    South Africa don't have the strongest batting line-up.

    But 3, 4, 5, 2, 0*, 1 from England's numbers 5-10 is poor.

    And the tourists' fielding was pretty shocking at times earlier, costing them vital runs.

    Eoin Morgan will not be happy at all, not least for falling himself before getting his team over the line.

    Absolutely tremendous death bowling by Lungi Ngidi, sending down expert off-cutters that England had no answer for.

    The tourists looked on course for victory after Eoin Morgan's 19th-over onslaught.

    But Ngidi held his nerve superbly.

    A superb fightback from the hosts.

    And England stuffed it up.

    Adil Rashid taps the last into the leg side but not in nearly a big enough gap to pick up two.

    Dale Steyn calmly gathers and lobs it in underarm for Quinton de Kock to take off the bails in plenty of time to secure a one-run win.

    Curran c Miller b Ngidi 2 (Eng 173-7)

    Tom Curran tries to end it with one blow.

    The ball holds up in the breeze and David Miller snaffles it again.

    Morgan c Bavuma b B Hendricks 52 (Eng 171-6)

    Beuran Hendricks has a shred of boot behind the line.

    Eoin Morgan tried to tie the scores with a big six but picked out Temba Bavuma at wide long-on instead.

    Ben Stokes can't believe that's been called a legal delivery.

    England got 16 off the 19th over thanks to Morgan. He'll have wanted to have been there at the end, though.

  14. Postpublished at 19:24 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2020

    Eoin Morgan has been caught on the boundary but they're checking the no ball.

    This is very, very tight...

    Need seven from seven balls

    This is genius from Eoin Morgan.

    Length, pace and dispatched just over deep cover for six.

    That's his 50 up as well - 52 from 33 balls.

    Need 17 off nine balls

    Poor ball from Beuran Hendricks. Short, leg side and Eoin Morgan swivels it away crisply for four.

    England needed that.
