8.11pm So, that was breathtaking. Jos Buttler telegraphed the true nature of this surface with a rampant start, but between Bairstow's 90 from 53 and Moeen's 16-ball fifty, it was carnage out there. South Africa's catching was abysmal, but Lungi Ngidi was very impressive with 5 for 39 in his four overs, albeit the most expensive five-for in T20I history! Back shortly for the chase!

Ngidi to Jordan, 1 leg bye, fired into the pads, they scamper the deflected single into the covers. Not quite a record, but a hefty total all the same!

Ngidi to Bairstow, OUT, holes out to deep midwicket! Right under the stroke, high and not quite mighty enough! Rossouw has time to ponder his life choices, but does well enough to cling on. All the same, what an innings. And what extraordinary figures for Ngidi! 5 for 39 amid the carnage!
JM Bairstow c Rossouw b Ngidi 90 (79m 53b 3x4 8x6) SR: 169.81

Ngidi to Curran, 1 run, clonked out to the leg side, and through the hands of short midwicket! Another drop, a tough one for Rabada leaping to his right
Sam Curran is the new man, with Bairstow still in with a chance of his hundred if he can get the strike back here.

Ngidi to Livingstone, OUT, a big swish, a thin edge. Livingstone falls as Ngidi's slower ball strikes again

Ngidi to Livingstone, FOUR, flipped off the toes through fine leg! Another yorker length, but leg-sided, and Livingstone gets good bat on the slower ball
