  1. SA 11-0published at 1.3 overs

    Temba Bavuma is great to watch. I've said it before but there's something about short right-handers. He lifts Tom Curran over mid-wicket with the ball dribbling into the boundary cushion.

    Anthony Petch: I totally agree with David Hutton about Buttler - he definitely needs a break.

  3. SA 5-0published at 1.1 overs

    Tom Curran is sharing the new ball. He squeezes in a dot first up.

  4. SA 5-0published at 1 over

    Need 200 from 114 balls

    Good start for Moeen and England with only five runs coming from the first over.

    The required rate is 10.52.

  5. SA 5-0published at 0.4 overs

    Moeen has Quinton de Kock in his sights now.

  6. SA 0-0published at 0.3 overs

    Moeen starts with two dots but Temba Bavuma plays a lovely shot to the third ball, lofting a drive over cover for four.

    Target 205

    The players are out in the middle. It looks like Moeen is going to open the bowling after his blistering knock.

    David Hutton: I am finding it hard to see the love for Buttler. One good innings every 5-10 innings isn’t good enough for me. He looks like he needs a break. He seems well out of form and doesn’t contribute enough regularly.

    • Four of the last five dismissals recorded by Quinton de Kock in men’s T20Is come against spin; indeed, each of his last two dismissals against England have come at the hands of Moeen Ali.

    Something has got to go badly wrong for you to fail to defend 205 in a T20.

    A reminder the record chase on this ground is 158-4.

    200 looked on when Bairstow and Roy were going strong but then a long way off when South Africa fought back shortly after the halfway mark.

    England have to be delighted with what looks a very good score in the end.

    Ben Stokes' 47 from 30 balls was ugly at times but crucial.

    England scored 79 from the last five overs, largely thanks to that brilliant 39 from 11 balls by Moeen Ali.

    He's special.

  15. Interval - Eng 204-7published at 20 overs

    Stokes is shaking his head after missing a leg-stump full toss but he still manages to scamper two leg-byes.

    That takes England to 204. It should be enough but will it be?

  16. Eng 201-7published at 19.5 overs

    Stokes gets nowhere near middling the penultimate ball but good running gets him back for two.

    A four gets him to fifty...

    Ben Stokes is now on his highest T20 score for England - surprising that a batsman as destructive as him has never hit 40 before.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 200-7published at 19.4 overs

    Ben Stokes into the second tier!

  19. Postpublished at 17:35 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2020

    Tom Curran is the new batsman but Ben Stokes managed to get back on strike while the ball was in the air.

    Three balls to go. Can England get to 200?

    Jordan c Bavuma b Ngidi 7 (Eng 194-7)

    Bavuma has caught this one! That's special. Jordan gets a fair bit of Ngidi, crunching it over extra cover but Bavuma sprints, dives to his left and takes a superb catch.
