Ball by Ball Live Score Commentary

End of Over No.43 England 252/8 Last Over (wicket maiden)
6.15pm: Right, there we go, then. There were fears we wouldn’t get much of a game today – in the end, we got more than we bargained for. Firdose’s report should be your next port of call, and then stick around for further reaction. Thanks from myself, Matt and Chandon, we’ll be back for more with the start of the T20I series on Wednesday. Ta ra! Oh, and Bangladesh have just won the U19 World Cup, too. #SCENES!! 6pm: Presentations time, starting with Man of the Match, Adil Rashid: “I felt good today, been a while since I played, getting out there I was eager to play and it came out well. [Googly?] Some days it’s easy to pick, today it was more difficult. Some days you bowl your variations better than others. Nice to come on a bit of spicy wicket with a bit of bounce, and me and Mo bowled well in tandem.” South Africa captain Quinton de Kock, who is also named Player of the Series: “We thought it was getting tight, we had a bit of a sniff, but it’s still a loss at the end of the day. Cool to make it tough for the English guys. It takes some getting used to, different in quite a lot of ways, but the guys help me on and off the field, I’m just there to make the final decisions. [Positives signs?] Energy has stood out, we’ve got a young team but they had a lot of energy on the field and I enjoyed that.” England captain Eoin Morgan: [Development aside, nice to win?] “Yeah, of course, I thought we bowled well today. Adil and Mo coming in and showing their value, Adil with the control and variation he has was outstanding. Thought the chase was well within our grasp, disappointing to limp over the line. Thought we should have done it four or five down with the partnerships we had. [Positives?] Tom Banton showed promise, Joe Denly’s two knocks have been really, really good, Saqib [Mahmood] came in today and bowled beautifully up front, likewise Parky [Matt Parkinson] in the first game. So lots there. Prob our best performance in the field and with the ball, nice to come back and play like that. On a wicket that exposes our weaknesses [with the bat], we need to get better at that.” 5.50pm: England grab a share of the series, even as it threatened to squirm out of their grasp. It seemed like they were cruising with Joe Denly and Tom Banton at the crease, needing 25 with six wickets standing – only for the chase to nearly turn pear-shaped. Luckily, the famously doughty Moeen Ali, back in the side after several months of watching from the outside, was there to drag them to their target. South Africa scrapped hard, and they’ll take plenty from these two-and-a-bit games, but it ends honours even, ahead of three T20Is next week. “I think there should be a super over to decide who wins the series,” parps Vyshakh. Now now “Welcome back Moeen!” cheers James. “Very tidy 10 overs and sees England home.” Meanwhile, a few clicks down the highway in Potchefstroom, Bangladesh are on the verge of a sensational, maiden U19 World Cup win – ahead against India on DLS with the rain now coming down.
43.2	1	Sipamla to Ali swiped over the leg side, lands safely in the gap – meaning England win by two wickets after a rather ticklish finish here in Joburg! 1 run


43.1	4	Sipamla to Ali pitched up, Moeen drills it through the covers! In the air briefly as short extra cover threw himself, but couldn’t get there. Scores level FOUR

“Any scope for a Super Over today?” I don’t think so, Peter Morley. But we may be about to find out…
42.6	0	Ngidi to Jordan on the stumps and securely blocked once again no run


42.5	0	Ngidi to Jordan Ngidi steams in, hits a length, the ball angling back at Jordan… who chops down in defence no run
There’ll be some pink faces if England don’t manage to get over the line here

42.4	0	Ngidi to Jordan climbing through outside off, 139kph/87mph and Jordan lets it zip through no run


42.3	0	Ngidi to Jordan short of a length and defended no run
Here’s Chris Jordan, who knows which end of the bat to hold. England have lost 4 for 20 and the crowd getting into this again…

42.2	W	Ngidi to Rashid gottim, edged behind! Ngidi strikes again, South Africa can dream… Rashid was hopping on the back foot, trying to work it off his body but only succeeding in grazing the bat through to de Kock! They can’t, can they?! OUT AU Rashid c †de Kock b Ngidi 2 (16m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00


42.1	0	Ngidi to Rashid pitched up, driven uppishly towards mid-off, doesn’t carry no run
Ngidi into his ninth. Anyone feel like finishing this?
End of Over No.42 England 252/7 Last Over (1 run)

41.6	0	Sipamla to Ali short in the channel and Moeen flirts with a late cut, doesn’t connect – another over passes by no run
Here’s WrongTeam: “Does feel kinda nice having Mo’n’Rash back. Will feel even nicer after another few runs.” Still edging their way there

41.5	0	Sipamla to Ali round the wicket, defended into the covers no run


41.4	1	Sipamla to Rashid dug in and Rashid swings a pull through backward square leg 1 run


41.3	0	Sipamla to Rashid in the channel, played off the back foot towards backward point no run


41.2	0	Sipamla to Rashid short of a length and Rashid rides the bounce, turns to leg and calls… but Moeen quickly sends him back no run


41.1	0	Sipamla to Rashid defended solidly on the front foot no run
Lutho Sipamla back. Been decent, in what is basically his second ODI
End of Over No.41 England 251/7 Last Over (7 runs)
“Funny thing is that somebody mentioned earlier that none of the South Africans were caught. Now all English batsman are all caught. Is that a new Record?” Don’t think statsguru categorises that one, Sam. But top quirkage, nonetheless
40.6	4	Ngidi to Ali short ball, sits up for the pull and this time Moeen collars four through mid-on! England almost home now FOUR


40.5	0	Ngidi to Ali cutter from Ngidi, jabbed watchfully towards backward point no run


40.4	2	Ngidi to Ali short and flubbed leg side on the pull, not got hold of it but the ball but it loops to safety somewhere between mid-on and deep midwicket 2 runs


40.3	0	Ngidi to Ali slower ball, on the stumps and defended calmly by Moeen no run


40.3	1	Ngidi to Ali fired down full and wide of the stumps, maybe just on the tramline… but called by the umpire, much to Ngidi’s chagrin 1 wide


40.2	0	Ngidi to Ali comes across and taps the ball down no run

Still bubbling under in Potch, meanwhile, with the possibility of rain arriving and Bangladesh ahead by a nose on DLS
40.1	0	Ngidi to Ali round the wicket, fullish on off stump, Moeen defends no run
Final Powerplay, South Africa can have an extra man outside the circle. Not sure that will help them much, though. Ngidi to continue, he has a slip in
End of Over No.40 England 244/7 Last Over (3 runs)
Hendricks finishes with 3 for 59 from his 10, not too shabby at all from the left-armer
39.6	1	BE Hendricks to Ali length ball, slightly wide and Moeen opens the face to run it to third man for another single 1 run


39.5	1	BE Hendricks to Rashid touch short and this time Rash has a dabble, glides one behind point 1 run


39.4	0	BE Hendricks to Rashid length ball in the channel, Rashid comes across and leaves no run


39.3	0	BE Hendricks to Rashid chin music, right at the helmet grille, Rashid rocks back and misses with an attempted uppercut no run
“Please England! Please England!” squeals Aaron. “Please do it. Clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.” If any team can…

39.2	0	BE Hendricks to Rashid round the wicket, decent length on off, Rashid defends no run

Adil Rashid is in at No. 9
39.1	1	BE Hendricks to Ali pitched up outside off, steered down to third man 1 run

End of Over No.39 England 241/7 Last Over (wicket maiden)
Ngidi keeps the flame burning, still 16 needed for England to level the series
38.6	W	Ngidi to Curran Curran fazed, spoons his next ball straight up, taken by Bavuma in the covers! Seemed like the previous delivery was playing on his mind, flapped at a drive and England lose their seventh wicket OUT TK Curran c Bavuma b Ngidi 5 (9m 9b 1×4 0x6) SR: 55.55


38.5	0	Ngidi to Curran oof, bounce from a length, cops a blow on the body! Curran trying to get forward, clipped the bottom glove and then deflected into the ribs no run


38.4	0	Ngidi to Curran pitched up, Curran chips it back to the right of Ngidi, who sticks out a hopeful arm but wasn’t anywhere near it no run

With ten nearly equally matched groups, the importance of every game can’t be understated in this tournament.
