    "What a day for Buttler. He was sold for £385,000 this morning and we wondered if it would affect him. He seized on mistakes by South Africa."

  3. champagne moment

    ENGLAND WIN BY FIVE WICKETSpublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2016

    A couple of uppercuts from Moeen Ali (two fours if you want a cricket term) and England finish off South Africa.

    That's how you finish an opponent: 6, 6, 6, dot, 4, 4.

    "Three sixes in a row - if only the IPL auction was tomorrow, he'd have gone for even more money! Not many people have cleared the boundary today."

    Three sixes in a row from Jos Buttler. Three sixes.

    Will you turn off the lights when you're done, Jos?

    "It was probably easier than the catches we've seen Stokes and Jordan take in the last two games."

    "It wasn't the easiest of catches, but if you want to win the game, you've got to hold on to those."

    Eng 236-5

    South Africa's moment... Moeen Ali smashes Imran Tahir to Farhaan Behardien on the long-off boundary but the all-rounder grasses it. Got to be snaffling those.

    "Will it be close? I don't think Reece Topley wants it to be a one-wicket win!"

  11. Eng 234-5 (need 29 off 30)published at 45 overs

    Kagiso Rabada is proving that a good bowler is a good bowler - no matter the format, pitch or situation of a match. England struggle to get him away in the manner they have the other bowlers. Just three from the over. Talent.

    "I've been here in the past when it was 14 rand to the pound, which was pretty good. It's nearly 24 now. It's totally different from Australia, which is twice as far away and twice as expensive."

  13. Eng 231-5 (need 32 from 36)published at 44 overs

    The luck's with England - Jos Buttler edging behind but the ball runs away to the boundary, just out of reach of the wicketkeeper. The batsman then carts four through square leg - fetching the ball from off stump. And again! Through point. Three fours in a row.

    Moeen Ali is trying to be assertive, punching a forceful single down the ground and returning the strike to Jos Buttler. The keeper shows good placement to dab a short ball into the leg side and pick up two.

    "If you're a selector and you see someone get 23 not out from here, you'll think 'I like the cut of his jib'. The fact England lost three wickets in a short space of time has changed the momentum."

  17. Eng 215-5 (need 48 from 42)published at 43 overs

    England are just a few Moeen Ali cover drives from victory here. South Africa will be thinking they're just one more wicket from really exposing the England tail. Three dots. Tense.

    Where's Neil Fairbrother when you need him?

    Rabada returns for his eighth over - SA no longer need to use their part-timers. "A good game for the neutral," notes Vic Marks on TMS, but are there any neutrals in the stands in PE? Moeen Ali helps himself to a short delivery on leg stump, guiding it backward of square leg for four, while the cover sweeper cuts off what looks for a minute like another boundary. England need 48 from 45.

    "England just need some risk-free cricket: push the singles, run hard, and hit the odd boundary. It's not quite so easy on this pitch, it's not like playing T20 with a short boundary on a belter."
