Full commentary

And there's the win. A thumping for England by a team surely heading towards the final of this tournament. Their run-chase may have lacked the pizazz we were expecting, but such was the slow nature of the pitch that they just milked the singles. Outstanding bowling and fielding crushed England for 111, and although the hosts were tight in the field, they had so little to defend. Well, that's about it from us. Don't forget to check out the bulletin and, of course, we'll be back for more tomorrow. Join us then.

Swann to de Villiers, 2 runs

skips down the pitch and cracks this miles in the air! That's hit jupiter! Bopara doesn't pick it up initially then drops it going for a glory-slide. Pretty shoddy effort to be frank

a slower bouncer which hits de Villiers in the chest

15.2
Broad to de Villiers, no run

Broad tries something different, stretching out his left arm just before he reached his delivery stride, but de Villiers works it out behind square. Bopara's throw hits the stumps, but, frankly, vast amounts of whatever

19 to win. Here we go. Here's Broad
