  1. SA 50-3

    Woops, new batter Heinrich Klaasen ducks under a bouncer and Nicholas Pooran can't collect behind the stumps - the ball skims his fingertips and runs away to the boundary.

    Joseph gets called for a wide on height and the runs will go against his figures - he doesn't look happy, it didn't seem like Pooran made a great effort with his jump.

    Meanwhile Klaasen brings up South Africa's fifty by steering the ball down to third.

    This is what is expected of Alzarri. He takes wickets on this ground; his home ground.

    WICKET

    Markram c Mayers b Joseph 18 (SA 42-3)

    Big, but not big enough!

    Alzarri Joseph has a wicket with his second ball and it's the South Africa captain that has to depart.

    Markram tries to lift the delivery over mid-off but doesn't get hold of the shot and only manages to drop the ball on top of Kyle Mayers, who takes a couple of steps back and makes a comfortable catch.

    A crucial wicket for the West Indies, who must have feared the match was slipping away from them following that strong resumption from South Africa.

    The weather is playing a big part now - the ball is wetter and it's harder for the spinners to grip it.

    Hosein is struggling with his length and South Africa are taking advantage.

  6. SA 41-2

    Target 123

    Consecutive fours for Stubbs as he makes room to club Hosein through the covers.

    Obed McCoy then dives over the ball at short third to allow Markram to run two.

    That's five overs and we'll definitely have a result in this match now.

    Russell comes on to you quicker than you think and Tristan Stubbs was almost beaten for pace.

  8. SA 29-2

    Ooof, close.

    Andre Russell almost has a third wicket as Tristan Stubbs chops his rising delivery just wide of the stumps.

    Markram then enjoys a delivery that sits up nicely, dispatching it to the cover boundary.

    South Africa have gotten over the line in some tight contests in this tournament already but this is the most highly pressured so far.

  10. SA 22-2

    Hosein whizzes a ball past Aiden Markram's bat to get us back underway.

    The South Africa captain brings out a neat reverse sweep to find a gap in a packed off side field, reaching the boundary at third, then pushes down to long-off to retain the strike.

    West Indies have got to take every half-chance now.

  12. The West Indies players jog back onto the pitch - they want to get on with it.

    Akeal Hosein will resume in the powerplay, which will now last for five overs.

    Tristan Stubbs comes to the crease after South Africa lost Quinton de Kock from the last ball before the delay.

  13. South Africa's revised target

    And we have our target.

    South Africa will chase 123 from the remaining 15 overs, resuming on 15-2.

    That's 108 runs from 90 balls. Eminently do-able, if they stop losing wickets.

  14. We can only assume the outfield is now deemed suitable because of some sponge mats sourced from the nearby primary school gym...

  15. Restart at 4:45 BST

    Hey, hey!

    We're getting a restart - the players will retake the field at 4:45 BST.

    We've been off for about an hour, and as a result have lost three overs.

    South Africa were chasing 136, that will now be revised.

  16. Still no word from Antigua, but we've now reached the point where the innings will start losing overs.

    Here's a load of India sixes from Saturday to make up for it.

  17. A lot of rain has fallen in Antigua! They say it drains well, but we will soon start to lose overs. It's also gone 11pm local time.

  18. While we wait for some news from that inspection, let's enjoy some classic Jos Buttler walloping.

    The England captain hit 83 from 38 to wrap up his side's win against the USA within 10 overs.

  19. UmpiresGetty Images

    Now then.

    The covers are off and the umpires are out on the pitch having a word with a member of the groundstaff - who's absolutely drenched, by the way.

    You can't get under an umbrella when some plastic sheeting needs to get on the pitch sharpish!

  20. Chris Jordan took four wickets in an over in that win, including an innings-ending hat-trick.

    Take a look below, and read what he had to say about the experience and his thoughts on England's prospects in the tournament.
