    Ian Funnell: Without Finn England look a bit toothless. Would play Broad for Jordan in next game.

    And that's it for Moeen, who finishes with 10-0-75-1. The Proteas need 44 from 48 balls - that six put the requirement under a run a ball for the first time in the match. Amla has 117, Du Plessis seven.

    "You don’t see that too often from Hashim Amla. That’s not his game."

    Now it's Moeen's time to complete his spell, he too sends down a wide - and Amla is on cruise control, guiding a four through third man before launching a six over the bowler's lead.

    "It is never good to lose, you want to win them all, but I think out of the loss England will be able to see if it doesn’t swing, Topley is medium pace, he needs more oomph, and when Jordan bowls he is exposed."

    Moeen to continue, Du Plessis takes guard from his compatriot Cloete and will be looking to help Amla steer the Proteas home without further trouble. As if England didn't have enough worries from this game, Jason Roy looks to he holding his side after falling awkwardly in the field.

    10 overs to go - SA have kept the required rate steady, just above six an over for virtually the entire innings.

  13. SA 251-2 (target 319)published at 39 overs

    The spinners have both got a wicket, so England keep them going. Faf du Plessis is the new batsman, steering his first ball from Rashid for a single. Rashid tosses the ball from hand to hand, as if deliberating over where to bowl to Amla. Du Plessis is foxed by a googly, but umpire Gaffaney turns down England's lbw appeal.

    "That was too full to sweep. They send people in to hit sixes, why not just say have a bat?"

    WICKETpublished at 38 overs

    Wiese b Moeen 7 (SA 249-2)

    An eventful over ends as Wiese crazily tries to reverse-sweep Moeen and is bowled. The ball before, he had launched the off-spinner for a huge six over long-off.

    So, in that over, we had a "stumping" off a no-ball beamer, a century, a six, and then a wicket. Are we all up to speed? Good.

    It's been Quinton de Kock's day, but Hashim Amla reaches his 22nd ODI century from 109 balls.

  18. SA 240-1published at 37.1 overs

    An astonishing ball from Moeen, it's a head-high full toss, Amla can't connect with a vertical bat above his head and Jos Buttler completes what would be a slick stumping if it hadn't been called a no-ball for being a high full toss. A single off the free hit ball takes him to 99.

    "They have got nothing to worry about South Africa, as Simon has just told us."

    "If England win this from here Victor, I will buy you drinks for the rest of the year," Simon Mann replies.

  20. SA 239-1 (target 319)published at 37 overs

    A change of batting order as South Africa have sent in David Wiese - presumably to give him some practice, as he wasn't due to bat until number seven. SA need 80 from 78 balls.
