M Amir to de Kock, BEAUTY! Amir first angles this into the off pole which means the batsman has to play at it. De Kock does look to defend but the ball swings away and beats the outside edge.

M Hafeez to de Kock, Lovely shot and even better fielding! This is floated on off, de Kock manages to find the gap through covers. Afridi from mid off hares after it, does not give up and at the very end pushes it back in. Saves a run for his side.

M Amir to du Plessis, WOW! Another jaffa! We haven't seen Amir bringing it back in too often in the World Cup but he is doing it today and looks deadly. This one starts on middle and jags back in sharply. Faf looks to flick but gets hit high on the pads. A huge appeal by the bowler again but this is surely missing the leg pole.

M Amir to H Amla, OUT! LBW! Three reds and Amla is a goner! Amir strikes on his first ball itself! Excellent use of the technology. Amir lands this around middle and leg and gets it to tail back in. Amla looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal follows but the umpire shakes his head. The ball rolls towards square leg as the batsmen cross ends. Amir is confident that is plumb but Sarfaraz is not sure. He eventually goes with his bowler and takes the review. Replays roll in and they show that the ball is pitching in line and is hitting the leg stump. South Africa have been rocked early, just the start they did not want.

19:26 (IST) Jun 23

A review for LBW! Amir is very confident that Amla has been caught plumb LBW in front. He has convinced Sarfaraz to take the review. Ahmed though is not so sure but goes with his bowler. Seems to be pitching outside leg. NO! In line and three reds. Amla is on his bike! What a review.

Mohammad Amir to bowl from the other end.
