Oh, my.
Kagiso Rabada is into the attack and Jos Buttler stands tall and punches away a gorgeous back-foot drive. It pierced the cover fielders perfectly.

Target 190
Two singles end the over.
England need to make at least 87 to guarantee their semi-final spot, remember.

Don't bowl there, Keshav Maharaj.
He drops short and looks to follow Jason Roy outside leg stump but the England opener crunches away a pull shot.
The ball before kept a tad low and Roy edged onto his pads.

Jason Roy, that is lovely.
One, two steps down the pitch and a flick into the long-on boundary.
England are looking to be busy now.

Target 190
Four more!
Anrich Nortje goes full again and even though Jos Buttler toe-ends it he connects well enough to send it flying past mid-off and away to the fence.

Too high. It is going an inch or so over the top of the stumps.
South Africa lose one of their two reviews.

Maybe too high?
That's what Temba Bavuma was signalling before deciding to go with the review.

Joel Wilson shakes his head.

The pace of Anrich Nortje from the other end.
This guy has serious heat.
