Yorker length delivery aimed at the base of middle and leg, Hales looks to squeeze it out, just about manages to get some part of the inside edge on that and it rolls away fine past the keeper.

Gives this one more air and bowls it fuller outside off, Broad wanted to lift it inside-out over extra cover, miscues it, de Villiers at extra cover didn't move an inch and swallows it. Broad c de Villiers b Tahir 13(22) [6s-1]
43.1 -

Rossouw from deep square leg runs to his right and takes a well-judged catch in front of the rope. A number of South African players walked up to Hales to congratulate him on his knock. Hales c Rossouw b Rabada 112(128) [4s-14]
36.5 -
Wiese to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Rabada!! The Englishmen are gifting their wickets away. Nothing but a full delivery slightly wide outside off, Rashid's eyes lit up seeing the length and the room he had to free his arms, he looks to go over mid-off with a lofted drive but couldn't time it well at all. Holes out to Rabada, who takes a step back and reverse cups it. Adil Rashid c Rabada b Wiese 9(8) [4s-2]
34.5 -

33.5 -
Kyle Abbott to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Behardien!! Sixth one goes down. Pitched up right in the slot outside off, Ali goes for the drive, doesn't bother to keep it down and Behardien at short cover times his jump to perfection. He could have caught that with both hands, but ended up going for it one-handed, caught it brilliantly with his left hand above his head. Abbott is ecstatic and so is Behardien. Why shouldn't he be, he took a sensational catch there. Moeen Ali c Behardien b Kyle Abbott 12(17) [4s-1]
28.0 -
Rabada to Buttler, out Bowled!! Buttler's gone! Two quick wickets and England have lost half their side now. Wait a minute! The umpire checks Rabada's front foot and he is fine on that count. It was not the bowler, but the batsman who is responsible for this wicket actually. Pitched up on the stumps and it tails back in after pitching, Buttler should have been right forward to defend it, but he decides to play that from the crease, was a little late on the shot and ends up getting an inside edge that crashes into the stumps. Takes the leg stump out of the ground as well. Two ducks in three innings for Buttler now. Buttler b Rabada 0(1)
27.5 -
Rabada to Stokes, out Bowled!! A rather unusual way to get out for Stokes and he's livid with himself. Length delivery on middle and leg, Stokes goes right across to get inside the line of the ball as he looks to flick it away fine, he fails to connect and the ball crashes into the stumps. Tried to do a little too much there and paid the price with his wicket. Rabada is delighted and so are the South Africans. Stokes b Rabada 29(32) [4s-1 6s-1]
16.5 -
Wiese to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by de Kock!! Wiese strikes in his first over and Morgan's poor run continues. This time he jumps out of the crease to give himself room and Wiese bowls it short and well wide outside off, the English skipper had to really reach out for it and can only manage a top-edge as he looks to crack it away, de Kock takes an easy catch and throws the ball in the air in delight after completing the take. Eoin Morgan c de Kock b Wiese 2(10)
13.5 -
Tahir to Root, out Lbw!! Tahir was adamant that it was plumb and he was absolutely right. The flipper from Tahir, Root kneels down to sweep but the ball misses the blade and strikes him on the pad right in front of the middle stump. Looked extremely close with the naked eye and Tahir knew it. It was crashing right into the middle stump. Despite the umpire giving it as not out, Tahir ensured that AB de Villiers used his review and well, that has paid dividends for the visitors. So, Root won't become the first Englishman to score three ODI hundreds in a row, at least not this time. Root lbw b Tahir 27(25) [4s-4]
5.0 -
Tahir to Jason Roy, out Lbw!! The Tahir experiment has worked and South Africa have the first breakthrough. The quicker leg-break that just turns away slightly after pitching around middle, Roy was slightly squared up as he decided to hang back, he fails to defend and the ball turns past the outside edge and thuds into the back pad. The umpire took some time before raising his finger, much to the delight of Tahir, who had his arms up in joy. Jason Roy lbw b Tahir 8(15)
