Shahzad Malik: England are unrecognisable from 12 months ago. Attacking batters, two spinners, maybe a fast bowler short.

SA 8-0 (target 319)published at 1 over
South Africa off to a good start as a textbook cover-driven four from Quinton de Kock gets the innings under way from Willey's third delivery. And as there's a flash of lightning in the distance, De Kock repeats the shot for his second boundary of the over.
Fingers crossed, we'll get a full game in. Remember, both sides need to face 20 overs for a match to be construed.

I sound like a broken record at times on the matter of over-rates - but again, we've had a shortened interval. The lights are on, but the sun is still out - Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla are ready to face the first over, to be bowled by David Willey. Stand by.

Ntini on Rabadapublished at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2016
BBC Test Match SpecialFormer South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini on Kagiso Rabada: "Taking 13 wickets in a Test match, he will never be forgotten. We're trying to build a rainbow nation within a white-dominated sport like cricket. Everyone talks about the transformation of our country, and having him and Bavuma in the Test side is a good sign of things to come."

Prague Barbarians CC: If there had been a wicket off of a no ball or wide for the "last" ball Topley would have looked pretty silly with no pads on.
Taylor ready for 100th ODIpublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2016
So what did new England women's coach Mark Robinson say to his players after they won his first game in charge on Sunday?
England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor on TMS: "It probably wasn't the best performance in the field, we looked a bit rusty, but he was quick to praise us individually. I'm really enjoying my cricket at the moment, the excitement of the Women's Big Bash League has carried on."
Taylor plays her 100th ODI on Friday - listen to commentary here on the BBC Sport website.

Kieron Bird: This is very evenly poised. Good start for England but SA pulled it back. It feels like it could go either way. Is 318 enough?
Stuart Mitchell: 318-8 is a good total on that wicket, decent recovery after the cluster of wickets also. England's to lose i think.
Root: Run-out 'my bad'published at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2016
England's Joe Root speaking about his run-out on Sky Sports: "My bad really. It was disappointing to get out like that because we knew we wanted to get over 320. It was my fault I should have just gone back.
"320 was just over par on that wicket. It is about making sure we can defend it. We are going to have to be smart about how we protect that short boundary."

'Strange innings'published at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2016

BBC Test Match Special"It was a strange old innings that. It was going nicely, then stumbled, picked up and stumbled again.
"South Africa not out of the game not by any means."

So, do England have enough? Restrict South Africa to under 318 and they win the series. Restrict them to exactly 318 and we'll have a thrilling tie.

The last ball is another full toss from Abbott, Rashid steers it to the mid-wicket sweeper and they take one. A useful last-wicket stand of 27.
Eng 317-8published at 49.5 overs
Rashid can't get a bat on a wide yorker. Dot ball, which ensures Reece Topley can take his pads off.
Eng 317-8published at 49.4 overs
Full toss, Willey smacks down the ground for one. Every run counts...

Ebony Rainford-Brent
Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special"The worst thing you can do is bowl a slower ball on a length at this stage. That was a good old whack."
Eng 316-8published at 49.3 overs
Slower ball from Abbott, Willey picks it up and launches it over mid-wicket for six! Important little stand, this.
