    That was a good sign of intent from De Kock.

    Seems unlikely but stranger things have happened.

    If I have done the maths right, if South Africa score 180 and England are bowled out for 80 England would go out.

    England are so strong in every department. The one thing South Africa have is a very good bowling department.

    England make one change as fit-again Mark Wood comes in for Tymal Mills, who has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament through injury. South Africa are unchanged from their win against Bangladesh.

    England: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Eoin Morgan (capt), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

    South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi.

    South Africa captain Temba Bavuma: "If the toss had gone our way we would have bowled. We will have to start well with the bat. We know it can be tough at the beginning but will have to see what total we can put up.

    "At the beginning, the first six overs, we will play as normally. We want to get to a position where we can lay a foundation and be able to make those changes."

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "The results here has suggested chasing does help against Sri Lanka things did help chasing so for obvious reasons we will do the same again.

    "Trying to anticipate how much dew will come in will be quite difficult."

    Australia's win against West Indies has moved them up above South Africa and into second in Group 2, with England still top thanks to a comfortably superior net run-rate.

    It means South Africa need to win by around 60 runs to have a chance of overhauling Australia again and reaching the last four.

  16. England win toss and will bowlpublished at 13:50 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2021

    An early boost for England as Eoin Morgan wins the toss and chooses to have a bowl first.

    No real surprise as chasing teams have won the majority of matches at this tournament so far.

  17. Good afternoonpublished at 13:46 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2021

    Four games, four wins. It has all been rather comfortable for England at the T20 World Cup so far, with a semi-final place tantalisingly within reach.

    Can they finish the job against South Africa?
