7.50pm: Well, that's the first part of the job done by South Africa. Now, all they've got to do, is restrict England to 131 or less - any more and it's Australia who will progress (England still aren't through either, but 87 will be enough, 106 to top the group). Conditions looked a lot better for batting than we've seen in Sharjah recently, and there's that short boundary to take into account. But SA have a formidable attack, including the No. 2-ranked T20I bowler, and everything to play for. Join PDP shortly for the start of England's chase
Here's Aiden Markram, whose 24-ball fifty was the second-fastest of the tournament: "A lot of credit to Rassie and Quinny, they start they gave us. Some nights it comes off. [Pitch] Probably better than most times, still squatting here and there. We've got something on the board to bowl at. Not everything in our control but our bowling attack's been incredible, hopefully we can do something special."
He could still get to 99*...
Rassie is blowing at the non-striker's end. Don't think he's quite got the gas for a ton here
Jordan to finish, SA could get 190 with a fair wind

Wood finishes with 0 for 47, among his most-expensive analyses
"Calm down guys," chirps Amiya, "Buttler got this target."
Wood back
"Has Rassie Van der Dussen scored a hundred other than the warm up match in t20s?" Not in international T20, SV

"As an Aussie fan, this SA inning is nerve wrecking!!!!!" squeaks Aniket
Even with two right-handers at the crease, SA are successfully targeting the short boundary
