oh that's actually a sensational shot. It was a good yorker, but he opened the face of the bat, threading the needle through the gap at point on the offside. Very measured chase from Paarl Royals, who never quite let the target get out of control

Everyone's in now. Will he go over the top?
eased through the offside to level the scores
squeezed behind short fine, and it's four more. That should be the game. Full and straight, but the inside edge was fine enough to seal the Capitals' fate
Nortje bowls a slot ball which Miller absolutely nails over exra cover for four. It was a half-volley which lit up Miller's eyes, and he dispatched it to the boundary. Unfortunately for him, he chooses the worst possible time to bowl the most hittable delivery of his spell
Anrich Nortje will bowl the final over
was there to be dispatched, but he can only slash it to fine leg. David Miller refuses the single
Don't think they'll take a single here. He might have a bit of a wild swing
follows him as he backs away. Hits his pads and they can only run a leg bye
dipping yorker tailing back into Miller. He squirts it out to wide long-on and scampers back for another two
tries a smear through the onside, only to get a fine innder edge, which lets them come through for two
but he follows it up with a slot ball which is crunched through extra cover
unhittable bowling. Unlucky to even concede one. Perfect yorker that only just misses the base of off stump but he squeezes it over the keeper
thuds into the pads and deflects for a leg-bye. Magnificent over from Nortje
fortunate to get away with just two. It was trailing down leg, which he clipped off the pads. Sensational diving effort from the keeper to get fingertips to it to break the ball's momentum
sneaks underneath the bat to make it three consecutive dot balls
kisses the pad on its way through to the keeper. NIce first half of the over from Nortje
steps away in an attempt to carve it over the infield on the offside, but he bat hits fresh air instead
eases this one towards cow corner for a single
googly that he started from outside off. Was there to be cut away but that shot finds the fielder
gets across and gets underneath it! Picks it up over fine leg and places it well enough to add a precious four to the total
carved through the offside for another single
tosses in a googly but it's a tad short, allowing the South African to adjust and place it through the extra cover region
