Inn Break
Right! The game could've gone either way. It is England who manage to cross the line once again and take an unassailable lead ahead of the last game. That's it from this game! We will look for your company for the final T20I of the series which will be played in Newlands, Cape Town on Tuesday, 1st December 2020 at 1800 local (1600 GMT). Join us for that game. Until then, goodbye and take care!
Eoin Morgan, England skipper, says that they had to try a little harder towards the end but feels that they had no run rate pressure like the last game. Feels a couple of big overs and they were back in the business. Tells that having players who have been in similar situations helps them. Praises Rashid for his performances and states that he was superb in the last game too but he went unnoticed. Terms him a big part of the unit. Adds that this series and the one in India is where they will try to settle down their 15 men for the T20 World Cup in 2021.
South Africa skipper, Quinton de Kock, says that Dawid batted well and Morgan led from the front. Tells that little errors frustrates them a bit but mentions it is part and parcel of the game. Feels if a couple of small things went their way, they would've been on the other side. Praises Shamsi for his performance after a poor outing in the last game. Adds that every game that you play is different and says that the players need to learn fast and keep their heads high.
Dawid Malan is named Player of the Match for his brilliant knock. Tells that he struggled early on to get his timing right. Feels that when they were under the pump, they managed to find a way. Adds that they have got a number of match-winners in the team. Says that all the players are used to play big tournaments. On him being no.1 T20I batter in the world, Malan says that he tries not to think about that as it doesn't help him get the runs or stay in the team. Credits the bowlers for setting the game up for them.
Earlier in the game, when it looked like South Africa will be rolled over to a very low total after they lost a few quick wickets. However, Rassie and Linde stitched a fine stand of 44 to take the team's score close to 150. Adil Rashid was pick of the bowlers for England as he got 2 in his 4 overs. Archer, Jordan and Tom managed a wicket too. Eventually, the score thay they stopped the South Africans on was good enough for their batters to scale down.
The South African bowlers managed to take the game till the last over with some fine bowling. It was Shamsi who turned things around with his 3-fer. Lungi Ngidi got two wickets as well but he was taken for over 50 in his 4 overs. Nortje bowled well but he failed to get any wicket. In the end, the total that their batters put on fell a bit short and they failed to defend it.
Chasing the total, England were off to a scratchy start as Roy struggled to get going. Buttler found the fence 4 times in his little innings but he too fell early. Malan kept his end but he lost two partners quickly in Bairstow and Stokes. However, he along with skipper Eoin Morgan added valuable runs and kept the team in the chase. It was looking difficult for them but the 17th and 18th over saw Morgan and Malan break free. They got quick runs in those overs and in the end Morgan took the team over the line with one ball still left in the run chase.
A nervy chase and it ends with England on top! They take the 3-match series with one game still to go. A tough track to bat on, both the teams struggled but Malan and Morgan managed to find the boundaries just in time to help the team get over the line. Malan fell after getting to his half ton but the skipper stayed till the end to see his side get home.

FOUR! EDGY FOUR! That wasn't too far from getting caught behind. Good length and just around off, Morgan looks to drive but gets an outside edge. The ball goes to the left of de Kock who is wrong-footed and he fails to catch or stop the ball. Morgan and England get a streaky boundary. Luck not going South Africa's way at all.

Lungi Ngidi To Dawid Malan OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! WOW! That is a stunning take from Hendricks. Malan falls now. Is there a twist in this game? Full and wide outside off, Malan goes after it and launches it towards long off. Hendricks there, jumps and takes the catch near the ropes. However, he realizes that he will go over the ropes so lobs the ball up, goes to the other side of the ropes, gets back in position and jumps inside the play to take the catch. Terrific work.

He gets down and looks to slog sweep again. This time though he gets a top edge that balloons to to the left of the keeper. De Kock calls for it and gobbles it with ease.

NOT OUT! It is umpire's call on impact as well as on hitting the wickets! Flatter and around off, Stokes looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. Huge appeal from Shamsi follows but not out says the umpire. South Africa take the review. Replays roll in and it shows that the the impact is umpire's call and so is the wickets as it is just clipping the leg pole. Stokes stays.
Review time! South Africa review for an LBW decision. Stokes is the man in question. That looked to be going down the leg side. Let's see what replays show. Impact on umpire's call and wickets umpire's call too. So, Stokes stays. South Africa will keep their review.

Tossed up and on middle and leg, Bairstow goes for the mighty slog sweep but he fails to get the timing right. It goes right down the throat of the man at deep mid-wicket. Hendricks there makes no mistake. The hero of England's last game has to take the long walk back.

Lungi Ngidi To Jason Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Ngidi strikes in the first over and Roy's troubled period out in the middle is over. Ngidi spots Roy giving himself room outside off, he bowls it wide and bangs it short. Roy looks to hammer it over the off side but ends up getting a top edge. It goes high in the air towards cover. Klaasen settles under it and takes it easily.

Anrich Nortje To Jos Buttler
Rabada drops a catch now. Nothing going South Africa's way at the moment. Got both his hands around the ball but as he was getting down, he spilled it. A short ball around off, bounces a little extra. Buttler goes for the pull but mistimes it to the right side of the mid on fielder. Rabada there runs to that side, dives and gets his both hands but in the end drops it.

Anrich Nortje To Jason Roy
NOT OUT! The late decision of going for the review pays off for Jason. He survives. Nortje goes for the yorker first up but ends up dishing it very full ball on the pads, Roy looks to flick but misses to get hit on his back leg. They all appeal and the finger is raised. Roy starts to walk off and then stops. He has a long discussion with Buttler and at the very last moments calls for the DRS. And he is saved by the technology as the ball was missing the leg pole but quite a distance.
A very late decision of the DRS from Roy! He has been given out LBW! Let's see if the technology saves him. No bat confirms the Ultra Edge. Missing the leg pole. Roy survives.
Just one over for Linde. Here's Anrich Nortje. He had a terrific Indian T20 League with Delhi. Let's see what has got up his sleeves.
