Former England batter on TMSPhil Salt deserves the applause. What an innings.
Everyone is so elated for him.
What a feeling to walk up those stairs and be surrounded by those lads high-fiving him.
Interval - Eng 304-2published at 20 overs
It's only two to finish.
Harry Brook pushes Phil Salt forward to walk off on his own.

CricViz analystThat'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.

Eng 300-2published at 19.5 overs
BreakingThere it is!
ENGLAND BECOME JUST THE THIRD MEN'S TEAM TO REACH 300 in T20IS.
Eng 299-2published at 19.4 overs
Only a single.
All of Old Trafford is muttering for Harry Brook not to mess this up.
Eng 298-2published at 19.3 overs
Phil Salt flicks over the ropes!
They're going to do it.
Eng 292-2published at 19.2 overs

It's another no-ball from Kagiso Rabada!

Former England batter on TMSEven with the field set and a perfect ball for it, Harry Brook's found a way.
Eng 288-2published at 19.1 overs
Smashed by Harry Brook. He's tried a lot of scoops and flicks but this is just noughties thrashing.
Eng 284-2published at 19 overs
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.

Former England batter on TMSIt feels like every single for South Africa is a win at this point...
Eng 283-2published at 18.5 overs
This is some sensational fielding from Tristan Stubbs which denies Harry Brook a four.
Eng 281-2published at 18.3 overs
Only a single for Salt this time.
