11.5 struck in front - and given! Moeen was bowling over the wicket, fired it in full and Amla's run without being dismissed, which began against England in Johannesburg, comes to an end. Just a hint of turn in, might have been tight on line, but umpire S Ravi was happy it would have gone on to hit the stumps 133/3

7.1 smashed into the leg side... but he finds the fielder! England have the breakthrough - but have they already been broken? De Kock continued to give the bowling merry hell but this came off the toe of the bat and went straight to the man at deep midwicket 96/1

8.6 got him, sliced into the off side! It came at a cost but Rashid has bought the wicket of de Villiers! He was off balance, coming down the pitch to inflict further mayhem, think Rashid dragged it down slightly and there was some spin, the ball sailing high to the edge of the ring 114/2

18.2 full toss and dispatched for ... a great catch! A lovely, running catch by Miller on the deep midwicket boundary. They're checking it for a no-ball: that's fine. Now checking for height and that too is fine, so Root's fabulous knock is over 219/6

15.4 gone! No? Drama here. Buttler's down the pitch but is beaten in flight, and de Kock whips off the bails - or does he? It looks like he's dropped the ball. Buttler runs back into his crease, and no one seems sure, but replays confirm de Kock's stumping was fine 186/5

19.2 oh what's happened here. It's the 1999 World Cup! Driven to mid-off, they go for a run, hesitate, go again, hesitate again...the ball is thrown into de Villiers who knocks off the bails and Willey is short! 229/8
