South Africa are back in their traditional dark green kit today - and they yelp as one when Jason Roy gets off the mark with an edge through gully.

Alex Hales, by the way, is averaging 68 in this series. He's 25-1 to be top scorer in next month's World T20, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli the favourites at 9s. Worth a dabble?

England take six off the opening over. Good start.

Paulette Farrell: Come on England Men & Women let's win the cricket today! Double Whammy @bbctms, external on in my studio all day.

It's time to get this show on the road. Alex Hales and Jason Roy will open for England, with Kyle Abbott clutching the new ball.

Totum: Went to the Strictly live tour at the O2 last night. Hope England play like Jay McGuiness & not like Ainsley Harriott today.

"There's great anticipation and quite a lot of tension here. England need a good first hour to set them up. Hopefully they've still got some energy left after Friday's match."

Rob Stileman: Luke Wright - in my eyes he can do no wrong! Wish he'd been picked for the World T20.

"As it starts now you would put South Africa as favourites, having won two in a row and with key players in form. It's a big challenge for England.

"It's interesting that England have picked the side they think will win the game rather than pick a side with the World Twenty20 in mind."

Match referee Javagal Srinath - he was a cracking bowler in his pomp - leads the players on to the pitch for the national anthems. Each player is with a mascot.

The Proteas players chat to the excited young child holding their hand. England stride out silently - except Joe Root, who is having a chat with his friend. Good to see.

"One of the great things about this series is it's been far more compelling than many one-day series we watch. South Africa are so proud of their home record and don't want to be beaten while England are on a one-day crusade. They recognise that winning in South Africa is a huge leap forward so there seems to be a lot riding on this series."

Simon Hughes will be part of the Test Match Special team hitting the airwaves shortly on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra or via the audio icon at the top of this page.

You can also listen to the decisive women's ODI between England and South Africa here. England have won the toss and will bat first in that one.

So, we're 12 months on from the start of last year's World Cup.

It was a disastrous campaign for England, but they're one victory away from another ODI series win today. They've turned things around - but how?

We've tasked our analyst Simon Hughes with explaining it all...

Find out more here.

South Africa captain AB de Villiers: "We've not hit our straps all series so we hope to put together the perfect match today."

The toss was slightly delayed by some overnight rain, so the pitch could be a bit spicy first thing. It's been sweating under the covers and there's plenty of cloud cover for the Proteas seamers to take advantage of.

Here we go. The captain's are ready for the toss. Eoin Morgan calls heads and the coin comes down as tails.

AB de Villiers decides to field first.

Good morning all. I trust you've not forgotten about the romance today.

If you have, you better get to the garage. Pronto.

If you're all sorted, well done. Now settle down and enjoy the cricket.
