    Right! That's it from this game. England take the series 3-0. A lot to ponder for the Proteas. They will have the chance to return the favor when the ODI series starts. The first game of the 3-match series will begin on Friday, 4th December 2020. The action will begin at 1630 local (1100 GMT). Do join us for that game. Until then, goodbye and take care!

    England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says that it was extremely pleasing. Tells both the captains got it wrong as they expected it to be a low scoring game. Morgan admits they missed their execution with the ball in the second half and credits South Africa to cash in on those opportunities. Tells Malan and Buttler were outstanding and it builds a lot of confidence in the dressing room. Morgan says that pressure situations are when you are going through tough times and says chasing a total like that after not getting off to a flier is an encouraging sign. Morgan says putting an all-around game is where they can improve. Tells they have progressed nicely as the tour has gone on. Morgan says they have a large group of guys some of which are here just for the 50-over series. Tells there is not a great deal of time to change and expects another tough series.

    South Africa skipper, Quinton de Kock, admits it is disappointing not to defend 191 but credits the England players for the way they played. De Kock tells they played well and they played cleverly and they were unable to find a way to stop them. De Kock feels they have not played as badly as perceived and says playing against England was always going to be difficult. Tells they are still confident. Tells they have a lot of fresh and new faces and expects them to come with a good attitude.

    For his supreme knock in this game and his overall performance in the series, Dawid Malan is named the Player of the Match and also the Plyer of the Series. Malan says that he is very happy and says that he got starts. Tells it was nice to get momentum and adds the wicket played really well. Malan admits he thought that 190 was a bit too much. Credits how they started and said the boundaries were small. Malan says he had the momentum and adds Buttler did not have the start he would have liked. So he took the charge as he had momentum and Buttler joined later. Malan says he plays the same way every time and adds sometimes it comes off sometimes it does not. Tells he has the power. Malan says that he had two sixes in his mind to finish but that boundary changed the calculation. 

    Stay tuned for the presentation as we will hear from both the captains and also find ut who the Player of the Match and Player of the Series is.

    Earlier in the evening, de Kock won the toss and opted to bat. The hosts managed to get to 191 courtesy of brilliant batting performance and partnership from Rassie van der Dussen and Faf d Plessis. Heading to the break it looked like it was a good enough score to avoid a whitewash but that was not to be as England hunted down the target comfortably.

    A lot to think about for South Africa, especially the bowling performance. They were just all over the place. The hosts have a lot to work upon before the T20 World Cup next year. Linde was the pick of the bowler and the only bowler to go under 7 rpo. The rest were taken to the cleaners. Nortje was the sole bowler to get a wicket but that was just a mere consolation as the Proteas bowler showed no fight with the ball. 

    Chasing 192, England did not get off to a good start as Roy's poor form continued and he departed early. Buttler started off slowly but Malan was at it from get-go. Buttler then joined the party but played second fiddle. You usually don't say that about Buttler but Dawid Malan was just brilliant. The pair added an unbeaten 167-run stand with Malan scoring an unbeaten 99, while Jos was magnificent for his 67! A comfortable chase for England who achived it without sweating a bit.

    A record chase at this venue and it has been achieved with minimum of fuss. What a masterclass of chase this has been from Malan and Buttler. The tourists have outplayed, outclassed and outmuscled the hosts emphatically in the series and clean sweeped the T20 series.

    Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Malan crunches it through point for a boundary.

    The no. 1 batsmen in the world has got the chance to go big again!

    5.1

    Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan

    0

    no run, NOT OUT! DRS saves Malan. Indeed it is pitching outside leg. Perfect use of the review from Dawid Malan and England. Good start from Ngidi though. He starts with a fullish ball on the pads, Malan looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. Ngidi appeals and the umpire raises the finger. Malan consults Buttler and takes the review. There is nothing on Ultra Edge but the Ball Tracker shows that it is pitching outside leg. Good review.

    Review time! Malan has been given out LBW! That looks close, unless it is pitching outside leg. 

    Who will bowl the last over of the Powerplay? Lungi Ngidi it is.

    End of over 5 ( 11 Runs )

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! And he is off the mark in style! Short ball, very fast form Nortje. Malan swivels and pulls it through square leg. No chance for the fine leg fielder. Top way to get off the mark.

    W

    out, OUT! LBW! Nortje gets his man! Roy fails again. This time after a little start. A length ball around off and middle, Roy looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pad. They appeal and the finger is raised. Roy gets to Buttler and has a word about the review but he opts against it. Good call in the end as replays later roll in and show that they would've waste the review as the ball would've hit the leg pole.

    3.3
