  1. Eng 2-0published at 1 over

    Target 190

    Heart in mouth moment for Jason Roy and England as he almost blobs a defence prod straight back to Keshav Maharaj.

    Just a single and leg bye from the first over.

    This is the first time England have been properly challenged in this tournament. Let's see how good they are.

    You don't want to be three or four down in that powerplay.

  3. Postpublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2021

    We're ready.

    It'll be the left-arm spin of Keshav Maharaj to start.

  4. Postpublished at 15:57 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2021

    There was plenty of power and class in the partnership from Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram.

    South Africa need to bowl England out for 131 or less to go through rather than Australia.

    England need to make at least 87 to ensure they go through...

    Steve Couzens: Can you explain the run rate permutations that would mean the Aussies get knocked out??

    Thanks Tom.

    That was some partnership from Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram.

    Who do you fancy from here? Thumbs up for England. Thumbs down for South Africa.

  8. Postpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 6 November 2021

    Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen put on 103 to put South Africa in a commanding position.

    Can they back that up with the ball? Here is Callum Matthews to take you through their reply.

    Last night I dreamt England were knocked out of this World Cup by losing a penalty shoot out to Australia. But then I woke up and realised that this England team are too good for that.

    What a game we've got here.

    It was a really brilliant 94 from Rassie van der Dussen.

    Aiden Markram, who made 52 not out off 25 balls: "A lot of credit goes to Rassie and Quinny. Rassie's knock is something quite special on a wicket like that.

    "We've got something to bowl at - at least we've got a target on the board."

    That was a great partnership and they've posted a score for South Africa.

    Eoin Morgan was clenching his teeth as he walked off. He didn't look a happy man.

    I suspect it might be a little bit quiet in the Australia team room at the moment.

  15. SA 189-2published at 20 overs

    Rassie van der Dussen knocks a single off the last ball to finish unbeaten on 94. An absolutely magnificent innings.

    South Africa needed to post a big score and they have done just that.

  16. SA 188-2published at 19.5 overs

    It's another booming six from Rassie van der Dussen - Jason Roy goes for a desperate dive but he only succeeds in crashing over the boundary and into the advertising boards.

    He is up and about again but that looked painful.

  17. SA 182-2published at 19.4 overs

    Aiden Markram hits this one straight down the ground and runs a single.

  18. 6 runs

    SA 181-2published at 19.3 overs

    In the slot and hammered away over long-on for six!

    Half-century up for Aiden Markram. Great innings.

  19. SA 175-2published at 19.2 overs

    Rassie van der Dussen mis-times a swipe into the onside and Dawid Malan sweeps up on the boundary. Another single.

    Laugh, and grow fat: To be fair this is exactly what we needed. We have to assume that whoever we play in the semis will get 170+.
