2.4 to JC Buttler, he's got underneath this one! A spiralling launch down the ground from Buttler, but he's not got the distance. Miller sprints back, sets himself brilliantly and clings on!. 28/1 4.3 to JJ Roy, stuffed by the slower ball! Roy knows he's toast as soon as he touches it, a horrid wipe through the line, didn't pick it at all, and a steepling top-edge plops into the hands of point. 41/2 17.5 to MM Ali, toe-ended to the keeper, and Moeen is done! Wide line, chases it with glee, but a thin edge ends the fun. 218/4 19.3 to LS Livingstone, a big swish, a thin edge. Livingstone falls as Ngidi's slower ball strikes again. 232/5 19.5 to JM Bairstow, 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!. 233/6
Andile Phehlukwayo	4	0	63	1	15.75	5	2	7	3	0
11.6 to DJ Malan, huge breakthrough! Malan is suckered by the quicker ball, tighter line, luring the drive and finding the snick through to the keeper! The end of an ominous onslaught!. 112/3

1.2 to Q de Kock, back of a length, and pummelled straight at short cover! There were three men in place for that exact shot, de Kock freed his arms, connected well, but Malan makes no mistake! Huge wicket!. 3/1 1.6 to RR Rossouw, leaning back, a hopeless hack across the line! Gleeson canters in at third man as a top-edge plops towards him. South Africa's chase is off to a sub-optimal start. 7/2
Richard Gleeson	4	0	51	3	12.75	6	7	2	0	0
18.1 to T Stubbs, launched into the off side, and that will be the game! Bold, thrilling innings from Stubbs, but he couldn't get enough bat through this one, full length outside off, Roy at wide long-off swallows the chance. 184/6 18.4 to K Rabada, leg stump out of the ground! Fast and straight, route one bowling from Gleeson, and this is over bar the Sweet Caroline. 187/7 18.6 to AL Phehlukwayo, full toss on the legs, flicked to square leg! Gleeson's figures get a massage, a slower ball on the hip and Rashid does the needful. 188/8
Chris Jordan	4	0	30	0	7.50	8	3	1	0	0
Adil Rashid	2	0	17	2	8.50	3	1	1	0	0
7.6 to H Klaasen, googly, and Klaasen holes out to long-on! That was a fine over, focussed on the right line and length, then firing in the variation, another dent in the chase. 72/3 13.5 to DA Miller, stunning take from Jordan! A hard, flat drill out of the full length from Miller, it's travelling hard, dipping and swinging on Jordan as it scuds low to long-off, and the skipper falls without making an impact. It's all on Stubbs now.... 136/5
Moeen Ali	2	0	27	1	13.50	1	0	3	0	0
9.4 to RR Hendricks, slog sweep, straight at deep midwicket! Clawing the ball out of a full length, wide line, high into the night sky but not enough distance. A massive blow and now it's a long haul for South Africa. 86/4
