Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller helped crash 89 off final six overs after Ireland had South Africa at 85 for 4 at one stage.

But it was extra bounce that Parnell got up front, which got the better of Andy Balbirnie, who tried to bunt a back-of-a-length ball through the covers but got a leading edge to Keshav Maharaj, and departed for an eight-ball duck. Parnell is probably third in the allrounder queue, after Andile Phehlukwayo and Pretorius, but his performances with the ball in this series have been a timely reminder of what he can do.

They could have removed him in the next over too when Mark Adair teased the outside edge with a ball that angled away but was too good for de Kock to hit. Ireland created several opportunities with the new ball but had to wait until Quinton de Kock played a poor stroke for one of them to count.
