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."

1
Jordan to van der Dussen, 1 run, short and wide and flapped for a single, van der Dussen finishes on 94 not out, a career-best and it's given SA a shot at overhauling Australia for a semi-final spot here

He could still get to 99*...

19.5
6
Jordan to van der Dussen, SIX, high and handsome, a golf swing leg side... Roy is racing around from long-on but won't prevent it from going for six! He tripped over the boundary marker as he stretched out a hand, but the ball squirted away just beyond the rope
19.4
1
Jordan to Markram, 1 run, pitched up on off stump, can't get under this one, punched down to long-on
19.3
6
Jordan to Markram, SIX, but Markram has fuel to burn, slammed over long-off! Missed the yorker and he takes it on the half-volley, sends it screaming over the ropes. Magnificent way to go to fifty

Rassie is blowing at the non-striker's end. Don't think he's quite got the gas for a ton here

19.2
1
Jordan to van der Dussen, 1 run, hits a length in the channel, van der Dussen looks to swing for the short leg-side boundary, squirted to fine leg
19.1
1
Jordan to Markram, 1 run, goes for the wide yorker first up, thick-edged into his back pad and they take one

Jordan to finish, SA could get 190 with a fair wind

  • Chris Jordan3-0-20-0

Wood finishes with 0 for 47, among his most-expensive analyses

18.6
2
Wood to van der Dussen, 2 runs, shortish and tucked leg side again, Wood gives chase but won't prevent them coming back for a second
18.5
2
Wood to van der Dussen, 2 runs, moves across early, think that was another offcutter from Wood, swung leg side into a gap

"Calm down guys," chirps Amiya, "Buttler got this target."

18.4
1
Wood to Markram, 1 run, length ball, 145kph/90mph, swings across the line and just gets an inside edge for one this time
18.3
6
Wood to Markram, SIX, cutter from Wood, powered into the boundary boards! Sits back and crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrunches a sweet hit over deep midwicket!
18.2
2
Wood to Markram, 2 runs, chopped into the ground backing away, they run anyway... and Wood then volleys the ball wide of Buttler! Another needless single given up
18.1
0
Wood to Markram, no run, short of a length and zipping through as Markram attempts a scoop and misses

Wood back

"Has Rassie Van der Dussen scored a hundred other than the warm up match in t20s?" Not in international T20, SV

17.6
4
Jordan to van der Dussen, FOUR, gets the reverse-scoop going this time! Joe Root-esque, dare I say it... comes across and sets himself for another length ball outside off, reaches forward and frying pans it over short third. Masterfully done
17.5
1
Jordan to Markram, 1 run, banged in and Markram swats it off the back foot
17.4
1b
Jordan to van der Dussen, 1 bye, goes length in the channel, RvD swings and misses... but England are sloppy again, Buttler's underarm bypasses Jordan and this pair are alert, pinch the single
17.3
0
Jordan to van der Dussen, no run, short of a length and skidding through, Jordan went up for caught behind as van der Dussen pulled at it... Buttler not interested in the appeal
17.2
3
Jordan to Markram, 3 runs, miscued over the covers, a wide full toss from Jordan and Markram doesn't really get hold of it... but the throw is wide of the bowler and they manage to steal a third
17.1
1
Jordan to van der Dussen, 1 run, goes full outside off, 136kph/84mph and dug out for one

Jordan to bowl the 18th

"As an Aussie fan, this SA inning is nerve wrecking!!!!!" squeaks Aniket

16.6
4
Wood to Markram, FOUR, pace off but it's short, wide and slapped! The wide long-hop slower-ball bouncer doesn't fool Markram, as he muscles a cut in front of square. Brings up the SA 150
16.5
2
Wood to Markram, 2 runs, short and pulled, comes off the splice but the lack of power enables them to scurry two into the leg side
16.4
0
Wood to Markram, no run, back of a length, 144kph/89mph and Markram can't get this away

Even with two right-handers at the crease, SA are successfully targeting the short boundary

16.3
4
Wood to Markram, FOUR, goes wide on the crease but Markram makes room, slices it over short third! Used the pace on the ball, 147kph/92mph, and he whipped the hands through while opening the face
