    Chris Jordan won't have expected to be batting 45 minutes ago. Can he get his side over the line?! They only need one hit.

    England need five runs to win.

    Rashid won't get England there! He has nicked one through to Quinton de Kock off Ngidi. Still England can't get it done.

    Target 257

    A good over from the impressive Lutho Sipamla but South Africa need wickets not dots. The fans that remain are still singing. It has been a good day.

    England need five from 48 balls to win.

  4. Eng 252-7published at 41.4 overs

    You get the sense Rashid enjoys his batting. He steps away and plays an inventive pull into the ground and out for a single.

    Five needed.

    Moeen and Rashid are closest of mates - you rarely see one without the other on tour. They'll be enjoying this out there together.

    Target 257

    Now that really should be that. England fans can relax. Moeen pulls through mid-on to the boundary.

    Six to win.

    Now Ngidi stands with his hands on his hips after Moeen chips one into a big gap on the leg side. England edge two runs closer.

    10 more needed.

    Groans from the home crowd as the umpire holds his arms wide. Ngidi didn't think that should have been a wide. It was tight, passing Moeen Ali just above those guidelines.

    Lungi Ngidi will continue. The lights are on now.

    England need 13 runs. South Africa need three wickets.

    England need 13 more to win

    Jason Roy has his feet up in the England dressing room. He still looks calm. Eoin Morgan is sat next to him and isn't giving a lot away.

    Moeen keeps the strike with another careful guide to third man.

  12. Eng 242-7published at 39.4 overs

    Careful! Adil Rashid tries a risky ramp over the keeper and slip. He gets nowhere near it. This shouldn't have been so tight. England should have cruised this.

    Sam: Why do England do this? Cruising and then they start to play brainless cricket. Curran didnt need to do that.

    Beuran Hendricks starts his final over. Moeen knocks a single. 15 more needed.

    England need 16 more runs. They have three wickets left. Adil Rashid joins his best mate Moeen Ali in the middle.

    T Curran c Bavuma b Ngidi 5 (Eng 241-7)

    I never learn. The commentator's curse strikes.

    England just can't get this done. Tom Curran tries to hit the big shot but skies the ball to extra cover. Temba Bavuma takes a few steps back before steadying himself and taking the high catch.

    The crowd is starting to thin out now. Those two boundaries have just put England right back on top.

    Target 257

    Oh, Moeen I've missed you. There's nothing quite like his drive through the covers is there?

    He brings the runs required down to just 16 with a sensational hit for four.

    Pressure? What pressure. Tom Curran drives his second ball through the covers for four.

    21 more needed to win.
