    Should be a cracking chase.

    Jason Roy and Jos Buttler opening.

    Dale Steyn back.

    Yes please.

    Dale Steyn is doing some stretches with a medicine ball to warm up.

    He'll be fired up to perform well on his return to international cricket.

    Saying that, I imagine Dale Steyn is fired up to eat cereal.

    Jason Roy has a chance to make amends when he opens the batting with Jos Buttler.

    England's batting is ridiculous and Tom Banton isn't even in the T20 squad.

    South Africa could only muster 80-7 off the last 11 overs.

    England were awful to start, apart from their spinners, but Ben Stokes, Mark Wood and Chris Jordan found their rhythm to limit the hosts.

    Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid were superb throughout once again.

    You sense Eoin Morgan will be livid with the standard of the fielding, aside from two fine catches by Jonny Bairstow and Jordan. Joe Denly and Jason Roy dropped two chances they should have taken.

    200 looked on for South Africa at one point, helped by some sloppiness from England, but the visitors pulled it back, first through their spinners, and then some excellent death bowling from Wood and Jordan. South Africa are still in this game, but they’ll be wary of England’s powerful batting line-up.

    WICKETpublished at 20 overs

    Phehlukwayo run out (Jordan) 18 (SA 177-8)

    Andile Phehlukwayo jams the last ball straight back to Chris Jordan on the bounce.

    Never a run on but Dale Steyn has set off anyway and carries on, scooting past Phehlukwayo before Jordan knocks over the bails to stay not out.

    We see you, Dale.

    A terrific ending by England - taking four wickets for eight runs off the last two overs.

  8. SA 177-7published at 19.5 overs

    Andile Phehlukwayo jams the ball into the ground and straight back to Chris Jordan. Dot ball.

    Superb from Jordan.

  9. SA 177-7published at 19.4 overs

    Dale Steyn hammers a yorker out to the sweeper for a single.

  10. SA 176-7published at Hat-trick ball

    19.3 overs

    And Dale Steyn tickles his first ball back in international cricket round the corner for four.

    Chris Jordan missed his line.

    B Hendricks b Jordan 0 (SA 172-7)

    Two in a row!

    Chris Jordan fires down an 88mph yorker that is far, far too good for Beuran Hendricks.

    He plays all around it and also loses his off stump.

    Jordan is on a hat-trick. Dale Steyn on strike.

    Pretorius b Jordan 1 (SA 172-6)

    Emphatic.

    Full and straight from Chris Jordan, a hint of the ball tailing in.

    Dwaine Pretorius misses on the slog and loses his off stump.

    Chris Jordan to bowl the final over.

    Dwaine Pretorius on strike.

  14. SA 172-5published at 19 overs

    Run rate 9.05

    New man Dwaine Pretorius guides his first ball to backward point for one.

    Sublime stuff from Mark Wood - just three from the over and a wicket.

    South Africa were 97-1 off nine overs but England have come back very strongly.

  15. SA 171-5published at 18.5 overs

    Phehlukwayo just jams a cut shot into the ground for a single.

    Smuts c Stokes b Wood 20 (SA 170-5)

    JJ Smuts chips a low full toss off a leading edge to Ben Stokes running in from mid-off.

    Mark Wood and England are dragging this back well after a ropey start.

  18. SA 170-4published at 18.3 overs

    Full on the stumps and Phehlukwayo can only pick out the sweeper for a single.

    This is now the highest T20 international score at Buffalo Park (it's only the third T20 international played here, though).

  19. SA 169-4published at 18.2 overs

    Mark Wood starts with two slower balls and two dot balls. Fine work.

    Mark Wood to bowl the 19th over.
