    Thisistheafterlife: "England are favourites now." Never, never, never say that. Ever. I was starting to like this match and now it's ruined.

    Tom Priestner: Root's innings is looking better and better. He's got more than the first 4 of South Africa's line up combined!

  2. SA 168-5 (need 95 from 17 overs)published at 33 overs

    Behardien is on to a Rashid long hop, skipping back to belt a pull shot for four. South Africa are up with the rate, so England must keep taking wickets. Time to go back to pace? The Bullring is buzzing once more, as if the home fans have found a new reason to hope.

    The players have taken drinks, with Eoin Morgan gathering his men for a Churchillian address. Decent cricketer, Churchill. A wicketkeeper. Behardien and Wiese are actually doing a decent job here, nudging the ball around, taking the singles on offer. If South Africa bat the overs, they'll probably win...

    "I defy anybody, even the most anti-cricket person, not to enjoy this atmosphere. It's a great place to watch cricket."

    Still spin, still Rashid. The stadium announcer gets excited when the Proteas go past 150, but the grope of Behardien to a ripping leggie from Adil shows what a bit task South Africa have ahead of them. Was that a stumping opportunity for Jos Buttler? Behardien did drag his foot and Buttler didn't gather cleanly. Even if he had got it in the gloves, I think Behardien would have got back.

    Wayne Furnell: Oh Duminy, you have had a shocker!

    Richie O'HaraBeamand: Brilliant play from England, right back in it, now!

    Ali: C'mon England! I'm (thankfully) holding off the Disney Jr channel to watch this play out! 

  9. SA 148-5 (target 263)published at 30 overs

    I'm not sure it did keep low, Victor. It was just some pretty ordinary batting to a regulation leg-break. Duminy has run out De Villiers, then fallen on his sword. It might be best if he doesn't go back to the dressing room, but instead walks back to the hotel with his pinks and pads still on. David Wiese the new batsman. Not a whole load of batting to come.

    "We were musing whether it was a good idea to bowl Rashid but we have our answer now. He bowled a ropey first over but he started to pitch the ball better, turned it a little bit, and it kept a little low and looked plumb."

    Gone! JP Duminy was looking decent, much better than his usual wet toilet paper approach, but it was never likely to last. Stuck on the crease to an Adil Rashid leg-break, hit in front, stone dead. He looks around for encouragement to review, but is snubbed by Berhardien. England are whoop whooping once more. They are favourites now.

    "Oh my word," says Jos Buttler from behind the stumps, the poshest exclamation you'll ever hear from a wicketkeeper. He's no Rod Marsh, is he? This is better from Rashid, drift in the air, turn off the pitch...

    The DJ continues to play the big rock anthems, pumping out AC/DC's Back In Black when Duminy cuts a Moeen half-tracker for four. Is double spin the way to go for England here? What about some pace at the new man?

    "That wicket has lifted England. De Villiers was starting to hit a few but now he's out it gives the team a tremendous boost. I used to feel the same whenever we got Viv Richards out."

  17. SA 133-4 (target 263)published at 27 overs

    Adil Rashid on, a good time to introduce the leggie for the first time. Behardien, who has the back-and-forth footwork of a rocking Weeble, reaches out to drive for four. I think this could be a close one, with potential for squeaky bums later in the piece.

    Rob Zabrocky: Best run out ever Chris Woakes

    BigEv: Man of the match for SA tonight is the SA umpire .. no hang on Woakesy is now back in the frame

    Rex Vinorum: That is phenomenal Chris Woakes!!! What an effort!

    Alice Stainer: Brilliant play from Chris Woakes bowling, batting, fielding; plus answering a few naysayers in the process & giving us some hope.

    The reaction of Duminy was telling. It was a "what have I just done?" moment as he looked back over his shoulder. England were whooping like an excited hen do. The Bullring has been pretty much stunned into silence. Farhaan Behardien is the new man. I'd be surprised if England aren't reminding JP Duminy that he's just run out TBBITW.
