Presentation time...first it's AB de Villiers: "Thought it was a good toss to win, it wasn't a 210 wicket. The top order didn't take responsibility and we came up short. Most of our senior players got in and didn't make it count, including me, I played a very poor shot."
Alastair Cook: "A lot of character was shown there. It was a really good bowling performance. You wouldn't want to chase too many more on that wicket. Eoin and Jonathan played two very good innings. It's always nice to get a first win. There were a few nerves up there. Credit to the way we batted. So to cross the line is really pleasing. Jade came in, we wanted a wicket-taker, and he took wickets for us."
The Man of the Match goes to Eoin Morgan. Fair decision. He was the only batsman to score freely on the pitch. "Tonight the pitch played consistently throughout and I could play myself in. I've been in the side for a while now and I enjoy taking the reins in the middle order."
That wraps things up for the evening. It's all square with two to play and the next match is at Lord's on Sunday. There's still cricket going on today (or tomorrow, or whenever it is) with the ODI in Abu Dhabi. So you can head over there if you like. For now, though, from Andrew McGlashan and Alan Gardner it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
England win by four wickets and the series is level. They are also back to No. 1 in the one-day rankings. A solid performance from the home side, sparked by the bowling of Jade Dernbach who was excellent on his recall. He was backed up by Ravi Bopara and James Anderson, while James Tredwell also took two important wickets on his return to the team. With the bat, England knew all they had to do was bat out the overs and they'd win. Eoin Morgan gave the innings important impetus while Jonathan Trott played the ideal anchor knock. We'll bring you news of the Man of the Match shortly. I'd go for Dernbach, personally, as I thought he made the different with key wickets. But it could also be either Trott or Morgan.
