    When West Indies started to have a good partnership, they were sniffing around 190. But the last few overs were executed well by South Africa to stall the runs.

    Romario Shepherd finishes the innings with a four and brings up his half-century off 37 balls in the process.

    From 43-4 and 83-7, West Indies finish on 176-8 - a good recovery.

    Former Zimbabwe captain

    The execution from Corbin Bosch has to be commended. To bowl that length in the final over is impressive.

    All sorts going on there. It went right through Jason Holder's legs.

    WICKET

    Holder run out (de Kock/Bosch) 49 (WI 172-8)

    Chaos. Romario Shepherd tried to play through his legs and didn't connect.

    Jason Holder wanted the run. Shepherd did not. Holder is run out by Corbin Bosch at the non-striker's end for 49 (31).

  6. WI 172-7

    Jason Holder sets up for the ramp but can only pick out the fielder at fine leg.

    Still dealing in singles.

  7. Tatendu Taibu
    Former Zimbabwe captain

    South Africa have bowled well in these last few overs. It makes a big difference if you can execute your plans; Corbin Bosch is trying to bowl yorkers.

  8. WI 170-7

    Romario Shepherd and Jason Holder exchange singles. 170 up for West Indies.

  9. WI 168-7

    Lungi Ngidi sticks with his slow ball strategy and only concedes five runs. Lovely bowling. He finishes with figures of 3-30.

    Romario Shepherd will be on strike for the final over, bowled by Corbin Bosch.

  10. WI 167-7

    Romario Shepherd goes for a wild wipe and collects a streaky edged four through the vacant slip region.

  11. Tatendu Taibu
    Former Zimbabwe captain

    This is total class and professionalism from Lungi Ngidi. It is his day for sure.

  12. WI 163-7

    Dot. Dot. Dot.

    Lungi Ngidi's slower ball is working wonders.

    If Harry Brook is England's saviour, Jason Holder is West Indies'. Whatever the situation, he has the ability to dig his team out of a deep hole.

    The worrying thing for South Africa is the ease in which West Indies are getting these sixes.

    It shows that if you spend time at the crease, it gets easier.

  15. WI 163-7

    Holder 47 (28), Shepherd 41 (28)

    Jason Holder finishes the over in style, dabbing Marco Jansen through deep third for four.

    23 runs off the 18th over.

    Scrap eyeing 170. West Indies will be dreaming of 200.

  16. Tatendu Taibu
    Former Zimbabwean cricketer

    West Indies have continued to play attacking cricket. That is brave and courageous but it seems to be paying off.

  17. 6 runs

    WI 157-7

    Jason Holder hits a short delivery through mid-wicket for four and follows it up with a big old six down the ground.

    Aiden Markram goes for a chat with bowler Marco Jansen.

  18. Tatendu Taibu
    Former Zimbabwean cricketer

    West Indies will want to get up to 160-170. With these two in, it is possible.

    Marco Jansen has been bowling well with good bounce and variation but he needs to be careful in these last few overs.

  19. 6 runs

    WI 146-7

    My apologies Jason, you're also flying. Holder heaves a full slower delivery from Marco Jansen over long-on for six to move onto 31 (23).

    And then... a wide. It's all going wrong for South Africa.

  20. Not out - WI 140-7

    Not out. Clear edge. Carry on.

    With three overs to go and Romario Shepherd flying on 41 (28), West Indies will be eyeing 170.
