Absolutely phenomenal.
Three hundred runs in a T20.
Who would have thought?

That's the first time a side has reached 300 in a T20I between full member nations - India came closest previously, scoring 297-6 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, 2024.
Oh and it's another no-ball!
England reach 300 mark to post their highest ever T20 total
There it is!
ENGLAND BECOME JUST THE THIRD MEN'S TEAM TO REACH 300 in T20IS.
Only a single.
All of Old Trafford is muttering for Harry Brook not to mess this up.
Phil Salt flicks over the ropes!
They're going to do it.
Phil Salt misses the free-hit as Rabada beats him with a slower ball.
It's another no-ball from Kagiso Rabada!
Good fielding form Kwena Maphaka but Harry Brook still gets back for three.

Even with the field set and a perfect ball for it, Harry Brook's found a way.
Smashed by Harry Brook. He's tried a lot of scoops and flicks but this is just noughties thrashing.
Salt 133, Brook 31
Marco Jansen finishes with 0-60 from four overs.
England need 16 from the last to break 300. Harry Brook will be on strike and Kagiso Rabada is going to bowl.

It feels like every single for South Africa is a win at this point...
This is some sensational fielding from Tristan Stubbs which denies Harry Brook a four.
Only a single for Salt this time.
Dawid Malan
Former England batter on TMS
They're absolutely smashing it here.
I feel like they're going to get 300 at a canter.
It's been extremely frustrating to watch the South African bowlers, and England have taken full advantage.
Cheers as "not out" appears on the big screen.
They're dancing in the stands.
Dawid Malan
Former England batter on TMS
That definitely looks like he's hit that. I think that's six.
This is going to be six...
