SIX! Jamie Overton to Donovan Ferreira. Half volley, to leg backing away driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Once again, the rain started to pour, and the players got off the field. That will conclude the first innings. South Africa have set a solid total after batting first. Despite the early loss of Rickelton, Aiden Markram made a brilliant start during the powerplay. Brevis and Ferreira then joined him, helping to guide their team to a commanding position with some powerful strikes. On the other hand, Luke Wood impressed by taking two wickets. Can the hosts successfully chase down the target? Let's find out after the break.
