End of over 13 (12 runs) England 160/4 (70 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 12.30, RRR: 10.00)

JE Root43 (24b 2x4 2x6)
JC Buttler14 (7b 1x4 1x6)
DW Steyn2-0-35-0
JP Duminy3-0-31-1
12.6
Steyn to Root, 1 run
12.5
Steyn to Root, FOUR
12.4
Steyn to Root, 2 runs, very full and well timed by Root - to de Villiers at long-off who prevents four but can't prevent two
 

"The English captain fell with the score on 111," notes Vic, "the only one with a s/r of less than 100. Perhaps he was shot by his own".

 
12.3
Steyn to Buttler, 1 run, slower ball from Steyn and, though Buttler picked it, he can't do much with it. It's turned to leg for one
12.2
Steyn to Root, 1 run, beautiful, classy-looking pull but straight to deep midwicket
12.2
Steyn to Root, 1 wide, Root tries to ramp and gets himself into an odd position, as though crouching for a - well it's all wrong, and in any case Steyn sent it too wide
12.1
Steyn to Root, 2 runs, Steyn goes very full and Root smartly turns him for two
 

82 from 48...and Steyn's back
