Lungi Ngidi was the last man to get out but his dismissal got more pain for his batting partner at non-strikers' end. He smashed Nadeem on the first ball he faced and the ball hit Anrich Nortje (right) who came in the way. He was in excruciating pain before being consoled by Ngidi. That was a bizarre end to South Africa's disappointing tour. AP
