England bowler
Five wides from Hendricks followed by a six from Morgan. Is this the turning point that sends the game England's way?

Morgan follows up with six over mid-wicket!
16 off it so far.
Is this the one where England take charge?

A Harmison!
Beuran Hendricks has bowled one of the widest wides you've ever seen, all the way to the fine leg fence. A bonus five runs for England.

Tymal Mills
England bowlerIt's very rarely straighforward. South Africa started well with the new ball, but since then England have come back really well. With Bairstow and Morgan at the crease, there is plenty of experience and plenty of power.

Target 180
Now he's playing one-handed! Jonny Bairstow smears a Hendricks full toss to the extra cover fence with the bottom hand off the bat.

BBC cricket correspondentIt's nip and tuck. I'd rather be in South Africa's position but Jonny Bairstow remains. he likes to prove a point and he's England's hope.

Target 180
Just when it looked like England were slipping behind thanks to Rabada's trickery, Bairstow finds a boundary from the final ball. Still, only six off. A required rate of 13 can't be allowed to spiral any more.

"Lads, bat, please!"
I thought for a minute that Jonny Bairstow was telling Kagiso Rabada he was distracted by a flying bat.
Actually, and much more plausibly, he just needs a new bat.

Target 180
England were flying, but the last two overs have gone for only 13 runs and included the crucial wicket of Ben Stokes. Brakes applied.
Ridiculously, England have Sam Curran in at seven. He was opening in the IPL. Deeper than the ocean.

Eoin Morgan is a decent number six, isn't he?

Stokes c Linde b Shamsi 37 (Eng 119-4)
Another twist.
Ben Stokes has drowned in honey. It's a horrible delivery from Tabraiz Shamsi, but Stokes has picked out George Linde at long-on.
Big wicket at a key moment.
50 for Jonny Bairstowpublished at 14 overs
Eng 119-3
From 30 balls, reached with a club to long-on. Moved down the order, still delivering. Jonny Bairstow usually at his best with a point to prove.

It's an empty ground, but we somehow still seem to having problems with people moving behind the bowler's arm.

Cassini: BairStokes. You’re welcome.

No wonder he's getting belted, then. This time Stokes whips it round the corner over the backward square leg boundary.
England need 70 from 42. If these two keep going, they will be favourites.

England bowlerHeinrich Klaasen kept wicket for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL last year, so he's certainly a jack of all trades.

Massive. Just massive. Stokes on one knee, over long-on.

England bowlerNone of these boundaries are edges or flukes, so I'm backing England. I'd never write them off.

Heinrich Klaasen to bowl some off-breaks. This could go either way...
