  1. Eng 92-2published at 9 overs

    Target 178

    Eoin Morgan, wearing slightly lighter blue pads than all of his team-mates, is off the mark first ball, clipping to square leg for a single.

    Ball tracking shows that indeed was umpire's call on leg stump so Jonny Bairstow would not have overturned it had he reviewed.

    Andile Phehlukwayo is cannily mixing up his pace and foxes Jonny Bairstow with a quicker one.

    Bairstow is struck halfway up the pad, massive appeal and given.

    Worth a review? Not for YJB as he strides off. Was probably clipping leg stump.

  3. Eng 90-1published at 8.3 overs

    Jonny Bairstow gets a thin nick on one as Andile Phehlukwayo's appeal for lbw is turned down.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Roypublished at 8 overs

    Eng 87-1

    Shamsi sends down five good balls, conceding just a single off each.

    But he drags back the last and Jason Roy smashes it through square leg for four.

    That's Roy's half-century off just 22 balls - the joint second fastest England T20 50 with Jos Buttler.

    Eoin Morgan has the fastest - 21 balls.

  5. Eng 80-1published at 7.2 overs

    Left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi is on.

    Jason Roy tries to smack a reverse sweep away but top edges it just over Quinton de Kock as Jonny Bairstow calls him through for a single.

    Aadam: Will never get tired of watching Jason Roy hit bowlers all over the park.

  7. Eng 78-1published at 7 overs

    Need 100 off 78 balls

    Andile Phehlukwayo continues to take the pace off, forcing Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow to adjust and try to pick up ones and twos.

    But that's so clever from Roy! The England opener walks across his stumps and sweeps it round the corner for four. No fielder there.

    That turns a decent over into a very strong one for England - 10 from it.

  8. Not outpublished at 6.2 overs

    Eng 71-1

    As I said, YJB is very quick.

  9. Third umpirepublished at 6.2 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is very quick and wants two despite hitting it straight towards deep point.

    A very fine throw in by Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock breaks the stumps.

    But Bairstow was home. The umpires want to check anyway.

  10. Postpublished at 18:22 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2020

    Andile Phehlukwayo is on.

    Alex Adams: Not sure if it’s an unpopular opinion or not but I think Roy is pretty comfortably our best ever white-ball batsman - look at how much we missed him in the World Cup.

  12. Eng 68-1published at 6 overs

    Target 178

    England on course after the powerplay. South Africa were also 68-1 at this stage.

    Jason Roy has 39 off 16 balls.

  13. Eng 67-1published at 5.5 overs

    Jonny Bairstow clips to point, says yes and Jason Roy has to hurry.

    Dwaine Pretorius is not Jonty Rhodes and puts in a poor throw as Roy gets home.

    Roy 37, Bairstow 13

    Jason Roy whips powerfully through mid-wicket and under the diving fielder for four.

  16. 6 runs

    Eng 61-1published at 5.1 overs

    Have England ever had a better batsman hitting down the ground than Jason Roy?

    The boundaries seem entirely too short when he's got his eye in.

    Another mighty six back over Lungi Ngidi's head.

  17. Eng 55-1published at 5 overs

    Run rate 11.00

    Dale Steyn sends down another loopy slower ball that Jonny Bairstow picks earlier to clip through mid-wicket for one.

    Another decent over for England - 10 from it.

  18. Eng 53-1published at 4.2 overs

    Sublime timing and placement from YJB as he perfectly bisects the fielders to hit it through point for four more.

  19. Eng 49-1published at 4.1 overs

    Dale Steyn on for his third over.,

    And Jonny Bairstow greets him by clattering a cut shot to the fence.

    England on a massive charge.

  20. Eng 45-1published at 4 overs

    A tap down the ground, well placed and Jason Roy wants two.

    And gets two. Top running.

    And top striking - just the 22 from the over.
