    0.3 inside edge again, and slayed by a drag-on! Wafty, flat-footed drive from QdK and it pegs back leg stump. The returning Willey strikes with his third ball, getting England on to the front foot with the ball 0/1
    16.3 Slower one finds a top-edge off the flick, taken by Buttler! It was fullish on off, Hendricks stayed low and tried to drag it to the leg side, Buttler ran to his left and took it well with an outstretched dive. Hendricks raises hit bat as he leaves to some applause. 142/3

    6.2 bowled him, top of off! Moeen rips out the form batter for SA... Tossed up from round the wicket and drawing him forwards, the ball dips and then spins past the outside edge to dislodge the zing bails. Rossouw choked off, just as he was looking to motor. Boy, England will feel they needed that 55/2

    19.2 Swings, misses, it hits leg stump! It was into the pitch, angling in. Miller stood leg side and tried to pull it but it stayed lower than he expected. He crouched in the last minute but could not get low enough. Willey punches the air. 183/4
    19.6 Livingstone runs across to his right and takes a skier at deep cover! Willey went full and wide, Stubbs reached out and tried to swipe a cover drive with a horizontal bat, it went up and slowed down a bit while coming down. Livingstone slid and took it well. 191/5

    5.1 extra heat, and Roy is burned again! Banged in at 91mph/146kph, takes the top edge as he hauls across the line. Another tepid innings from the senior England opener, and Roy makes the slow trudge back to the dressing room with a look of puzzlement on his face. Nortje, meanwhile, is popping blood vessels with his celebration 33/2
    3.5 sliced to short third, Buttler scuttled! Maharaj makes the breakthrough for SA, and England are already under the pump. Again he stepped away and looked to carve over the off side, but only succeeded in skewing a thick outside edge to Ngidi, who took it low stooping forwards 28/1
    8.3 pitched up, Malan swings for the pickets... picks out deep square leg! Good running, sliding catch from Nortje, and the man who England might have thought they would be targeting has struck third ball. Malan out for an anaemic 7 off 11, and SA well on top here 52/3
    16.4 Slog-sweep, top-edge, catch taken! South Africa complete a 90-run drubbing as Bairstow fails to connect with the full ball. It went up and was taken at deep-midwicket. 101/10
    9.6 spooned into the covers... and Stubbs holds a blinder one-handed! Looked like Moeen might get away with it, as he had to make up a lot of ground running across to his left. But Stubbs was quick on his feet and then threw himself full length to snag that catch. Superb stuff, and England sink further 59/4
    11.5 Tossed up, slapped, and he finds long-off! Tossed up wide on a full length, Livingstone reaches out on a knee, and tries to slash it over extra but the 50 mph ball does him for the lack of pace. Goes off the edge, so it's flat and slow, Maharaj leaps forward to take a low catch. Shamsi does a bit of boxing in celebration. 65/5
    13.3 Slapped, finds long-off! This was slow and shortish too, Curran freed his arms and swung through, it got decent distance but only far enough for Markram at long-off to take it with fingers pointing up. 79/6
    13.4 Two in two, Willey swipes and gets beaten. It hits top of middle! This was full, slow as has been the staple. It pitched on off, came in and beat the attempted slog sweep. Shamsi's on the run and punches the air as he celebrates vociferously. 79/7
    15.4 Jordan's beaten on the flick, it hits him on the pad. Shamsi appeals enthusiastically. Given out, England review. It was on a length, Jordan went back and tried to flick it across the line, it hit him in front of leg and is just clipping leg. Jordan walks back. 97/8
    15.6 Shamsi has five as Rashid finds long-on! He's pumped, in inversely proportional levels to the quiet crowd He landed it slow on a length, Rashid made room and pulled it, it went off the bottom to Markram who ran in and took it at chest-height. 97/9
