a length and angling down leg, Markram gets inside the line and then flicks it fine, beats short fine to his right and runs away to the ropes

RSA-- 10/0 after 1.4 overs.

The physio is out there to have a look at Dewald Brevis. The left hand is the issue. Hit the left glove and went on to his right arm. Some magic spray will do the job.

UAE never found their gear, South Africa were very average in the field and on a dull and dim morning in Delhi - South Africa need 122 to complete their league games with a 100% record. This was an innings that never really started. They did start well with 30 coming off the first three overs, but they then stalled and never really recovered. Alishan Sharafu was once again the top-scorer with 45, but he found little or no support from his teammates. George Linde was impressive with 1/17 while Corbin Bosch used the conditions to good effect as he finished with 3 for 12. The drizzle was on for a long time and the groundstaff have now protected the pitch and the square.

George Linde: I felt the quicks did most of the hard work for me. I just had to put the ball in the right areas, and luckily I managed to do that. I was obviously under pressure after the last game, so I knew I had to put in a performance for the team. It’s definitely a bit different. There’s a lot more bounce here and it can be a bit skiddy as well. So something you have to adapt to. But we’ve got a lot of guys with IPL experience who understand the conditions here, which helps. It’s a World Cup, so whenever you’re selected, you’re just excited to play. If you’re not in the XI, you try to give your best in training and do whatever you can to help the team be successful. Yeah, it’s very important to win games and keep that momentum going into the Super 8's.
