Kagiso Rabada to Sam Curran, OUT! Dragged on! Rabada gets one and this is going down to the wire. Back of a length ball outside off, Curran looks to punch it on the off side but he gets an inside edge that clatters into the stumps.

Anrich Nortje to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! EDGY FOUR! That wasn't too far from getting caught behind. Good length and just around off, Morgan looks to drive but gets an outside edge. The ball goes to the left of de Kock who is wrong-footed and he fails to catch or stop the ball. Morgan and England get a streaky boundary. Luck not going South Africa's way at all.

Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan, OUT! TAKEN! WOW! That is a stunning take from Hendricks. Malan falls now. Is there a twist in this game? Full and wide outside off, Malan goes after it and launches it towards long off. Hendricks there, jumps and takes the catch near the ropes. However, he realizes that he will go over the ropes so lobs the ball up, goes to the other side of the ropes, gets back in position and jumps inside the play to take the catch. Terrific work.

Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan, SIX! Up, up and away! A biggie now! Malan gets to his half ton in style. The no. 1 ranked T20I batsman is proving why he is there at that position. A length ball around off, Malan slams it over the bowler's head for a biggie.

Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan, FOUR! Edgy this time but Malan and England won't mind. Ngidi is not amused. Neither is his skipper de Kock. Full and wide outside off, Malan throws his bat and tries to launch him over the off side but gets a thick outside edge that races away to the third man fence.

Lungi Ngidi to Dawid Malan, FOUR! Finds the fence now! 6 off the first 2 balls. Just what the doctor ordered as far as England are concerned. A short ball outside off, Malan quickly gets in the position and slams it over square leg for a boundary.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Ben Stokes, OUT! TAKEN! Shamsi gets the revenge! He is doing it for his team here. Stokes, the massie wicket, falls now. Wicket no. 3 for Shamsi. He tosses this up again, Stokes eyes lit up again. He gets down and looks to slog sweep again. This time though he gets a top edge that balloons to to the left of the keeper. De Kock calls for it and gobbles it with ease.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! TAKEN! Bairstow holes out in the deep! Needless shot from him early in the innings but that's how he goes about his business. Fails this time and Shamsi is fired up. Tossed up and on middle and leg, Bairstow goes for the mighty slog sweep but he fails to get the timing right. It goes right down the throat of the man at deep mid-wicket. Hendricks there makes no mistake. The hero of England's last game has to take the long walk back.

Tabraiz Shamsi to Jos Buttler, OUT! TIMBER! Shamsi gets the big fish in the very first over. That was a lovely delivery from Shamsi. He tossed it up and seeing that Buttler jumped out of his crease. However, the ball spins away and beats the mighty slog of Buttler. The ball clatters on the middle and leg pole. Huge roar from Shamsi.We have got a match in out hand it seems.

Lungi Ngidi to Jason Roy, OUT! CAUGHT! Ngidi strikes in the first over and Roy's troubled period out in the middle is over. Ngidi spots Roy giving himself room outside off, he bowls it wide and bangs it short. Roy looks to hammer it over the off side but ends up getting a top edge. It goes high in the air towards cover. Klaasen settles under it and takes it easily.
