- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 oh wow! That was a quicker delivery from Rashid, 94kph, it zeroed in on middle and leg and went through the gap as Bavuma floundered 86/27.4 fuller, in line, a slower ball, de Kock bends the back knee, sends it sailing towards square leg but it's met by Jonny Bairstow running round slightly to claim it just inside the boundary 84/111.2 fuller, outside off, he miss-times that and sends it to Curran at deep-midwicket. He didn't get enough on that to clear the fielder as intended and it's a straightforward catch 113/316.3 good length, outside off, Klaasen gets right under it and sends it back down the ground, it's swallowed by Ben Stokes at mid-off! So ends a Klass-y knock of 66 off 33 balls. 177/418.4 slower ball, he swats at it outside off and edges to Jos Buttler beind the stumps. A very low-key celebration from England 202/519.2 length ball, outside off, he cracks that one towards Ben Stokes who takes the catch running round from long-off and does well to keep himself and the ball the right side of the boundary rope 214/6Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL222/6 (20 Overs, RR: 11.1)Fall of wickets: 1-84 (Quinton de Kock, 7.4 ov), 2-86 (Temba Bavuma, 8.1 ov), 3-113 (Rassie van der Dussen, 11.2 ov), 4-177 (Heinrich Klaasen, 16.3 ov), 5-202 (Dwaine Pretorius, 18.4 ov), 6-214 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 throws the kitchen sink at a fullish ball outside off, it loops high, high, hiiiigh into the air... Shamsi runs in off the third-man boundary, sees it late, dives forward and takes a brilliant low catch! 15/19.3 fullish outside off, Buttler shimmies across trying to scoop, connects but it flies straight up in the air... Shamsi is running round to his left at third man in the ring, and takes the catch! Buttler departs! Saw him move across early, and followed him as he shifted his weight across, leaving him no room to work with 106/212.3 bowled 'im! Straight through, pace on as Bairstow looks to cart him over midwicket and it bursts straight through! Cleared the front dog looking to hammer him through cow, and it thuds into the top of the stumps, pinging middle back! 140/313.4 another legbreak, Malan looks to force it through point again but under-edges this time and de Kock takes a good catch behind the stumps! Horrible innings from Malan given the context, and South Africa are right back on top! 145/418.1 holes out to Beuran Hendricks, the sub fielder on the rope! Length ball, threw the kitchen sink at it looking to slug one over deep backward square, but the sub keeps his cool and takes the catch! 206/5Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL226/5 (19.1 Overs, RR: 11.79)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Jason Roy, 1.2 ov), 2-106 (Jos Buttler, 9.3 ov), 3-140 (Jonny Bairstow, 12.3 ov), 4-145 (Dawid Malan, 13.4 ov), 5-206 (Ben Stokes, 18.1 ov)
