    My heart is going so I've no idea how Tom Curran will be feeling. The music is thudding around the ground.

    Super over anyone?

  2. SA 190-5published at 19 overs

    Need 15 from six balls

    Single from the final ball.

    Pretorius will be on strike at the start of the final over.

  3. SA 189-5published at 18.5 overs

    Full toss edged to third man for four!! South Africa don't care. They needed that.

    16 from seven balls needed.

  4. SA 185-5published at 18.4 overs

    Jordan - with his chain dangling around his neck - finds his mark yet again. He's a machine. "Twwwwwwoooooo" booms the crowd. The batsmen respond.

    20 from eight needed.

    Pretorius on strike.

    Jordan nails the yorker again but it's good running. South Africa edge two closer.

    22 from nine balls to win.

  7. SA 180-5published at 18.2 overs

    Need 24 from 10 balls

    A big stroke of luck for Rassie van der Dussen. He skies a full toss but it lands in a big open space on the leg side.

    Only one run.

    Jordan puts up a hand in his follow-through but it doesn't stick. He might have stopped four.

    This will be a massive over and Chris Jordan will bowl it. Thankfully for England Pretorius is on strike.

    26 from 12 to win.

    Van der Dussen 42, Pretorius 3

    Van der Dussen nails another but this time it's straight to the fielder. The ground is bouncing.

    South Africa have now hit more sixes (14) than England (13).

    Smashed through the covers! It wasn't far from extra cover but the England fielder still can't get there. 19 from the over with a ball to go.

    This game is crazy.

    Target 205

    An eruption of noise at Kingsmead! Wood misses out this time, bowling a full toss, and Van der Dussen pumps it down the ground.

    Not done yet. 37 from 15 needed.

  19. SA 162-5published at 17.2 overs

    Wood nails his length again and almost knocks Pretorius off his feet. Still no boundary for South Africa.

    Dan: It's amazing how lethal Jordan can be in T20s yet in ODIs it's like his radar gets interference and he just bowls cannon fodder.
