    Rob Stow: May not have seen it home but that’s a perfectly paced innings by Malan, a really quality knock.

  4. Eng 138-5published at 18.2 overs

    Malan c Hendricks b Ngidi 55 (Eng 134-5)

    Wonder catch!

    One of those on the boundary where they take it, throw it up, pop over the boundary and back, then take it again. It's Reeza Hendricks this time at long-off, ending the excellent knock of Dawid Malan.

    There are so many wonderful innovations in the game, but those kind of boundary catches are easily my favourite.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Dawid Malanpublished at 17.4 overs

    Eng 134-4

    That's why he's rated as the world's best. 50 for Dawid Malan, brought up with a six down the ground.

  11. Eng 124-4published at 17.3 overs

    Target 147

    Now Malan is in on the act. First a heave to mid-wicket, then a thick edge to third man. Back-to-back boundaries. 10 off the first three balls.

    19 off 15 required. Almost under control.

    All these people writing England off. When will you ever learn?

    Target 147

    Now a ramp over the keeper for four more!

    In two deliveries, it becomes a good over for England.

    Just over the gloves of De Kock...

  14. Eng 114-4published at 16.5 overs

    Target 147

    What a time for Morgan to nail one to the extra cover fence. See what I mean about the momentum changing every couple of balls?

  15. Eng 108-4published at 16.3 overs

    Target 147

    It feels like the momentum changes every couple of deliveries. Rabada up and down the gears. Only one from three balls.

    I'm not going to join the club and be pessimistic about England. The world's best is at the crease and England thrive in these situations. Just be patient.

    Target 147

    South Africa were 107-4 at this point. England have taken 22 from the past two overs. This is going to be close. Malan changes his gloves. No time for sweaty palms.

    Can the cricket dating service be called Tindulkar? A good place to meet quick singles.

    Target 147

    South Africa aren't learning here. Granted, there's no more spin left in the shed, but the pacemen aren't going to their change-ups. Malan nails the returning Nortje down the ground, then pulls. Two boundaries in as many balls.

    Shergar: I agree with Lord Lucan. Joke names are juvenile and you shouldn't hide behind anonymity.
