ENG vs SA Live Cricket Score

9.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Moeen Ali strikes and England finally get a breakthrough. A tough stay for Reeza Hendricks comes to an end. Moeen Ali lands it full and outside off and provides a few revs as well, Reeza Hendricks advances down the ground to go up and over downtown but slices it up off the toe-end, the bat twists in his hands, and skies the ball very high in the air over mid on. Harry Brook stationed at long on, runs a few yards ahead, settles underneath it, and pouches it safely. 86/1

11.5 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. Comes back from around the stumps does Archer and pushes the ball wide of the off stump on a good length but rolls his fingers over the ball and takes all the pace off. Quinton de Kock hangs back in the crease and looks to force the ball over the off-side but only manages to get an outside edge that flies to the left of the keeper. Buttler springs to his left and pouches it with one glove to hand his side a big breakthrough. 92/2

13.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, wow! What a sensational bit of fielding from Jos Buttler and he is ecstatic and rightly so too. Mark Wood misfires with the bumper again and spills it well down the leg side. Heinrich Klaasen leaves it alone and Buttler gets an awkward bounce as the ball rolls off his body towards short fine leg. David Miller calls Klaasen for the single a bit late and Klaasen isn't even watching his partner but does set off. Buttler takes off one glove, gets to the ball, turns around, and just scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. Klaasen isn't even in the frame. 103/3

19.1 OUT! TAKEN! Magnificent catch from Harry Brook! Jofra Archer serves it fuller in length, and shade on the off stump line, David Miller clears his front foot to open up the off side but gets it off the toe-end and hits it flat in the air and to the left of long off. Harry Brook patrolling the long off fence sprints to his left, gets low and takes a screamer of a catch. He slides with the momentum but manages to keep it in the hands. Miller departs. 155/5

14.4 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Aiden Markram cannot believe it and is devastated but he has to walk back cheaply here. Smart bowling this from Adil Rashid as he slows this one right up, bowling it at just 76.3 clicks and giving it a nice loop outside the off stump. Markram plants his front foot across and looks to thump it through the off side but gets a big inside edge and the ball goes back onto the stumps and the bails come off. England with another timely wicket and South Africa are on the back foot. 113/4

19.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! This time Sam Curran takes an audacious catch! Jofra Archer gets his third. Full and on off, Marco Jansen clears his front foot and tries to hit it too hard, and loses his shape trying it to play it over the off side but ends up slicing it over covers. Sam Curran there backtracks from the inner ring, keeps his eyes glued to the ball, and puts in a timely dive to take a sensational catch. He tumbles on the ground but sustains the catch. 155/6

1.5 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. Kagiso Rabada fires in a fuller-length delivery, outside off, Phil Salt takes a step ahead and spanks it flatly but fails to keep it along the ground and hits it toward covers where Reeza Hendricks flies to his left and takes a brilliant catch in the air with both hands. 15/1

8.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was telling and Keshav Maharaj has got rid of the dangerman Jos Buttler. Nicely slowed up, on a length, and drifted into middle and leg. Buttler goes down on one knee and goes for the slog-sweep with the wind but gets it quite high on the bat and gets no distance on it. The ball hangs up in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Heinrich Klaasen settles under it and redeems himself with a reverse-cup take over his head. Maharaj has his second wicket and the English skipper walks back after a sedate inning. England three men down now. 54/3

6.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Jonny Bairstow won't get another life and Keshav Maharaj gets another 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 right and dives in to take a fine catch with both hands. 43/2

10.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Baartman strikes now and England is in all sorts of trouble being four down now. Ottneil Baartman comes from around the wicket, and delivers a short-pitched delivery outside off, Moeen Ali tries to drag it uppishly over mid-wicket but doesn't move his feet at all, and hits it too hard, losing his shape and completely slicing the ball up in the air. The ball goes up in the air and travels straight into the safe hands of Keshav Maharaj who runs from the deep and takes a good catch ahead of deep mid-wicket. 61/4

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Unbelievable take from skipper Aiden Markram and he could have just won the game for his side. Anrich Nortje steams in from over the stumps and rolls his fingers over the ball before pitching it up around off stump. Harry Brook is on the front foot and looks to hit through the line but is early in the shot and the ball gets lofted over mid off. Markram backtracks and keeps his eyes on the ball before diving over his shoulder and grabbing a stellar catch with both hands. Markram even manages to keep the ball in his grasp when his elbows thud into the ground. What a turnaround this could be! 150/6

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Kagiso Rabada with another full toss and this time, Liam Livingstone has holed out. Livingstone will though feel that he has done his job. KG serves this one on the pads and gets it to dip just a bit, Liam Livingstone picks it up and looks to slog it over deep backward square leg but hits into the breeze. Tristan Stubbs moves to his right from deep square leg, slides on his knees, and takes a good catch under pressure with the reverse cup. Rabada seems pumped up but is it too late for South Africa? 139/5
