  1. It was a costly miss...

  2. And had the chance to remove Ben Stokes before he scored...

  3. Just like at Headingley, South Africa made early inoads...

  4. Remember, TMS will be picking their Champions Trophy XI during the break, while we'll go through the highlights of the England innings...

    This is the first time in ODI history that the fourth, fifth and sixth-wicket partnerships have all added 70 or more in the same innings.

    Only the third time South Africa have had five bowlers complete all 10 of their allotted overs in their last 282 one-day internationals. A stat of monumental importance.

    England scored 111 off the last 10. It's a bit harder to hit boundaries at will here, compared to at Headingley.

    It's a very satisfying performance for England, given it was grey and a bit drizzly early on. They didn't get off to a flyer but have gone up the gears.

  9. Eng 330-6

    South Africa will need 331 to stay in the series. England go past 300 for the 21st time since the last World Cup. Ben Stokes was brilliant (after bein dropped twice), Jos Buttler warmed to his task. I reckon England have enough...

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Moeen c De Kock b Phehlukwayo 33 (Eng 330-6)

    Miles high from a top edge, so high it comes down with snow. Quinton de Kock does the rest.

  11. Eng 330-5

    Good yorker. Single to cover. Last one coming up...

  12. Eng 329-5

    Buttler top edge. Eludes De Kock. Two taken.

  13. Eng 327-5

    Slower ball. Just a single.

  14. Eng 326-5

    Too straight. Moeen to mid-wicket for four. Phehlukayo has gone for 30 in eight balls.

  15. Eng 318-5

    Too wide. Moeen hammers over cover for four.

  16. Eng 318-5

    Hashim AmlaRex Features

    That comedy Amla drop detracted from the fact that Kagiso Rabada bowled another excellent over. He finishes with 2-50 from his 10. Quite brilliant in the context of this game. Last one coming up. Andile Phehlukwayo to bowl it.

  17. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Amla almost did a 360 pirouette down there. He didn't even touch it in the end.

  18. dropped catch

    Moeen dropped on 19

    Eng 314-5

    Oh, Hashim Amla! Another drop! Top edge from Moeen Ali. Amla at fine leg. Never looks like catching it. He even falls over before the ball arrives. Doesn't even get a hand on it. Awful.

  19. Andy Zaltzman
    Comedian & BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali brought up their 50 partnership in just 4.2 overs.

  20. Eng 306-5

    Buttler 59, Moeen 16

    We're getting to the stage where Butler could hit any delivery to any part of the ground. Bowlers beware. A flappy pull stroke goes to the mid-wicket fence, then a huge heave is missed. Another pull, four more. Poor bowling by Chris Morris, who ends with 0-66.
