    Chris Jordan wasn't great. He can't hide from that. Eoin Morgan stuck with his experienced bowler. You never know, Mahmood might have got smashed too. We'll never know.

    Anyway, Jack Skelton is back to take you through the interval and the first part of England's chase.

    Ant Myers: Yet another occasion where England have bowled to statistics rather than using their own eyes. Stuck with Jordan because he is a "death bowler". Mahmood ignored because he is supposedly an opening only bowler.

    We even had a bit of controversy in that innings.

    Temba Bavuma burned South Africa's review, unsuccessfully trying to overturn an lbw dismissal.

    Rassie van der Dussen was out a ball later but he was allowed to review the decision because the Ultra-edge wasn't working for Bavuma's dismissal and it was therefore decided South Africa could keep their review.

    It was all very odd and England were not happy.

    England's spinners Rashid and Moeen turned the game their way. Pressure on Shamsi, who was excellent in Cape Town, and Smuts to do the same for South Africa. The worry for South Africa is if Roy and Bairstow get off to a quick start against the pace bowlers as it'd mean England can be more selective against the spinners

    England were really good for the first 40 overs of that innings. The two spinners were excellent.

    It was spoiled a little by Chris Jordan's final three overs costing 40.

    England will still back themselves to chase this down on a good pitch.

    I'm sorry but why do England keep persisting with Chris Jordan?! He doesn't get a bucketload of wickets and to say his death bowling is meant to be his speciality, he still goes for too many runs late on. Unreliable and I don't trust his skills.

    I don't know what ball Jordan was going for there. It was right in Miller's hitting arc.

    South Africa were 188-6 but they've made it to 256-7 from their 50 overs.

    England will need 257 to win and draw the series.

    Big finish from David Miller! He has given South Africa a sniff.

    Jordan is hit for a second six over the leg side in the final over.

    Miller smashes the ball to long-on but turns down the single.

    One ball to go.

    Tom Curran was furious with Jason Roy for not diving for a possible catch at extra cover a little earlier. It would have been a difficult one to take, especially on the edge of the square, but Curran was angry that Roy didn't even try. And wasn't shy to let him know.

    South Africa's number nine gets his single with a hideous swipe.

    David Miller gets back on strike with two balls to go...

    The England field comes in tight to try and keep Sipamla on strike.

    Jordan finds his mark this time. A wide yorker. Not much Miller can do with that other than take the single.

  15. SA 248-7published at 49.2 overs

    Miller goes again but misses. A precious dot for Jordan. It still wasn't a great ball.

    Errrm. I hate to say I told you so but...

    Jordan goes for a wide slower ball but Miller picks it. The ball flies 90m and over the stand.

    Thomas Knights: So Mahmood bowls a good opening spell, then gets completely ignored by Morgan for the next 40 overs, harsh.

  19. SA 242-7published at 49 overs

    Miller 56, Sipamla 9

    David Miller takes a single off the final ball and will be on strike for the last over.

  20. SA 240-7published at 48.4 overs

    Curran is being helped by the fact he isn't having to bowl at David Miller but this is good from the England quick.
