5pm: So, about that Jos Buttler farewell party... England have rather pooped it by failing to even get to 200 after choosing to bat. No one scored more than Joe Root's 37, as South Africa held their chances in the field and wickets fell in clumps. You could tell which team is already out... soon it'll be back over to SA to see if they can knock these off and claim top spot in Group B. Matt will be back in a bit for the start of the chase

Here's Keshav Maharaj talking to the host broadcaster: "Thought we were quite brilliant in terms of our execution and catching. The foundation was set by the fast bowlers up front. We know the English can really take the game away from you. The foundation of the wickets up front does allow the spinner to settle. [Wickets] Amazing catch from [Jansen], we know Brook is an amazing player. [Livingstone] Nice set up and got the reward."

Mulder to Rashid, OUT, Red Rover. Rashid nicks behind, and England have been bowled out with almost 12 overs left on the table. Mulder finishes it off, length in the channel and a thin edge as he pushed away from his body. SA are also definitely through to the semis, even if they lose - with no margin of defeat enough to take Afghanistan above them on NRR

"The heart of England's problem is the ECB's shortsighted focus on The Hundred. NO ONE else has hone for this format - tests, ODIs and T20s are quite enough. Short term cash rather than long term health." Well, the Hundred is technically a form of T20, David King. But point taken

Che: "The song playing in the stadium literally translates to 'I want to go home to mother'. appropriate enough for the Eng batting performance." Sounds like one of the more PG tunes they've played today

Ngidi to Buttler, OUT, Buttler goes, plinked to mid-off! Just an uppish push but it went much further than intended, allowing Maharaj to make a tumbling take on the edge of the circle. Possibly a slower ball from Ngidi. The England captain's swansong is another half-formed blob of an innings. Will that be the last time he bats in an ODI?
