England desperately need boundaries. They don't get any off Abbott, who claims a wicket before going for five singles off his final over.

"I am just mildly exasperated. Rashid just needed to get bat on ball and he has played quite an extravagant shot.
"It has all gone perfectly for South Africa."
Rashid c Amla b Abbott 2 (Eng 120-8)
Frustrating. So frustrating. England needed at least 20 off these last two overs to claim a total that would even challenge SA, but Rashid starts them by slapping the ball straight to Amla for a catch off Abbott. It is all on Buttler and David Willey now.
Buttler is swimming against the mightiest of currents now but he does his best with a pull shot for four in Morris' final over. Two wides help England take 10 off the over.

Alby Stevens: Don't really mind this from England. Winning WT20 needs luck so if it comes off in 3 weeks we have a chance.
Colm: What does Morgan do between ODIs - obviously not enough match time.

"They need some magic now most obviously from Buttler who has been restrained. It is a pretty sorry looking card at the moment."
England have nowhere near enough. And I can't see them changing the accuracy of that statement in the next three overs. A wicket and just four runs from that Abbott over.

"England need Buttler on strike and need him to hit some boundaries. This is not enough."

"It looked like it might have escaped his grasp but it bobbled up and Miller caught it at the third attempt."
Jordan c Miller b Abbott 15 (Eng 108-7)
Jordan gone, courtesy of a pull to midwicket, where David Miller takes it at the third attempt. Rashid is next man. He is capable. But it will take something truly special to give England a competitive total.

"At least Buttler has stayed in. He has been shackled, partly because of good bowling and partly because of the wickets falling around him."

Ben Wire: Blimey. Currently skiing in the Alps but England are going downhill faster than most people here...
James: Stokes can't pick Tahir, Morgan offers up too many chances and Ali looks like he's playing with a flute.
Mat Harris: How times change. Last year people were moaning England were behind the times. Couple of low innings and again moaning.
England were 50-1 after six overs. In the 10 overs since they have added 56 and lost five wickets. Buttler tries to get something going with a slice through the gully region for four off Morris. That is his first boundary, off his 20th ball. Jordan adds another boundary with a top-edge from a pull. Small signs of life from the tourists.
Simon Mann

"England are going nowhere, very slowly."

Fraser Conway: I continue to say this: Ben Stokes is highly overrated, one big knock doesn't make you a superstar....
Vince Packham: Pure and utter rubbish! Why isn't Luke Wright in the team. He had such a good time in T20's recently and unlucky for Vince.
BenHur: Kevin Pietersen has just scored yet another T20 fifty, this time for Quetta Gladiators! Hearing ECB?!
Tahir bowls out. What a spell from the South Africa spinner. He has caused England all sorts of problems in his four overs, from which he claims figures of 4-21. Looks like a match-winning effort to me.

"To be competitive you need to be at least at the 180 mark, so some work to do."

Bradley Westlake: This is village from England. Just because we 'bat deep' (no contributions from the middle again) someone needs a level head.
Jay: This is all part of a master plan designed to catch the other teams unaware and easily win the T20 World Cup. Surely?
Rob Meech: Note to England: you don't have to slog every ball, not even in T20.
