    I don't think that's a bad thing for South Africa. Behardien was taking up a few balls and South Africa will have wanted Chris Morris to come in - he really can hit a cricket ball.

    Behardien c Moeen b Plunkett 17 (SA 266-5)

    Another crucial moment for England as Farhaan Behardien is put out of his misery, skying Liam Plunkett with an ugly hoik straight up for Moeen Ali to snare.

    Chris Morris strides out...

    50 for Millerpublished at 43.2 overs

    And that's an easy single for David Miller to bring up his half-century off just 34 balls.

    Well Behardien does go for it but misses out on a first four as Joe Root produces an excellent diving stop on the boundary.

    The visitors get three to put Miller on strike on 49...

    Behardien has to go for it because he's got plenty of strong hitters waiting to come in.

    This match is really in the balance. It's much tighter than the first game where England chipped away at South Africa to get the win. You really can't say which way this is going to go.

  7. SA need 69 runs to winpublished at 43 overs

    Behardien does get a single, before Miller does the same to 49 and his partner picks up another run off Moeen's final ball of the 43rd over.

    69 to win off 42.

  9. SA 259-4published at 42.2 overs

    Miller has reached a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 48 off 32 balls.

    Behardien to face now, can England target him or at least keep him on strike?

    Here's that belting six that David Miller struck off Moeen Ali to help South Africa regain momentum after the loss of Quinton de Kock.

    Mooen is back into the attack now...

    It's a good test for England heading into the Champions Trophy. They will have to win these kind of tight games to win the trophy.

    Looking back at how badly South Africa fielded and bowled in the last 10 overs, I'd be disappointed if England bowled as badly.

  12. SA need 75 runs to winpublished at 42 overs

    Ben Stokes has only bowled three overs so far - does that knee injury mean he's not going to bowl again this game?

    It's looking increasingly likely as Jake Ball is recalled for Moeen Ali. The lanky fast bowler has not been impressive today but a wicket here and all is forgiven.

    Instead, he drags one down and Miller pulls it for four through backward square leg.

    A good riposte though as he gets one through Behardien that misses the stumps by a couple of centimetres before the South African picks up two off the final ball.

    David Miller is lethal on the sweep today - once again getting in a big stride to clatter Joe Root away square to the boundary.

    Eight off the over.

  15. SA 238-4published at 40 overs

    Another decent over from Moeen Ali but South Africa do well to keep rotating the strike and pick up seven runs.

    Into the last 10 overs we go. The visitors need 93 runs and have 60 balls to do it.

    If you've just joined us or are having a bit of a break away from the FA Cup final, these are the two South Africa wickets to have recently fallen, putting England back in the game.

    First Plunkett snares captain De Villiers before Buttler takes a great catch to remove De Kock on 98 off the bowling of Moeen.

  17. SA need 100 runs to winpublished at 39 overs

    Joe Root drifts down towards leg stump and David Miller proves to be proficient on the sweep once more, putting it away for four before rotating the strike.

    The hosts feel they can get at new man Farhaan Behardien though as he struggles to work Root away until a single off the final delivery.

    De Kock had a lapse in concentration, he just relaxed for a split second.

  19. 6 runs

    SA 224-4published at 38 overs

    David Miller isn't half bad with the bat though and he hits a monstrous six off Moeen Ali over extra cover.

    The first six of the innings for South Africa and at a crucial time, with England threatening to get on top.

    Moeen does well to only concede a further two runs from the over.

    Joe Root, the (26-year-old) boy wonder, is into the attack now, hoping to locate his golden arm and grab some more South Africa wickets.

    The Test captain rifles through his over, just three off it. Pressure on the tourists.
