- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 slapped straight to Jason Roy! De Kock skips to the pitch, has a hack across the line, the ball just kept coming on with the arm, and he dragged his stroke in the air to mid-on. Big wicket 39/111.3 outstandingly judged take from Bairstow at fine leg! Blasted off the toes, hitting at the long leg-side boundary, Bairstow tracked back, grabbed the ball in two hands over his shoulder, and stopped dead with his toes pointing to the crowd, inches in from the rope, as if to take a bow in front of the crowd! The end of a fine innings 112/214.1 Slower ball, wide line, right off the toe, and straight to extra cover. Malan back-pedals and clings on. Klaasen departs to the cutter! 143/3Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL207/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.35)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Quinton de Kock, 3.5 ov), 2-112 (Reeza Hendricks, 11.3 ov), 3-143 (Heinrich Klaasen, 14.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Roy holes out to wide mid-off! Maybe a mercy killing, he just hasn't been timing it at all, a looping leading edge, dipping towards the fielder who makes good ground. England need a little pep-talk here... 77/33.4 miles in the air, and for the second night running Buttler falls just after starting to motor! Hendricks still had work to do as the ball steepled off a leading edge, out to mid-on, but he took it calmly, and SA are into the wickets 37/15.4 straight up in the air! A swish off the pads, a steepler for de Kock who couldn't sight it at first... but spotted it in good time to call and grab with the gauntlets 48/210.2 outstanding catch! Moeen rocks back on the drill down the ground, but he doesn't get hold of it! There's a lot of work for Maharaj to do, running round from wide long-off, leaping forwards and snaffling a key wicket in both hands! 88/414.3 slower ball bouncer, and Rababa has his man! A flapped uppercut from Welsh Fire's finest, and the Cardiff crowd is silenced as Ngidi at backward point runs back and clings on brilliantly over his shoulder! 128/610.6 A skip to the pitch, but Curran can't connect! Targetting the short straight boundary again, Shamsi saw him coming, dragged his length back, long-off swallows a sitter to leave a massive dent in England's ambitions! 92/515.2 snicked and gone! Width again, Livingstone chases the full length, feathers it on the half-volley, and that's a huge breakthrough. That's also, surely, the game 141/716.2 pace on this time, a wild swipe, a thin snick! Well, we thought it was... Jordan has reviewed, but there seemed to be a noise. Yep, right on the toe of the blade as he wiped across the bouncer. Good change-up from Ngidi, and quite the comeback for South Africa 148/915.6 bowled round his legs! Full leg was up, as Rashid walked across his crease to pick off backward square, but loses his bails to the legcutter. This is almost done now 148/816.4 slower ball, down the leg side ... and South Africa are reviewing! Was there a thin tickle? There was! And that is the end of that! 149/10Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL149 all out (16.4 Overs, RR: 8.94)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Jos Buttler, 3.4 ov), 2-48 (Dawid Malan, 5.4 ov), 3-77 (Jason Roy, 8.3 ov), 4-88 (Moeen Ali, 10.2 ov), 5-92 (Sam Curran, 10.6 ov), 6-128 (Jonny Bairstow, 14.3 ov), 7-141 (Liam Livingstone, 15.2 ov), 8-148 (Adil Rashid, 15.6 ov), 9-148 (Chris Jordan, 16.2 ov), 10-149 (Richard Gleeson, 16.4 ov)
