    WICKET

    Bethell c Jansen b Fortuin 26 (Eng 222-2)

    Chipped straight and caught on the boundary. Jacob Bethell will not be adding more in this carnage.

    That does bring out Harry Brook, however.

  2. Eng 221-1

    Anyway. Five from the over bowled by Kwena Maphaka. Impressive from the 19-year-old and a boost to our anonymous texter.

  3. "He's sound, Markram's sound... He's not. He needs to keep his mouth shut."

    I'm not entirely sure who Phil Salt is speaking about but he's clearly not a fan.

  4. Eng 219-1

    What's gone on here?!

    Phil Salt is shouting and swearing at someone in South African yellow after a bouncer which was called a no-ball.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on TMS

    Phil Salt is a great player to watch once he gets going.

    There's been some planning behind it too, he's hit it all over the ground and manipulated the field.

  6. Eng 218-1

    You've got to leave your name if you're going to say things like that...

    300 scored and I will dress up as the best suggestion for the entire day tomorrow, for which I am at a wedding.

  8. Eng 216-1

    Salt 102, Bethell 24

    Jacob Bethell ends the over - one that included two no-balls and two wides - with four.

    23 from it. A rare (very) bad day for Kagiso Rabada.

    Fastest hundreds for England in T20Is:

    1. 39 balls - Phil Salt vs South Africa, Today
    2. 42 balls - Liam Livingstone vs Pakistan, Nottingham 2021
    3. 47 balls - Tammy Beaumont vs South Africa, Taunton 2018

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on TMS

    Remarkable striking from Phil Salt.

    He deserves the celebration and applause because he's been so entertaining this evening.

    And he isn't done.

  11. 100 runs

    100 for Phil Salt

    'Breathtaking batting' - Salt hits fastest England T20 century

    England's fastest T20 hundred! Phil Salt gets there in 39 balls by flicking away the free hit.

    Off comes the helmet. Onto their feet go the crowd.

  12. IT'S NOT A DOT BALL.

    IT'S ANOTHER NO-BALL

  13. Eng 207-1

    dot ball. Boos from the crowd.

  14. Eng 207-1

    Edged for four by Phil Salt to move to 99.

    He has five deliveries to beat the England record.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on TMS

    South Africa are absolutely clueless here.

  16. Eng 202-1

    And now a wide.

    Inexplicably this might be the worst performance seen at Old Trafford in the past 10 years and the lot up the road has provided stiff competition.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 202-1

    Munched into the stands by Phil Salt.

    He moves to 95 from 36. England have 202 after 73 deliveries.

  18. Oh KG... It's a no-ball...

    Free-hit coming up.

  19. Eng 195-1

    Kagiso Rabada is back.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 193-1

    Salt 87, Bethell 20

    Same shot, same result. Bethell goes four, six, six to end the over meaning Aiden Markram is punished for 19 despite starting well.
