"Buttler definitely should have caught it. It was a reasonable catching height, once you get both shoulders around you are usually in a good position to take it."

"That is a chance missed for England. Buttler probably should have caught that.

That is going to be a costly miss for England I think."

Every economical over from England comes with a key caveat - that it did not contain a wicket. For only wickets will help England here. They simply don't have enough runs to rely on keeping it tight. Which is why Jos Buttler failing to take an edge off Amla is the stand-out moment of this over. Topley did his bit, but he is let down as the keeper misjudges and only gets his fingertips to the ball.

"He has been very strong on his legs. That is incredible how at the last minute he whips it with his wrists, like in tennis, a topspin forehand."

Simon Goodalll: Phooar, at this rate Eggheads looks a good bet at 6.

Tez: In a funny way getting experience of defending a low score is a good thing.Expecting low scores on Indian pitches at the T20 Cup

That is a better over from Willey. Much tighter in line and length. De Villiers comes close to a boundary but some smart fielding by Topley, running round from third man to prevent it, but no fielder can stop a leg-side flick from Amla crossing the rope.

Reece Topley starts well, but there is absolutely no pressure on the home side and Amla and De Villiers are able to add a comfortable three runs to their total.

"When you haven’t got enough runs on the board, the last thing you want to do is chuck two down the leg side."

With AB De Villiers opening, this could be over very quickly. However, he doesn't have to do anything for SA to score two fours from the first two balls of David Willey's first over. The first is four leg byes, the second is a whip to leg by AB's opening partner Hashim Amla. 11 off the first over. 

Here we go then. Will this just be a easy, straightforward chase or is there a twist in the tale?

Kieron Bird: Can we start over and have another knock? That didn't really go to plan, England.

Steve Tredup: After being 50-1, we scored only 12 runs per wicket instead of 12 per over.

Alex Haworth: 134 is a pathetic total in Twenty20. I'm not even watching this procession of a run chase.

"The innings never got going even after that start. England fritted away and lost too many wickets too quickly. 

"It is unlikely it will be enough but we will find out in an hour’s time. 

"I don't know if they are a bit jaded the magic has deserted some of the key men. Morgan is a problem."

Rabada bowls the last as the sun sets on Cape Town and he keeps South Africa's boot on England's neck with a series of yorkers. England are at least 50 runs short of what they needed. Really poor.
