  1. SA 65-3

    Blessing Muzarabani fizzes one pas the edge of David Miller, who has two off seven balls, and appeals.

    Is there an edge? Sikandar Raza ponders a review then decides against it.

  2. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is one of the best cover drives you will see in any formats. People try and overhit in T20s but that is just a beautiful cricket shot.

  3. SA 60-3

    Blessing Muzarabani back into the attack for Zimbabwe.

    Two dots and a single from David Miller brings Dewald Brevis on strike.

    Brevis cover drives - gloriously - for four. Fantastic strokeplay.

    I'm probably going to curse Dewald Brevis here, but every time I watch him bat I think he could be one of the great batters in this generation.

    He is up there with Harry Brook in that regard.

  5. 6 runs

    SA 59-3

    Excellent judgment from Dewald Brevis.

    A delivery skids on low from Graeme Cremer which Brevis is able to get down and punch for a couple.

    Final delivery of the over and Brevis plays a wristy biff down the ground for six.

  6. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Oh my goodness. He didn't look where the ball went, he just looked at his contact point. He knows if he connects where he wants to it is out of here.

  7. SA 49-3

    Dewald Brevis powerfully strikes across the line and pings Zimbabwe spinner Graeme Cremer into the stands over deep mid-wicket for six.

    A no-look maximum from the South Africa battter.

    Ryan Rickelton, meanwhile, immediately has an ice pack on his head as he takes his seat in the dug out.

  8. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Ryan Burl is in all sorts of wrong positions there but he is a very, very good fielder and he's found a way to hold onto it. It's a brilliant catch.

    Three wickets in the powerplay and we know that normally means trouble in T20 cricket.

  9. SA 43-3

    The players take drinks at the fall of the wicket.

    David Miller with a lesser-spotted leave to one pushed wide by Brad Evans.

    It looked he ran in too far initially but that is a fantastic diving catch. It is a big wicket.

    WICKET

    Rickelton c Burl b Evans 31 (SA 43-3)

    Brad Evans goes back to the short ball and gets his man!

    Ryan Rickleton, who was hit on the head by Evans a little earlier, takes on the short ball with a hook but ends up hitting it skywards off the toe.

    Ryan Burl gets himself into a bit of tangle at deep mid-wicket but somehow manages to cling on to the catch.

    It is onion bag for Ryan Rickelton first up. Then a slower ball that is a step hit. He din't get anywhere near the middle of the bat with the second but the modern bats are so good. They just trust that it is going to go for six if they have a full swing of the bat.

    Rickleton just has so much confidence in his game at the moment.

  13. 6 runs

    SA 42-2

    Rickelton punishes Evans with back to back sixes over the leg side

    Brad Evans has been well and truly dispatched by Ryan Rickelton!

    Back-to-back sixes from the left-hander South Africa batter. The first is launched over long-on and sails into the stands.

    Evans responds with a slower ball and Rickleton plays the same shot and while the contact is not quite as clean it still has enough on it to fly over the boundary.

  14. SA 30-2

    No wickets in that third over from Sikandar Raza but he's been the key man with the ball for Zimbabwe thus far.

  15. SA 30-2

    Ryan Rickelton and Dewald Brevis are content to farm the strike off the remainder of Sikandar Raza's over.

  16. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bowling three overs in the powerplay is very, very tough so I did wonder if Sikandar Raza would want to keep this over up his sleeve.

  17. 6 runs

    SA 27-2

    Rickleton steps outside leg stump to smash Raza for 'big six' over long on

    Ryan Rickleton gives himself room and pummels Sikandar Raza over the boundary at long-on. The South Africa left-hander hit that as clean as a whistle.

  18. WinViz has it 51-49 in South Africa's favour against ZimbabweBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz is struggling to split the two sides at this stage.

  19. SA 21-2

    Solid start from Brad Evans with just three runs off the over.

    Sikandar Raza keen to keep the pressure on, decides to keep bowling.

  20. SA 19-2

    Ryan Rickelton prods a single off Brad Evans down the ground to get off strike.
