Marco Jansen to Phil Salt, SIX! Cracker of a shot and England are underway in style! Short in length, on the stumps, Phil Salt stays on the back foot and creates a strong base before pulling it with the middle of the bat over deep square leg for a six.

1.3
Kagiso Rabada to Phil Salt, FOUR! Punished! Lands it outside off, on a fuller length, Phil Salt takes a step ahead and thumps it downtown for a boundary. The mid off fielder chases the ball to the deep but it has got enough wheels on it to breach the fence.

1.5
Kagiso Rabada to Phil Salt, OUT! TAKEN! Screamer of a catch from Reeza Hendricks. He didn't have a good outing with the bat, but takes an absolute blinder at covers. Phil Salt departs early this time and the Proteas are up in delight. Kagiso Rabada fires in a fuller-length delivery, outside off, Phil Salt takes a step ahead and spanks it flatly but fails to keep it along the ground and hits it toward covers where Reeza Hendricks flies to his left and takes a brilliant catch in the air with both hands.

2.5
Marco Jansen to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Ugly but quite effective. A low full toss on the stumps, Jonny Bairstow takes his front leg out and goes for an expansive shot as he swings it across the line, but gets a thickish inside edge and the ball races through the left of short fine for a boundary.

Keshav Maharaj to Jos Buttler, FOUR! There comes the switch hit! Flighted off-break around off, Jos Buttler reads it early and reverse sweeps it over backward point for a boundary.

Keshav Maharaj to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! Jonny Bairstow won't get another life and Keshav Maharaj gets another breakthrough for South Africa. Maharaj changes the length and shortens it, bowling it slower and around off. The ball grips a bit and turns away, Jonny Bairstow rocks back and tries to cut hard but ends up slicing it in front of point. Anrich Nortje there scampers across his right and dives in to take a fine catch with both hands.

8.4
Keshav Maharaj to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was telling and Keshav Maharaj has got rid of the dangerman Jos Buttler. Nicely slowed up, on a length, and drifted into middle and leg. Buttler goes down on one knee and goes for the slog-sweep with the wind but gets it quite high on the bat and gets no distance on it. The ball hangs up in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Heinrich Klaasen settles under it and redeems himself with a reverse-cup take over his head. Maharaj has his second wicket and the English skipper walks back after a sedate inning. England three men down now.

10.2
Ottneil Baartman to Moeen Ali, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Baartman strikes now and England is in all sorts of trouble being four down now. Ottneil Baartman comes from around the wicket, and delivers a short-pitched delivery outside off, Moeen Ali tries to drag it uppishly over mid-wicket but doesn't move his feet at all, and hits it too hard, losing his shape and completely slicing the ball up in the air. The ball goes up in the air and travels straight into the safe hands of Keshav Maharaj who runs from the deep and takes a good catch ahead of deep mid-wicket.

Anrich Nortje to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Good shot! Short in length, on the stumps, Liam Livingstone clears his front leg and pulls it in front of square towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

12.3
Keshav Maharaj to Harry Brook, FOUR! Swept away with ease! Drifts it onto the pads, and lands it full in length, the ball further tails in with the wind, Harry Brook sits down and sweeps it very well behind deep square leg for a boundary.

13.5
Marco Jansen to Harry Brook, FOUR! Gets it through this time. Much-needed one for England. Hard length, and angling into the batter from outside off, Harry Brook stands deep in his crease and cuts it to perfection though backward point for a cracking boundary.

14.1
Kagiso Rabada to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Smashed away and all the way into the stands! Clocks 144 kph but lands a friendly half-volley on the stumps, nipping slightly into the batter with the angle, Liam Livingstone clears his front foot and swipes it across the line aerially and deposits it behind deep square leg for a six.

14.4
Kagiso Rabada to Harry Brook, FOUR! Flashed away! Quick hands there from Brook! Shade full in length at 137 kph, around the fourth stump, Harry Brook stays leg side of the ball and cuts it nicely and beats the diving Keshav Maharaj at backward point for a boundary. England 100 up now.

Kagiso Rabada to Harry Brook, FOUR! This is good from Brook! KG Rabada delivers a slower off-cutter outside off, on a fuller length, Harry Brook shuffles across and outside off, and scoops it over short fine for a boundary.

15.1
Anrich Nortje to Harry Brook, FOUR! A perfect start to the over for Harry Brook and England. Anrich Nortje runs in and bangs it in short around off at over 144 clicks, Brook gives him the charge and swats the ball up and over mid off for a boundary.

15.2
Anrich Nortje to Harry Brook, FOUR! Harry Brook is now toying with the field and what a momentum shift this has been. Just back of a length and angling back in from middle, Brrok makes room and smashes the ball wide of covers and picks up yet another boundary.

16.1
Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Flat and hard! Ottneil Baartman misses the wide yorker and ends up serving a full toss, Liam Livingstone hangs deep in the crease and reaches out before slapping it flat to the left of sweeper cover where Tristan Stubbs dives across but the ball evades him and goes on the bounce and into the ropes.

Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! That is a gift for Liam Livingstone. A juicy full toss wide of the off stump, Liam hangs back again and forces the lofted shot with raw power over the cover region and picks up another boundary.

16.3
Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Oh, dear! The wheels are starting to come off for South Africa and this is poor bowling from Ottneil Baartman, 14 off the over already. Another juicy full toss and on middle, Liam Livingstone swings across the line and manages to dispatch the ball over the leaping fielder at deep square leg for a biggie now.

16.6
Ottneil Baartman to Harry Brook, FOUR! A fifth full toss to end the over and Ottneil Baartman has crumbled under pressure here. On middle, not that high but enough for Harry Brook to get under it and heave it over mid on for another boundary. 21 off that over and now, England need 25 runs off 18 balls.

17.2
Kagiso Rabada to Liam Livingstone, OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Kagiso Rabada with another full toss and this time, Liam Livingstone has holed out. Livingstone will though feel that he has done his job. KG serves this one on the pads and gets it to dip just a bit, Liam Livingstone picks it up and looks to slog it over deep backward square leg but hits into the breeze. Tristan Stubbs moves to his right from deep square leg, slides on his knees, and takes a good catch under pressure with the reverse cup. Rabada seems pumped up but is it too late for South Africa?

19.1
Anrich Nortje to Harry Brook, OUT! CAUGHT! Unbelievable take from skipper Aiden Markram and he could have just won the game for his side. Anrich Nortje steams in from over the stumps and rolls his fingers over the ball before pitching it up around off stump. Harry Brook is on the front foot and looks to hit through the line but is early in the shot and the ball gets lofted over mid off. Markram backtracks and keeps his eyes on the ball before diving over his shoulder and grabbing a stellar catch with both hands. Markram even manages to keep the ball in his grasp when his elbows thud into the ground. What a turnaround this could be!

19.3
Anrich Nortje to Sam Curran, FOUR! That is a poor delivery from Anrich Nortje but Sam Curran still had to put it away. Putched up full on the legs, Curran flicks it away and gets it fine of the man at short fine leg as the ball races away into the fence. 9 needed now off 3 balls.
