4.1 to Q de Kock, and Moeen has the breakthrough! Good length on middle, De Kock's eyes lit up as he dropped the knee and drove it down the ground, Joe Denly running in from long-on to take a strong catch. 48/1

15.1 to DA Miller, length ball, he skies it down the ground, nice catch by Chris Jordan running back from mid-off!. 135/4
3032110.6653101
18.4 to JT Smuts, full toss, straight and he's sent that down the throat of Ben Stokes at mid-off!. 170/5
302829.3372200
19.1 to D Pretorius, wow, beautiful death bowling from Jordan! Very full, he tempts Pretorious into a hearty swing, he misses and the ball uproots off-stump!. 172/6
19.2 to BE Hendricks, what?! And another! Full, moving slightly away onto off-stump, and the woodwork is pegged back again. Jordan on a hat-trick!. 172/7
402315.7592000
11.3 to T Bavuma, homing in on leg stump, Bavuma sweeps but miss-times and he's picked out Moeen Ali at square leg. 113/3
302418.0042021
10.5 to HE van der Dussen, shorter ball, pulled sharply towards square leg and Jonny Bairstow runs in to take a sharp catch. Ben Stokes with the breakthrough!. 111/2

2.2 to JC Buttler, toe-ended to wide mid-off, and it's Steyn 1 Buttler 0! Back of a length from Steyn, Buttler was drawn into the launch over the covers, but he couldn't connect properly, and with that Steyn draws level at the top of South Africa's T20I wickets list!. 19/1
403037.5092100
17.4 to BA Stokes, slapped to wide long-on, and Stokes is gone! Ngidi lands the big fish with a very cunning slower ball, 115kph, offcutter, on a very wide line, forcing Stokes to fetch it and he can't connect properly!. 152/5
19.2 to TK Curran, in the slot, Curran takes on the midwicket fence, but the wind, the wind! That's gone high, high, high into the floodlights, but sticks in the breeze, and plops into Miller's hands in front of the scoreboard! Ngidi flings his hands high... he's still got a chance to be the hero!. 173/7
19.5 to MM Ali, bowled him! A pinpoint off-stump yorker! Moeen plays all round it! The ball dips beneath his loose wafty nothing stroke, in fact he turned it into a yorker with a gallop to the pitch. He hadn't bargained on the offcutter, which perhaps he should have seen coming. And now it's all on Rashid!. 175/8

8.5 to JM Bairstow, thumps the back leg, and up goes the finger! It looked leg-sided, but he was a long way back... probably clipping leg at worst... England opt not to review... Jonny might regret that when he gets back to the dressing room. But it's a timely breakthrough. EDIT: Bairstow's was just clipping... the verdict would have stood regardless. 91/2
15.3 to JL Denly, flicked on the up and straight to deep midwicket! The field was set, two men back, 111kph slower ball, Denly can't control it! And suddenly we have a game!. 137/4
402506.2562000
3033211.0055100
14.2 to JJ Roy, round the wicket, a monstrously telegraphed slower ball! That was such a caricature dismissal, Roy had time to flap that ball in four or five different directions, instead he chose a toe-end to short fine leg! A fine innings, and ignominious end!. 132/3
18.6 to EJG Morgan, holes out to wide long-on, but is it too late? Morgan curses, he didn't need the big shot, but was lured by the full length... cripes, that's close to a no-ball, but I think he's okay... Just!. 171/6
