South Africa captain Aiden Markram: “That was a great game to be a part of all in all. I think both teams can appreciate it. We witnessed two really good knocks today and I hope its remembered for their sake. We knew we were a little bit off the boil with the ball and the margin for error is tiny and it showed again today. Sometimes you just have to laugh it off. We still have a great bowling unit. To be honest it was a bit more vibey than I expected. Some of the guys said they were 15 short. The guys always believed that if a couple guys get in like Quinny and Reeza did, it was gonna come down close to the end so I think a lot of the credit has to go to the two of them getting us off to such a great start and making the rest of the chase a bit more comfortable. [on Reeza Hendricks] He does it his own way. We talk about playing an attacking brand of cricket, but he also showed that doesn’t mean that you have to slog. Reeza once again proved today the type of player he is. He’s all class and times the ball beautifully. It’s great to be able to take a series down to the last game. Building up to World Cups and things like that, you want to play in must-win games so it’ll be exciting come Tuesday night.”
