  2. Captain reactionpublished at 19:44

    South Africa captain Faf Du Plessis: "That's a massive get-out-of-jail card. I felt both teams didn’t play their best. The wicket was two-paced and not a normal T20 wicket but I have a smile on my face because we won.

    "We didn’t start well. Twenty20 cricket is all about executing plans and we let them get away at the start. Our bowlers came back by getting wickets. 

    "And with the bat we tried to learn from their mistakes, maybe they went a bit hard at the ball, we tried to play deeper, messed it up a little and Chris Morris, the million dollar man, saved us."

    "Overall, England if they think about it, at the halfway stage, in their heart of hearts they didn't think they would win so they have done really well."

    "Using the slowness of the pitch might have been worthwhile in that final over. Topley might learn from that, you are taught to bowl in the block hole but they were low full tosses."

    Adam Capstick: Are we going to talk about how well Chris Jordan has played, in spite of everyone's armchair criticisms?

    Dan Knight: Where have all the Jordan haters gone? So good under pressure

  8. Captain's reactionpublished at 19:35

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "After a pretty poor batting display our bowlers nearly pulled it out of the bag. Stokes and Jordan got as much as they could out of the pitch. The more and more we play the more responsibility the bowlers take on their shoulders. We created chances with an under-par score. That is a huge positive. 

    "When the ball was new it skidded on but when it was older the pace was off and it became more difficult. Probably not as bad as we displayed with the bat though.

    "We have had a reasonably good run in T20s and probably should have won tonight when we didn't deserve to."

    Joel Heritage: Not sure if the question is "How did England lose that?" or "How did England almost win that?"

    Stewart A: Excellent Game SAvsEng.... unlucky Topley! That's cricket! Just Go Again!

    "Morris has done it again. I don't know how he has done it because there shouldn't have been two there."

    Stuart Mitchell: oh wow what a finish, should have been a super over though. Poor finish from Topley.

    Joseph Bentley: Topley mate, that was awful

    Jon Dunn: Reece Dropley.

    Andrew Morris: Topley choked. First the catch, then the runout. Shoulda been Jordan. Still, fantastic match and ultra kudos to the bowlers.

  14. South Africa win by 3 wicketspublished at 19:21 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2016

    What a finish to the game. England's pain is clear to see, not least in the actions of Reece Topley, who lashes out at the stumps in fury. In short, that should have been a run out. We should be going to an extra over.

    Credit to England for so much hard work with the ball and in the field to take the game as close as that, but ultimately they didn't get enough runs and an error under pressure has cost them.

    "England let that get away again. The run out was definitely on. Topley dropped the ball, he just needed to gather it and take the bails off and we were in a Super Over."

    Morris hits it down the ground to Root and sets off like a train. The throw comes in, the SA pair are back for two, Topley for the run out... and he drops it! Run complete. Game over. Heartache for England. Joy for South Africa.

  17. SA 133-7 (2 to win from 1 ball)published at 19.5 overs

    Morris hits it back down the ground. Two runs. We are going to the last ball. Two needed.

  18. SA 131-7 (4 to win off two balls)published at 19.4 overs

    Morris hits it straight back to Topley. Dot ball. Tension. So much tension.

  19. 6 runs

    SA 131-7published at 19.3 overs

    Morris plants a full Topley ball into the stand on the leg side. Morris is doing it again. 

  20. SA 125-7 (10 to win)published at 19.2 overs

    Morris gets a four. One bounce over extra cover. That is a big blow.
