    7.3 picks out Jacks at long-off! Tossed up again, 47mph legbreak up above the eyeline. Markram clears his front leg and looks to belt it into the stands, but doesn't get the distance and Jacks gobbles up the chance 77/4

    3.4 stunning effort at short midwicket! Dawson takes a stinger. Back of a length, Rickelton absolutely belts a pull shot at him, and Dawson leaps up, flings his arms up above his left shoulder, and takes a very sharp catch. Archer strikes, Rickelton trudges off 50/1

    3.6 slower ball, Pretorius tries to slog-sweep it into the Party Stand but gets a huge top edge. It hangs in the air for an enternity, and Wood tumbles forwards at short third to complete the catch! Two in the over, and that is surely game, set and match 53/2

    4.4 spooned up to Archer at mid-on, who makes no mistake this time! Back of a length, 85mph/136kph, and Brevis miscues his attempted heave over midwicket. It loops up via the top edge, and Archer hardly has to move. Curran gets Brevis for the second game in a row 58/3

    13.4 slashed straight to short third! Another catch for Archer, and Stubbs is put out of his misery. On a length, a bit of turn for Dawson. Stubbs tries to slap him away through the off side, but the ball skews off his top edge and it's a straightforward one on the 45-degree angle 127/7

    10.5 Buttler settles underneath it! Curran strikes with another short ball, digging one in halfway down, and gets his Oval Invincibles team-mate. Looks to smack him cross-batted back over mid-on, but it loops up towards Buttler who runs back and takes the catch over his shoulder. Curran was celebrating early, and with good reason! 115/5

    11.3 chipped back, Archer snaffles it in his follow-through! Legcutter, which Jansen looks to work into the leg side. Leading edge skews back towards him, and Archer tumbles forward to scoop it up. It initially burst through his right hand, but he clasped it in his left and was alert enough in his follow-through to keep the ball away from the turf 116/6

    15.3 angled across him from around the wicket, Fortuin looks to slog-sweep but is playing across the line and gets a big top edge. Loops up, and Buttler pouches it 158/8

    16.1 skips down, and Archer snaffles his fourth catch of the night! Rabada has a saunter down, looking to smoke this over the off side. Thick outside edge skews up to Archer, and England win by 146 runs 158/10

    15.4 brings out the reverse first-ball, and drags it straight to short cover! Ambitious from Maphaka, whose technique on the reverse suggests this might not be a shot he plays often... straight at Bethell, and Jacks has two in two... 158/9
