England vs South Africa, 1st T20I at Bristol, ENG v SA, Jul 27 2022 - Match Result

10.15pm Right, time to draw a line under this one. Same time tomorrow? Go on then, from Miller and Binoy, good night!

Time for the presentations

David Miller: "The ball was travelling around tonight, a mammoth total, but a phenomenal knock by Stubbsy. Extremely disappointing result but two more to come. They were 98 after 10 but demolished us in the last ten, and 4-5 dropped catches cost us massively, and they executed better with their plans. One was the light, the rest was poor fielding. Stubbs played in the local T20, phenomenal competition there, clean striker, he's got a gift. Ngidi, he had good plans, five in the ring in the last over, great to see."

Jos Buttler "Great performance, what we've been looking for, brilliant total, under threat for a while but delighted with the win. Great to see guys step up and take responsibility. Welcoming Jonny back and Dawid Malan great consistency. Moeen is one of the most stylish players to watch, want to get more and more responsibility to. He played fantastically and a crucial wicket too. Jordan and Gleeson, both bowled with great pace as well. 18th over from CJ changed the momentum of the game, a brilliant over. We know that yorkers in T20 are a fantastic weapon but the margins are smaller... especially on this ground."

The Player of the Match is Moeen Ali "A nice time to go in, I went in as a left-hander to keep the left-right. Worked out nicely. Not easy to go in and hit spin straightaway but generally I back myself, try to see it and hit it. Jonny is so powerful, I try to remind him of the good things he does. Keep him calm and not go over the top. We talk options. Great wicket, and a great-sized ground for me. Get good bat on it, it travels."

9.58pm Well, that was fun. Outstanding batting throughout the evening, led by Bairstow and Moeen for England, and the rookie Tristan Stubbs with a thrilling fightback for South Africa. But the difference was in the field. South Africa were hopeless at times with their catching, England - and Jordan in particular - was inspired. A brilliant catch at long-off, and a gobsmackingly composed 18th over that went for just three runs. Without that, this could have been tight....

Doug: "Last over of the match and no-one has reviewed anything. Is this a record?" South Africa did review an lbw, but you'd be forgiven for missing it

Brian: "First time a bowler has hit the stumps in the match !" Gosh

Right, I think this one's safe now. Here's Jordan to mop up

Has that put the game safe? Not quite. Gleeson has an important over to come here

Sophia: "Playing in smaller grounds like Bristol and Cardiff is counterproductive to World Cup preparations in Australia " True. But are you entertained?

Jordan returns with two overs up his sleeve

Alex W: "England may have "not finished wel"l, but they did score 50 runs from the 17th and 18th Overs so started to finish well " Valid
