  1. Eng 11-1

    Swing and a miss from Jacob Bethell. It gets tougher. I might have to reverse my earlier statement.

  2. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on Test Match Special

    England are in the mix.

    Not quite 13 from the first over, but you'd take that.

  3. Eng 11-1

    Need 58 runs from 24 balls

    Jos Buttler grumbles to himself after missing the final delivery from Rabada - one that is thudding into the middle of the pitch.

    Marco Jansen will bowl the second.

    I really like how Jos Buttler sets himself. Some people can look a bit fragile moving around the crease but he sets such a stable base.

  5. 6 runs

    Eng 11-1

    'It was coming!' - Buttler ramps Rabada for six

    Ramped for six by Jos Buttler!

  6. Eng 5-1

    England are under way. It's not the cleanest hit from Jos Buttler but four down the ground.

  7. Eng 1-1

    After a single to Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler tries the ramp and is almost bowled.

  8. Jacob Bethell, a man in form, is England's number three.

    69 from 29 needed.

  9. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    I wonder if Phil Salt knew he was out there.

    What a strange fielding place as well. A really fine square leg, just in the middle of nowhere.

    And Phil Salt has picked that guy out, he hasn't had to move.

    Salt c Maphaka b Rabada 0 (Eng 0-1)

    'Not the way England wanted to start' - Salt caught first ball

    First ball! Phil Salt swings the ball straight down to the one fielder in the gloom at fine leg. 19-year-old Kwena Maphaka hurls the ball into the dark sky to celebrate.

  12. Eng 0-0

    Need 69 runs from five overs

    The South Africa players are well wrapped up in long-sleeved jumpers.

    I think England should win this given the equation. If they were chasing this four down at an end of a T20 you'd say they had a chance. With 10 left they must be favourites?

    Kagiso Rabada has the ball in hand.

    It's going to be greasy, but there are short boundaries to maximise.

  14. South Africa hit nine sixes in total in just 7.5 overs. England will come out swinging too.

    Brevis hits Dawson for consecutive sixes down the ground

  15. The powerplay will be 1.3 overs.

    Only two bowlers will be allowed to bowl two overs. I assume that will be Jansen and Rabada but we shall see.

    The umpires are wandering down the steps.

  16. Phil Salt looks in the zone as he stands alongside Jos Buttler fully padded up. Those two will open up for England.

    Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada will take the new ball, surely. That could be tough.

  17. Why we don't play cricket in the rain

    Now, it might seem like there's an obvious answer to the question of why we don't play cricket in the rain.

    But if that's not a satisfactory response, BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything service has got an alternative one.

    Take a read here.

  18. England's target is 69 from five overs.

  19. Restart at 21:48 BST

    We have news. The match will restart at 21:48.

    England's chase has been reduced to five overs.

  20. If you're reading this in Baden-Baden and there's some traffic cones out, I want to know.
