  1. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on TMS

    That was absolutely massive.

    Another yard and that would have been out of the stadium.

    Very rare you see that at Old Trafford.

    The crowd here have had their money's worth tonight.

  2. 6 runs

    SA 99-4

    My word, Donovan Ferreira can hit the ball hard.

    This one pings off the roof of the hotel and into the stands below. Watch out in the crowd...

  3. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    England were 150-1 at this point of their innings...

  4. SA 88-4

    Target 305

    Another tidy over from Liam Dawson despite the first ball being clubbed for six by Tristan Stubbs.

    The run rate is approaching 20 per over for South Africa.

  5. SA 79-4

    Target 305

    A wicket and just four runs from Rashid's opening over.

    Indispensable.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Markram c Jacks b Rashid 41 (SA 77-4)

    Instant impact from England's cheat code, Adil Rashid.

    Aiden Markram played nicely for his 41 from 20 balls but picks out Phil Salt at long-off as he continues to try and target the spinners.

    He grimaces as he trudges off. He knows his team's fate is inevitable.

  7. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on TMS

    That was a really good over from Liam Dawson under pressure, and he's set it up nicely for Adil Rashid.

  8. SA 75-3

    Target 305

    Liam Dawson drags it back.

    That's experience for you.

  9. Dawid Malan
    Former England batter on TMS

    That's absolutely huge.

    Liam Dawson has given that a little bit of flight and he's been smashed down the ground.

  10. 6 runs

    SA 73-3

    How will South Africa play Liam Dawson here?

    Well, there's an early indication. A monstrous six from Aiden Markram flies down the ground.

  11. Two wickets for Jofra Archer so far.

  12. SA 64-3

    Target 305

    In normal circumstances, South Africa are going at a decent rate.

    But obviously, these are far from normal circumstances. England dominate the powerplay again - they were 100-0 at the end of theirs.

  13. SA 58-3

    Target 305

    The slowest of slower balls from Sam Curran concludes a fine opening over.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Brevis c Archer b Curran 4 (SA 58-3)

    England are on a roll.

    Pace off from Sam Curran, and Brevis top-edges to Jofra Archer at mid-on.

    South Africa, frankly, need a miracle.

  15. SA 58-2

    One talented youngster replaces another.

    Here's Dewald Brevis... and he beautifully guides his first ball for four.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on TMS

    Luke Wood makes a bit of a meal of it but it's another thing that's gone England's way.

    I thought this first powerplay was flying by, but it's just slowing down a bit now.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Pretorius c Wood b Archer 2 (SA 53-2)

    Two in the over!

    The talented youngster Lluan-dre Pretorius lasts just two balls as his eyes light up at some width from Jofra Archer, but the 19-year-old just slices it high into the air for Luke Wood to take a smart catch.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on TMS

    It's a brilliant catch from Liam Dawson.

    That one was an absolute belter.

    When everything goes your way, it all goes your way - and England are having one of those nights.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Rickelton c Dawson b Archer 20 (SA 50-1)

    Four, six, six, out.

    A great catch from Liam Dawson, as Ryan Rickelton absolutely nails the ball at him at mid-wicket.

    He's plucked it from almost behind him, such was the power behind it. It feels weird to say "England needed that", when they're defending 305!

  20. 6 runs

    SA 50-0

    Back-to-back!

    Straight over the bowler's head once again. This game has been chaos from ball one.
