Quinton de Kock (W) c Jos Buttler b Sam Curran 37 41 5 1 90.24

13.6

Sam Curran to Quinton de Kock, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, Sam Curran has done it! He gets a big wicket of Quinton de Kock! Quinton de Kock looks disappointed and rightly so, this pitch is a belter and he would have hoped for a big score here. A good bumper this from Curran, angling into middle. Quinton de Kock tries to hook it but gets a faint edge on it as the ball goes back to the keeper Buttler. He takes it and England have a cruical breakthrough.

Temba Bavuma (C) c Sam Curran b Moeen Ali 36 28 4 1 128.57

8.4

Moeen Ali to Temba Bavuma, OUT! CAUGHT! The change in bowling does wonders for England and Ali draws first blood here. It is tossed up, full and on off. Bavuma tries to go over mid on but does not connect cleanly. He chips it to the left of mid on. Sam Curran goes to his left, slides in and takes a sharp catch. England strike against the run of play.

Rassie van der Dussen c Ben Duckett b Sam Curran 111 117 6 1 94.87

47.2

Sam Curran to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! CAUGHT! That's an end to a fantastic knock from Rassie van der Dussen! This is full and outside off. Rassie van der Dussen slices it to deep cover off the bottom of his blade. The ball goes high in the air and Ben Duckett running forward, takes a fine catch. Rassie van der Dussen gets a standing ovation as he walks back to the hut here.

Aiden Markram c Dawid Malan b Olly Stone 13 19 1 0 68.42

21.1

Olly Stone to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT! Olly Stone comes into the attack and strikes on his very first delivery. Aiden Markram goes back cheaply. The crowd has gone a bit silent now. England are making good inroads in this game after a scratchy start. It is a full-length ball, on off. Aiden Markram punches it rather firmly towards short cover. Dawid Malan there takes a sharp low catch to his right.

Heinrich Klaasen lbw b Adil Rashid 30 32 0 2 93.75

30.5

Adil Rashid to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! LBW! Heinrich Klaasen departs and another South African batter who fails to kick-on after getting a good start! This one is tossed up nicely on middle. Heinrich Klaasen goes for a big sweep shot. However, he misses it and the ball hits him on the pads. It looks dead straight as soon as it hits his pads and the umpire too raises his finger quickly after an appeal from English players. This is a big wicket and South Africa need a partnership here!

David Miller c David Willey b Sam Curran 53 56 4 1 94.64

49.3

Sam Curran to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! What a brilliant catch this is and Miller is absolutely gutted! Short and outside off. It is a slower delivery and Miller flat-bats it hard and flat towards long on. The ball seems to be travelling over long on but Willey uses his height and takes a catch first at the boundary line. Then as he realises that the momentum is taking him over the ropes, throws the ball in the air. Goes out and then comes back inside the fence to complete a superb catch!

Wayne Parnell c Dawid Malan b Jofra Archer 2 4 0 0 50

48.3

Jofra Archer to Wayne Parnell, OUT! CAUGHT! Jofra Archer gets a wicket! On a length, on off. A slower delivery and Parnell makes room to slash it away. However, he fails to get any timing on this one and hits it aerially to point. Malan takes an easy chance and South Africa lose their sixth wicket.

Jason Roy c Wayne Parnell b Kagiso Rabada 113 91 11 4 124.18

29.1

Kagiso Rabada to Jason Roy, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, Roy holes out in the deep! He absolutely smashed it but finds the fielder in the deep. However, it has been a speical knock from the dynamic opener and gets a standing ovation as he walks back off the field. This is short and on off. Roy pulls it hard to deep square leg. It goes flat and seems to be travelling all the way but Parnell in the deep runs to his left and takes a very fine catch to send back dangerous Roy back to the hut.

Dawid Malan c Temba Bavuma b Sisanda Magala 59 55 9 0 107.27

19.3

Sisanda Magala to Dawid Malan, OUT! CAUGHT! Sisanda Magala finds the breakthrough. Just what the Proteas were after since the last 19 overs. It is a short ball, wide outside off. Malan looks to pull it away but only manages to get a top-edge on it. The ball goes straight up in the air. It goes to mid off. Temba Bavuma settles under it and takes a dolly.

Ben Duckett c Quinton de Kock b Anrich Nortje 3 5 0 0 60

20.5

Anrich Nortje to Ben Duckett, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! One brings two for South Africa and Ben Duckett departs! Short and outside off. Some extra pace and bounce from Nortje there and Ben Duckett who tries to cut it gets an outside edge. The ball goes back to Quinton de Kock behind the stumps and he takes it safely to bring some hope back for the home side. Can South Africa capitalise on this opening?

Harry Brook lbw b Sisanda Magala 0 3 0 0 0

21.3

Sisanda Magala to Harry Brook, OUT! LBW! South Africa get another and now they are surely back in this game! Harry Brook departs for a duck on his ODI debut! Magala lands it on a length, on off and gets this one to nip back in sharply. Brook who tries to work it towards the leg side, misses as he plays all around this delivery. It looks dead straight as soon as it hits his pads and the umpire too raises his finger after Magala makes a loud appeal. Brook has a chat with Roy but decides to walk back without taking the review.

Jos Buttler (C) (W) c Quinton de Kock b Anrich Nortje 36 42 4 0 85.71

36.5

Anrich Nortje to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Anrich Nortje gets the big fish now. Jos Buttler departs on 36. The skipper cannot take his side over the victory line here. Good-length ball, in the channel. Jos Buttler looks to punch it through the line but only gets a thick outside edge. Quinton de Kock takes a strong catch behind the sticks. South Africa have revived hope now.

Moeen Ali c Rassie van der Dussen b Sisanda Magala 11 17 1 0 64.71

33.4

Sisanda Magala to Moeen Ali, OUT! CAUGHT! Sisanda Magala is turning the game on its head. England now has half of their side back in the hut. Magala goes short once again, outside off. Moeen Ali goes for the pull but this time the ball flies off the top-edge and flies to deep square leg. Aiden Markram in the deep takes a solid catch. Is this the opening that can allow South Africa to make inroads in this game?

Sam Curran c Quinton de Kock b Kagiso Rabada 17 21 0 1 80.95

41.6

Kagiso Rabada to Sam Curran, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rabada gets a big wicket of Sam Curran in his last delivery of this game and England are eight down now with 33 runs still needed! Shortish and outside off. Probably not that short to cut and it nips away a bit too. Curran tries to cut it but gets an outside edge to Quinton de Kock behind the stumps who takes a regulation catch and South Africa are still in it. In fact they are slightly ahead in this game now!

David Willey c David Miller b Anrich Nortje 8 9 2 0 88.89

38.5

Anrich Nortje to David Willey, OUT! CAUGHT! Anrich Nortje gets his second wicket. Some faces have already dropped in the English dressing room. They are falling like a pack of cards now. Nortje bangs in a short ball, on off. David Willey looks to hook it away but catches a thick outside edge. It flies out to the off side where David Miller takes a simple catch.

Adil Rashid not out 14 17 1 0 82.35

Jofra Archer c Heinrich Klaasen b Anrich Nortje 0 4 0 0 0

42.5

Anrich Nortje to Jofra Archer, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, Anrich Nortje gets a wicket and England are nine down now! What a come back this has been from South Africa! They are pumped up and rightly so, the World Cup qualification is on the line. On the shorter side, around off. Too quick for Archer as he awkwardly tries to work it towards the leg side. However, he only manages to get an outside edge to backward point where Heinrich Klaasen takes a very important catch. The crowd goes wild!

Olly Stone c & b Tabraiz Shamsi 1 5 0 0 20

44.2

Tabraiz Shamsi to Olly Stone, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Tabraiz Shamsi picks up the final wicket and he takes off here into his celebration. It is looped up, on leg stump. Olly Stone tries to flick it away but it flies off the leading edge to the right of the bowler. Tabraiz Shamsi moves to his right in a flash. He fumbles but accepts it on the second bite. SOUTH AFRICA WIN THE GAME BY 27 RUNS.
