That's all from the match today. The next match which is also the decider will be played in Cape Town on Sunday. Do join us at 1330 IST. Until then, it's goodbye and cheers!!!
Man of the Match, CHRIS MORRIS said he's been working hard on his batting the last 2 months. He continued by thanking his coaches who helped him. (On taking responsibility) He said when Wiese got out, he thought he should step up. Added that he was happy to contribute to his side's victory. (On him getting out) He chuckled and said he was disappointed but it was a good delivery he got out to. (When talking about the Man of the Match fees) He concluded saying he was handing over the match fees to a good cause and that he had said it before the match as well.
The South African skipper, AB DE VILLIERS said that it was a fantastic game! Went on to thank the crowd for coming in full force and supporting them throughout. Continued be saying he was happy winning the toss and restricting them to the total they scored. Also said they lost quick wickets but Morris took it home in the end. Adds by saying run outs were soft and if they had more wickets in hand they could have won comfortably.
The English skipper, EOIN MORGAN says it was South Africa's game to lose at the halfway stage. Adds that Joe Root was brilliant today as well. Continues saying his bowlers did well with the ball to come back, taking wickets and that it was their game to win. (On their brand of cricket) Says it was great and that he encourages his players to express themselves. Goes on to say that Woakes was great coming in his first game and that his bowlers played out of their skins. Concludes by saying they were poor in the field and could have clinched the series if not for those mistakes.
England bowled well at the start and also ensured runs were not given away too easily. Stokes, Topley and Rashid took 2 wickets each while Broad and Woakes contributed with two. However, Broad and Woakes were taken for a beating at the end by Morris. In the end, the team that deserved to win did win and South Africa will be delighted with this. They keep the series alive with this win leveling the 5-match series 2-2.
England then got back in the game with quick wickets of Behardien, Weise and Rabada whilst also upping the required run-rate. However then started the Chris Morris show just at a time when South Africa were looking down the barrel. The all-rounder took it upon himself and went berserk. His knock of 62 off 38 balls proved to be the difference between the two teams on the night. Just a reminder to rub salt on the wounds, he was dropped on 14!
Hashim Amla got out on a duck while de Kock started very very slowly. In the end he could not really capitalise on the time he spent in the middle. There was a 61-run partnership between him and Faf but then South Africa lost two quick wickets. AB de Villiers and JP Duminy resurrected the chase with a 58-run stand before the skipper got run out. Both the batsmen were given a life as well with the dropped catches.
What a run-chase! Chris Morris has done the job in the end for his team. He has played a blinder of an innings to get his team out of the jaws of defeat and win the match to keep the series alive. South Africa began the run chase on the wrong foot.

Adil Rashid To Imran Tahir
FOUR! And South Africa have finally gotten over the line! What a match! It was flat and wide outside off, Tahir smashed that through the gap in the off side and the ball has raced away to the boundary. SOUTH AFRICA HAVE WON THIS MATCH BY JUST 1 WICKET!

Adil Rashid To Chris Morris OUT!
OUT! Morris is bowled! The bowling change has worked yet again! It was shorter and flatter around off, the ball kept really low. Morris went for a slog but was completely beaten by the height and the ball went on to hit the stumps. So unfortunate as the last batsman coming in will be Imran Tahir!
ADIL RASHID is back on now.

Slower one on length around off, Morris went for the slog but was deceived by the change of pace. He needs to stay calm here.
