8.3 to BM Duckett, short, Duckett climbs across his pull! The extra pace and bounce takes the top-edge, Markram at midwicket pivots and pouches the ball over his shoulder. 59/1 46.5 to JE Root, full length, toe-ended to point! Root tried to open up the off-side, but couldn't get the angle out of the yorker length from round the wicket. Maphaka, the substitute, leaps well to his right and clings on in two hands. A mighty ovation as another fine innings ends. 371/5 See all photos

16.2 to JL Smith, bobbing along, to bobbing off... Smith holes out! Jumps out of the crease and tries to launch Maharaj straight, but doesn't get to the pitch. The ball goes high but not very far and it's a comfortable catch for long-on coming in. Another classy fifty and out for Smith. 117/2 40.2 to JG Bethell, fired faster and flatter across the left-hander! Bethell came galloping down to meet him, but was outfoxed by the wily old pro. Rickelton whips off the bails with his prey stranded. But what a super innings that was. 299/3 See all photos

Jofra Archer	9	3	18	4	2.00	47	2	0	4	0
0.2 to AK Markram, short, wide and nicked behind! Markram can't believe it... He stands looking utterly perplexed, having shaped to slap this loosener to the fence. Really wide, maybe some extra bounce and he threw the kitchen sink at it, only to feather through to Buttler. Audible nick, and England are delighted. 0/1 2.4 to RD Rickelton, Spandex tight and tickled behind! Brilliant line from Archer, just a hint of movement beats the defensive push. Buttler takes a low diving catch and South Africa are in a humongous hole at 6 for 3 chasing 415! The top three have been knocked over for a combined total of one run!. 6/3 4.4 to MP Breetzke, flapped to the keeper - Breetzke's record run is over! Slammed in and it takes him by surprise, half trying to work it away, half trying to leave. Takes the top edge and dollies up behind the stumps for a simple take. Archer has a third, and Breetzke - for the first time in six ODI innings - is out for fewer than 50. 7/4 8.5 to T Stubbs, snaffled at slip this time! Gets big and Stubbs is out of control once again, a phat edge loops high to second slip and Jacks is able to size it up before grasping on. Archer gets his fourth of a scintillating spell and South Africa are staring down the barrel of a record defeat. 18/5 See all photos
Brydon Carse	6	1	33	2	5.50	26	3	2	3	0
1.4 to PWA Mulder, spooned straight up and taken! Mulder tries to pull the pin but only succeeds in detonating himself from the crease. Back of a length, kicks up as he looks to muscle down the ground. The ball goes high but not very far and Brook has plenty of time to walk in from mid-off and settle under the catch. 2/2 9.5 to D Brevis, draws him forward, steered to third slip! Jamie Overton takes a juggling catch and South Africa are SIX down inside the powerplay (chasing 415, lest we forget)! Test match lines and Carse has his second of the day. Limp way to go for Brevis, looking to defend on sixth stump. 24/6 See all photos
Jamie Overton	2	0	8	0	4.00	7	1	0	0	0
Adil Rashid	3.5	0	13	3	3.39	17	2	0	0	0
14.2 to KA Maharaj, easy peasy lemon squeezy! Maharaj goes for a gallop at a big looping legbreak, Rashid drifts it into his pads with extra flight and dip, and Root at slip snaffles the simplest of edges!. 49/7 16.6 to Codi Yusuf, ping, next batter please! Skiddy lines from Rashid, a wicket-to-wicket googly, beats the inside-edge of an indeterminate poke, and flicks off the thigh into the top of off! South Africa are one wicket away from a world-beating walloping. 57/8 20.5 to C Bosch, reverse hoick, straight to backward point! Carse hops to cling onto a looping top-edge. That is very much the end of that!. 72/9 See all photos
