    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.

    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.

  6. Eng 299-2published at 19.4 overs

    Only a single.

    All of Old Trafford is muttering for Harry Brook not to mess this up.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 298-2published at 19.3 overs

    Phil Salt flicks over the ropes!

    They're going to do it.

  8. Eng 292-2published at 19.2 overs

    Phil Salt misses the free-hit as Rabada beats him with a slower ball.

    It's another no-ball from Kagiso Rabada!

  10. Eng 291-2published at 19.2 overs

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

    It feels like every single for South Africa is a win at this point...

  15. Eng 283-2published at 18.5 overs

    This is some sensational fielding from Tristan Stubbs which denies Harry Brook a four.

  16. Eng 281-2published at 18.3 overs

    Only a single for Salt this time.

    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.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 280-2published at 18.2 overs

    Cheers as "not out" appears on the big screen.

    They're dancing in the stands.

    That definitely looks like he's hit that. I think that's six.

    This is going to be six...
