South Africa win with 5.2 overs to spare
South Africa win two-match series 2-0
De Villiers 71 (29), Amla 69* (38)
England slip from 157-3 to 171 all out
Buttler 54 (28), Morgan 38; Abbott 3-26
Good news: Du Plessis can't pick Rashid's googly. Bad news: neither can Jos Buttler. Du Plessis is halfway down the track when he looks back in anguish, but he sees England's keeper fail to get his mitts on the ball and the stumping chance is gone. Amla whistles Rashid over long on for a flat six.

Andrew Bowan, Chester: It's brutal and humiliating. ABdV was awful in the Tests but he's back with a bang.There doesn't look like time to throw in the towel. It'll be over before then!

Steve Clark: The only comfort I can take is that even if we had got the 220 we should have scored, we would still have been hammered.
Navneet Gautam: AB de Villiers batting today has me very pumped for the t20 world cup then the IPL after that.
SA 138-1
Amla continues his remorseless yet easy-on-the-eye accumulation, bringing up an all-artistry, no-sweat 50 with a pull through square leg.
James Hobbs: So if it suddenly rained now, would England be ahead on D-L?
scillaciRam: Can you lose by an innings in T20? Can someone tell me when it's safe to come out from behind the sofa.
Moeen into the attack, and by the X-rated standards of this innings, it's not a bad over at all - seven from it, just the one boundary from a Du Plessis cover drive.

"It was always going to be difficult for England, knowing they were going to be without that one extra bowler. Throughout the white-ball series the England bowling has not looked threatening."
Tell you what, that was out. First ball after the De Villiers dismissal, Rashid slides one on and it's hit Amla on the front pad. He's gone for all money, but the umpire inexplicably reprieves him. Faf gets off the mark with a single to deep cover.
De Villiers c Root b Rashid 71 (SA 125-1)
You can come out from behind the sofa now, bowlers. De Villiers is finally gone, attempting an almighty six and just losing his shape enough to miscue it and present Joe Root with an easy catch at long off.

"Let's hope, from an England perspective, that the scars are not too deep but this is one hell of a hammering."
De Villiers picks the slow ball with the ease of a world-leading ornithologist identifying a blackbird. Another one is whistled into the stands as AB gets down on one knee and sweeps it over fine leg. Amla follows up with a flick off his pads for four.

"Topley is like a boxer on the ropes whose legs have gone."
Topley's back. Happy birthday Reece! De Villiers treats him to a gigantic six over midwicket.
De Villiers drives for two to bring up the 100 partnership inside seven overs...
James Gallagher: Looking like five defeats in a row for England, can't blame that on bad luck, it's just a poor team performance.
Michael Davis: Same old - collapse lots down for not many. Miracle needed to win this. We still think we are better than we are
SA 95-0
Captain Eoin Morgan decides to bring spinner Adil Rashid into the attack. His first ball is hit somewhere into the Indian Ocean by AB de Villiers. A couple of balls later, AB brings up his half-century off a trifling 21 balls - beating his own record for the fastest T20 fifty by a South African...

Stuart Mitchell: Part of me hopes South Africa complete a 10 wicket victory, maybe then England will learn....maybe.
Stokes wants a caught-behind verdict when Amla misses a pull, but the replays show it was a good decision from the umpire - the ball brushed the arm guard.
Gee, I tell you what, this strategy of opening with your two best batsmen in T20 cricket - there's something in it. Amla lofts Stokes over mid-off for an effortless six, slices him over cover for four, and after a long powwow from England's council of elders, drives him through the covers for a third straight boundary. It's like watching Olympic marksmen shoot fish in a barrel...
