South Africa win by 14 runs (DLS method) - report
England struggle with bat - Buttler top-scoring with 25 off 11
SA hit 97-5 off 7.5 overs before rain intervenes
Wood replaces Archer and takes two wickets in opening burst
First of three T20s, Cardiff
Right then.
One innings each, that's the deal - I'm going to hand over to Matthew Henry for the last seven overs of the match.
Don't worry, we have to do equal hours on the live - after the match he's going to spend three hours chatting road closures in central Europe.

South Africa would be incredibly pleased with that. Cardiff is generally a difficult place to bat. It is tough to know what a good score is but they have given themselves every chance.
So we've only got the hover cover on - nothing on the run-ups or the rest of the square.
The two carts with the rope are trying to skim rain off the outfield.
South Africa's innings will be over - if we get back on England will chase a revised target.

With that six the umpires have said enough if enough.
SA 97-5
Well, they lasted two more balls.
Donovan Ferreira hits what could be the last delivery of the match for six, striking down the ground.
We'll wait to see if this is terminal for the match - we don't have much leeway time-wise.

It is not a great sight if you want to see more cricket.

Fantastic yorker. With the dimensions Tristan Stubbs was always going to look behind square.
Stubbs b Overton 13 (SA 90-5)
Can't connect with the reverse scoop.
Tristan Stubbs tries another elaborate shot to Jamie Overton and sees the bails flash.
And I'm afraid to say we've got some mizzly rain coming down...

In a normal T10 game you'd take 120. In this South Africa would probably be happy with 110.

That is a remarkable shot from Tristan Stubbs.
Ramped for six!
Jamie Overton takes his second over and Tristan Stubbs steps across his stumps to dispatch its first delivery into the River Taff.
We'll have a replacement ball.
Tristan Stubbs next up, he gets four immediately by slashing Sam Curran through third.
He then pushes into the leg side and Jamie Overton throws the ball back in from long-on, with Donovan Ferreira only just making it back at the bowler's end after the batters ran two.

What a moment for Sam Curran.
Brevis c Dawson b Curran 23 (SA 73-4)
How about that for you, Dawid?
Sam Curran strikes with his first ball after returning to the England side.
The all-rounder, who impressed in Oval Invincibles's winning Hundred campaign, sends down his loopy slow "moon ball" and Dewald Brevis sends it to Liam Dawson at backward point.

England need to get one of these two pretty quickly.
More for Donovan Ferreira in the leg side!
Squarer, flatter and caught well in the crowd.
That's Adil Rashid finished with figures of 1-24.
Dawid Malan
Former England batter on TMS
Ferreira has smoked that. It didn't get 20m off the ground and has rocketed into the stand.
Donovan Ferreira gets in on the six action!
He hits Adil Rashid to a similar area as Brevis did - look out if you're over there!
