Reece Topley to Janneman Malan, OUT! CAUGHT! Reece Topley strikes! He has been among wickets in this format in recent times and provides an early breakthrough yet again when his team needed it the most. This is a fullish delivery on middle. Malan looks to lift it over the in-field. However, he gets no timing on this one and ends up hitting it straight towards mid on. Curran takes an easy catch and English bowlers are bowling quite well with this new ball.

Reece Topley to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in the over for Topley and England are right back in this game now! Some people will term this as an unfortunate dismissal but Rassie van der Dussen has played his part in this wicket. Topley lands it on a length, around leg. Rassie van der Dussen goes a bit across again and looks to clip it away. He gets a fine part of his blade and the ball goes to Buttler behind the stumps who takes it comfortably. Had Rassie van der Dussen played it staying still in his crease, the result would have been probably different.

David Willey to Quinton de Kock, OUT! CAUGHT! Now, David Willey gets into the act and gets a big fish, Quinton de Kock! England are on a roll here. Just short of good length, around off. Quinton de Kock looks to turn it away towards the leg side but does so a bit early. He ends up getting a leading edge towards short cover and Liam Livingstone dives forward to takes a fine catch. South Africa will be feeling the heat now!

David Willey to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! RUN OUT! This is disaster for South Africa as Aiden Markram departs without even facing a delivery! He was the in-form batter and this is a big blow for the Proteas. This is a fullish delivery swinging into middle. Heinrich Klaasen looks to work it towards the leg side but misses. The ball goes off his pads behind square on the leg side. Aiden Markram calls for a quick single and Buttler behind the stumps is aware and does brilliantly to collect the ball and fires a direct hit at the batter's end. The replays show that Markram is out of his crease and South Africa are in huge trouble here.

Reece Topley to David Miller, FOUR! Ohh..the fielder at point got a finger-tip to it but luckliy for Miller the ball does not stick in his hand and runs away for a boundary. This is a fullish delivery, outside off. Miller drives it on the up and gets it off the outside half of his blade. The ball goes through the point region for a boundary.

Sam Curran to David Miller, OUT! BOWLED! Sam Curran gets a wicket in his first over and it is a big wicket. He uses the cutter this time. This is on a length around off, skids off the surface and comes into the left hander. David Miller did not pick it up and gets beaten as he looks to punch it away. The ball goes crashing into the stumps. South Africa needed something special from Miller but sadly it will not be a case today.

Moeen Ali to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! STUMPED! Moeen Ali outfoxes Heinrich Klaasen and really the only thing that can stop England from winning this game from hereon is rain and that too if it comes before the end of 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen skips down the track and Ali pulls his length back a bit. It is around off and Heinrich Klaasen plays for the turn as he looks to work it towards the leg side. The ball skids off the surface and beats the outside edge of the blade. Buttler behind the stumps collects the ball and whips the bails off as Heinrich Klaasen is well out of his crease.

Adil Rashid to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust! That one skid through! Probably because of the rain as till now the wicket seemed to be holding a touch. On off, this one skids through. Maharaj is unsure whether to come forward or play back, in the end, he is late in getting his bat down, the ball sneaks through and hits the off pole. England only three wickets away now.

Adil Rashid to Dwaine Pretorius, OUT! TAKEN! That should be the final nail in the coffin, if not nailed before! Rashid gets another one. This is tossed up outside off, Dwaine Pretorius looks to go over covers. He miscues it and Roy takes a good catch running behind.

19.3
Adil Rashid to Lungi Ngidi, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Adil Rashid gets his third wicket and England are just one wicket away now from a big victory. This is on the shorter side and on off. The ball holds a bit off the surface and Lungi Ngidi looks to push it away. However, he ends up playing it early and the ball loops up straight back to the bowler. Rashid takes an easy catch off his own bowling.

Moeen Ali to Anrich Nortje, OUT! CAUGHT! That is it for this game and England win by 118 runs. This is slower through the air on off, Anrich Nortje dances down the track to heave it over long on but did not manage to get to the pitch of the ball and mistimes his shot. The ball goes high in the air and Moeen Ali at long on takes an easy catch. This has been an excellent performance by England as they level the series.
