| 1.5 : 1.5: Moeen Ali to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Tossed up straighter on the stumps, Quinton de Kock comes down the pitch, gets the ball on the full and drills it to the right of mid on for the first boundary of the game. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Moeen Ali to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Excellent use of the feet again from Quinton de Kock and South Africa have lift off! Tossed up on the stumps, de Kock shimmies down the pitch and hits through the line of the ball, smoking it over long off for a biggie. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Jofra Archer to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Up and away! That signature pick-up shot from Quinton de Kock and his impressive showing against Jofra Archer continues. Dug in a bit short at 141 clicks but the line is around the hips, de Kock gets inside the line and whips it over the leaping man at deep fine leg for a biggie. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jofra Archer to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Make that two in two for Quinton de Kock! |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Jofra Archer to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Wow, Quinton de Kock is just toying with Jofra Archer and the field now. Banged in well short and angling it across the off stump, de Kock waits well and just ramps the ball up and over backward point for another boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Jofra Archer to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Reeza Hendricks doesn't want to be left out of the action. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Reece Topley to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! That is finesse from Quinton de Kock and he is showing the full range of shots here. Short of a length and a bit wider of the off stump, de Kock lets the ball come on and just angles it well wide of deep third for another boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Sam Curran to Quinton de Kock, SIX! SHOT! |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Moeen Ali to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Shot of authority that from QDK! |

| 11.5: Jofra Archer to Quinton de Kock, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A stunning take from Jos Buttler behind the stumps and the decision to bring Jofra Archer back into the attack has proved to be a masterstroke. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Sam Curran to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! Smacked away by Heinrich Klaasen and that will make him feel a lot better. Sam Curran comes back in and starts from around the stumps but serves it right in the slot around off. Klaasen holds his shape and pummels it to the right of Harry Brook at long off for a boundary. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Mark Wood to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, wow! What a sensational bit of fielding from Jos Buttler and he is ecstatic and rightly so too. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Mark Wood to David Miller, FOUR! Streaky but David Miller will take it. Pitched up fuller and quicker around off stump, Miller gets squared up a bit and gets a thick outside edge that beats short third and rolls away into the fence. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Adil Rashid to David Miller, FOUR! That is a shot of confidence! |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Adil Rashid to Aiden Markram, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Aiden Markram cannot believe it and is devastated but he has to walk back cheaply here. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Mark Wood to David Miller, FOUR! Cracking shot! Steams in from over the wicket, and cannons it on a length, at middle, David Miller stands tall and flat-bats it through mid-wicket and mid on for a boundary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Mark Wood to David Miller, FOUR! Much needed for the Proteas! Bangs it short and on the leg stump line, David Miller gets on the up on his toes and pulls it nicely along the ground through deep backward square leg for the second boundary of the over. |

| 17.3 : 17.3: Jofra Archer to David Miller, SIX! Go fetch that says Miller! |
| 18.3: Sam Curran to David Miller, SIX! This time he gets the timing correct! Misses the yorker by a yard or so, on off, and serves a friendly half-volley, David Miller makes room by shuffling to the leg side and to open the off side for him. He lifts it up and over covers for a huge six. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Jofra Archer to David Miller, OUT! TAKEN! Magnificent catch from Harry Brook! |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Jofra Archer to Marco Jansen, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! This time Sam Curran takes an audacious catch! Jofra Archer gets his third. |

| 1.3: Kagiso Rabada to Phil Salt, FOUR! Punished! Lands it outside off, on a fuller length, Phil Salt takes a step ahead and thumps it downtown for a boundary. The mid off fielder chases the ball to the deep but it has got enough wheels on it to breach the fence. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Kagiso Rabada to Phil Salt, OUT! TAKEN! Screamer of a catch from Reeza Hendricks. He didn't have a good outing with the bat, but takes an absolute blinder at covers. Phil Salt departs early this time and the Proteas are up in delight. |
| 2.5: Marco Jansen to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Ugly but quite effective. A low full toss on the stumps, Jonny Bairstow takes his front leg out and goes for an expansive shot as he swings it across the line, but gets a thickish inside edge and the ball races through the left of short fine for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Keshav Maharaj to Jos Buttler, FOUR! There comes the switch-hit! Flighted off-break around off, Jos Buttler reads it early and reverse sweeps it over backward point for a boundary. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Keshav Maharaj to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! Jonny Bairstow won't get another life and Keshav Maharaj gets the breakthrough for South Africa. Maharaj changes the length and shortens it, bowling it slower and around off. The ball grips a bit and turns away, Jonny Bairstow rocks back and tries to cut hard but ends up slicing it in front of point. Anrich Nortje there scampers across his his right and dives in to take a fine catch with both hands. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Keshav Maharaj to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was telling and Keshav Maharaj has got rid of the dangerman Jos Buttler. |

| 12.3 : 12.3: Keshav Maharaj to Harry Brook, FOUR! Swept away with ease! Drifts it onto the pads, and lands it full in length, the ball further tails in with the wind, Harry Brook sits down and sweeps it very well through deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Marco Jansen to Harry Brook, FOUR! Gets it through this time. Much-needed one for England. |

| 14.4 : 14.4: Kagiso Rabada to Harry Brook, FOUR! Flashed away! |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Kagiso Rabada to Harry Brook, FOUR! This is good from Brook! KG Rabada delivers a slower off-cutter outside off, on a fuller length, Harry Brook shuffles across and outside off, and scoops it over short fine for a boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Anrich Nortje to Harry Brook, FOUR! A perfect start to the over for Harry Brook and England. Anrich Nortje runs in and bangs it in short around off at over 144 clicks, Brook gives him the charge and swats the ball up and over mid off for a boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Anrich Nortje to Harry Brook, FOUR! Harry Brook is now toying with the field and what a momentum shift this has been. Just back of a length and angling back in from middle, Brrok makes room and smashes the ball wide of covers and picks up yet another boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Flat and hard! Ottneil Baartman misses the wide yorker and ends up serving a full toss, Liam Livingstone hangs deep in the crease and reaches out before slapping it flat to the left of sweeper cover where Tristan Stubbs dives across but the ball evades him and goes on the bounce and into the ropes. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! That is a gift for Liam Livingstone. A juicy full toss wide of the off stump, Liam hangs back again and forces the lofted shot with raw power over the cover region and picks up another boundary. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Ottneil Baartman to Liam Livingstone, Six! |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Ottneil Baartman to Harry Brook, FOUR! A fifth full toss to end the over and Ottneil Baartman has crumbled under pressure here. On middle, not that high but enough for Harry Brook to get under it and heave it over mid on for another boundary. 21 off that over and now, England need 25 runs off 18 balls. |
