    The Wanderers is absolutely electric, while England fielders in blue are scattering all over Johannesburg. Morris, swinging like a rusty gate, takes a couple through the off side, then Woakes bowls a horrible wide.

    James Goddard: Edgbaston 2005 all over again.

    George Gray: England should have won we will lose now though and rue the missed opportunities! Sorry wifey valentines is now the decider.

    Peter Goodwin: England snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Sensational from Chris Morris! He's picked this up off his legs, nailing it right out of the screws. Six over mid-wicket. Ten off two balls. DJ Otzi's Hey Baby plays. What an awful track.

    "I know Root got a hundred but if you think about Woakes' all-round contribution he could be the man of the match because of his runs down the order, his bowling and the running out of AB de Villiers. That run-out could well be the turning point of the match."

    Chris Woakes to come on. I think I can hear the DJ playing The Locomotion by Kylie Minogue. It's like being at a wedding, especially with the South Africans dressed as bridesmaids. First ball, Morris edges for four...

    The fielding by England has been really poor, Other throws, missed run-out and stumpings. Let's hope it doesn't cost them.

    Eels in Oxford.

  7. SA 226-8 (Morris 27 from 23 balls)published at 44 overs

    Cunningly, in this tight situation, England have got Chris Jordan on the field. South Africa need 37 from the final six overs, so more or less a run ball.

    Ashley Paul: Please don't keep saying 'surely England have this wrapped up?'. It makes me nervous.

    Adam Wheeler: Should have been game over now. England need to be more ruthless.

    Fetch! Too short, Morris pulling for six. The Wanderers back to life. The men in pink remain alive. Just.

    "England should definitely win this match. Kyle Abbott can stick around but it's all about Chris Morris and how many he can get. Last man Imran Tahir can't be relied upon to make many runs."

  11. SA 219-8published at 43.3 overs

    It's still Reece Topley, so we wait to see if/when Broad comes back. Only one run from the first three balls, including some excellent fielding by Topley off his own bowling.

    Chris Elliott: England are currently so good we give the opposition 5 extra wickets and we'll still win!

    Matt Harding: Odd SA scorecard. 6 out of the top 7 batsmen got 20+ runs yet not one got over 40. They got in then got out.

    John M Butt: Not impressed with Morgan or Rashid today

  13. SA 218-8published at 43 overs

    Could England rue the lives given to Morris? He takes Stokes down the ground for a couple. 45 needed from seven overs. Run-rate not a problem, but wickets in hand certainly is. Surely time for Stuart Broad?

    "Morris has been a bit reckless and I don't think he needs to be yet. He should get the score down to 20 and then panic will set in among the England players. He needs to be more calculated."

    Should be out again. Chris Morris takes a suicidal single, but Eoin Morgan can't hit the stumps. Morgan might even had chance to run and take the bails off. England have had enough chances to have wrapped this up long ago.

    This is it, game over. Surely? No! Adil Rashid drops Chris Morris, who decides he has to play some shots. Running back from mid-off, Rashid gets both hands to it, but it spills out as he hits the ground. The sort of chance you see Chris Jordan eat for breakfast.

    "Lovely captaincy from Morgan. I criticised him earlier but credit there. Topley bowled a perfect line and perfect length to a new batsman and Rabada knicked it. Morgan had a slip in and full marks to the captain for attacking because you need to take wickets."

    Rabada c Root b Topley 0 (SA 210-8)

    First ball! Kagiso Rabada goes for a golden duck, edging Reece Topley to Joe Root at first slip. Surely England have this match and series wrapped up? South Africa still need 53 with only Kyle Abbott and Imran Tahir to come.
