  1. 6 runs

    SA 143-3published at 14.4 overs

    Rassie van der Dussen is not done yet. He hoists Stokes into the night sky and the ball sends people scattering on the grass banks.

  2. SA 137-3published at 14.3 overs

    Don't go too early, Mike.

    South Africa run a leg bye as Smuts misses again. England are fine with that.

    Mike Bell: South Africa looking increasingly like a one trick pony in limited overs cricket. Get De Kock early enough, even for a fifty, and you win the game.

    Catch that...

    Rashid can't get there.

    Stokes has his hands on his head.

  5. SA 135-3published at 14.1 overs

    Ben Stokes takes a big swipe at the ground with his boot. Rassie van der Dussen clubs him for a much-needed boundary for the hosts.

  6. SA 131-3published at 14 overs

    Need 74 from 36 balls

    There are England fans on their feet applauding Chris Jordan. South Africa have only scored 14 runs in the past three overs.

    The required rate has now shot up to 12.33.

  7. SA 130-3published at 13.5 overs

    Van der Dussen aims for the beach but fails to connect. This has been excellent from England.

  8. SA 130-3published at 13.4 overs

    There has been a lot of swinging and not many results for JJ Smuts so far. Four singles so far from Jordan's over.

    There's a group in front of us who have sparked into song - a song we've heard a lot around this tour. It's called Shosholoza - often referred to as South Africa's second national anthem. It's a mix of Zulu and Ndebele, in a call-and-response style, that's really popular at football matches, too. If you remember the opening game of the 2010 World Cup, the South African team all came out the tunnel together dancing and singing this song. And I've had it stuck in my head for the last two weeks.

  10. SA 129-3published at 13.3 overs

    It's 18 balls since South Africa scored a boundary.

  11. SA 128-3published at 13.2 overs

    South Africa are running for everything. They steal a single after an inside edge to short fine leg.

    Chris Jordan has three overs left. He's going to bowl one of those now.

  13. SA 126-3published at 13 overs

    Van der Dussen 8, Smuts 1

    Stokes does finish it off, conceding just a single from the final ball. Three runs are all South Africa managed from that over.

    south Africa need 79 from 42 balls. It's a tougher ask now.

  14. SA 125-3published at 12.5 overs

    SA coach Mark Bouncher is on the walkie-talkie in the dressing room. Is he sending a message down to the dug-out?

    Stokes just needs to finish off a fine over.

    JJ Smuts is the new batsman. England have to be favourites now with Miller gone.

    WICKETpublished at 12.3 overs

    Miller c Jordan b Stokes 21 (SA 123-3)

    Ben Stokes. Yet again.

    A big, big wicket. David Miller can go berserk. The left-hander chips it into the safe hands of Chris Jordan at long-on.

    There's no big celebration from England. Work still to do.

    Miller misses the ball again and Buttler takes it calmly behind the stumps.

  18. SA 123-2published at 12.1 overs

    Stokes starts with a dot ball.

  19. Postpublished at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2020

    Ben Stokes is coming on for a ball. This is a big over. Can Stokes back-up the good work from his Durham team-mate?

  20. SA 123-2published at 12 overs

    Target 205

    Six runs from the over. England will be happy with that.

    South Africa need 82 from 48 balls.
