1.6 to JJ Roy, bends away, attempting the ramp, but the ball is too close to him, and Mosehle gathers the catch, a thin deflection off the gloves!. 13/1
4044211.0053210
12.3 to AD Hales, excellent snaffle from Miller at midwicket! A scything pull from Hales, timed sweetly, but Miller tumbles low to his left to make a vital breakthrough. 118/2
18.6 to LE Plunkett, smashed out to deep midwicket, and taken! Another slower ball, out of the back of the hand. Now then, did the batsmen cross? They really shouldn't have done, with it being the end of the over .... 179/6
403248.00113200
17.4 to SW Billings, width, slapped, but straight to cover, off the toe of the bat. 166/4
17.5 to LS Livingstone, misses the full toss, and Paterson is on a hat-trick! Livingstone tries an improvisation first-ball, turning his stance inside-out, but he's on his way for a golden duck!. 166/5
19.3 to JC Buttler, pounded high in the air, backward point calls, and pockets the catch! South Africa have really closed ranks in these closing overs. 180/7
19.4 to DJ Willey, that is tremendous bowling! Yorker, straight as they come. Willey clears his legs and hears the death rattle. He's on a hat-trick again!. 180/8
403819.5095100
13.3 to DJ Malan, high and mighty, but not mighty enough! Malan gets under the ball too much, and long-on trots round to end a tremendous debut innings!. 127/3

1.6 to RR Hendricks, got him, gift-wrapped to mid-off! Hendricks goes for a laboured duck, chipping straight to the fielder... and Tom Curran is off on his dancing, jinking victory run once again. I have a feeling England fans are going to see that a fair bit as time goes by. 11/1
18.6 to M Mosehle, another full toss, flapped into the leg side... and taken by deep midwicket running in! They want to check for the no-ball on height but it seems fine, dipping towards the batsman's waistband as he heaved unsuccessfully for another safe catch in the deep. 145/7
403137.7593011
4.2 to CH Morris, short ball, Morris pulls... and sends it down the throat of deep square leg! Well taken by Hales, leaping to grab it above his head a yard or so in from the boundary. A minor Morris contribution, the promotion to No. 3 fails to come off and England have their second wicket. 22/2
11.3 to DA Miller, short and wide, slashed... and edged to the keeper! Miller won't be saving SA here, Jordan is the one off a celebratory dash, he angled the bouncer across the lefty, who could perhaps have gone over gully with an uppercut but instead nicked an aggressive swipe. 86/5
13.4 to F Behardien, banged in short on off stump and Behardien hooks unconvincingly, sending a top edge limping to deep backward square! Another SA batsman perishes in the deep... They should have brought their armbands. 91/6
402215.50101100
9.1 to JT Smuts, short ball, Smuts flails across the line, big top edge... taken! Malan circles around under it from fine leg and shows safe hands, ending a laboured stay from the SA opener. Plunkett gets reward for a probing spell. 59/3
403819.5083200
10.6 to AB de Villiers, floats the ball up, tempting him again... and taken on the rope! Crane goes bananas in celebration, running around like he's just scored the winner in the last minute of the FA Cup final... But what a huge wicket that is, his first in international cricket, too! De Villiers seemed to hit it pretty well but Hales was again well-positioned on the rope at deep square leg and took a smart catch as Crane stood agog in anticipation. 82/4
