  1. SA 3-0published at 0.3 overs

    Hello! Sam Curran rips a delivery through Quinton de Kock's rather open defence first up.

    De Kock goes for a cheeky little flick over the top of the close fielders and gets a skewiff couple of runs.

  2. SA 1-0published at 0.1 overs

    Straight from Sam Curran, and it's clipped away with ease by Bavuma for the first run of the match.

    Temba Bavuma will face the first ball, a slip lurking just behind him...

    Right. Cricket!

    It'll be Sam Curran to get things going with the ball.

    Ross: Only slightly jealous of the few people at Paarl today. Gorgeous location, not quite so nice in Birmingham...

    South Africa captain Quinton de Kock: "We didn't do anything too bad last game. We have to give it to England, they played really well.

    "We have to be clever. It's generally a good wicket. We just have to see how things go and play accordingly."

    Rachel T: What could be better, on a dreary November day in England, than some T20 cricket from a sun drenched Paarl?

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "It's a bigger playing surface. There's also a gusty breeze we think will play st some part. It's potentially a higher scoring game.

    "Bowling first is just a preference. I think the conditions will stay pretty similar throughout."

    England are unchanged. I'm a little surprised about that, but they are giving Tom Curran the chance to make amends for his wayward performance in the first game.

    A positively balmy 28C in Paarl.

    Jealous? Me? Not in the slightest. Ugh.

    Meanwhile, in Australia, Steve Smith has been doing what Steve Smith does - scoring a shedload of runs.

    Australia posted 389-4 from their 50 overs against India, with Smith making 105 - his second successive hundred - and David Warner 83.

    India made a good go of the chase but fell 51 runs short as Australia won the three-match one-day series with a game to spare.

    England are unchanged, by the sounds of it, while there are two changes for South Africa.

    Batsman Reeza Hendricks and everyone's favourite speedster Anrich Nortje replace Pite van Biljon and Beuran Hendricks.

    I think...

    Honestly, I have no idea what's going on. Everyone looks a bit confused.

    Oh, it's so sunny and gorgeous in Paarl.

    Up goes the coin...

    In two words - Jonny Bairstow.

    His unbeaten 86 - containing nine fours and four sixes - powered England to a five-wicket win in Cape Town.

    Sam Curran also recorded his best T20 bowling figures of 3-21 as South Africa made 179-6.
