Ali to Miller, 1 run, swung through backward square leg, not a great connection but he'll keep the strike
 

Here's Jmani, with a flashback: "Little too early, but would like to quote this from the 1st innings - 'Umair: "man i'd love to read the comments of english fans if they go on to win the match after they dissected the whole team..."'"

 
17.5
Ali to Miller, FOUR, four more, lasered through the covers! Miller picks up back-to-back boundaries with a couple of brutal blows
17.4
Ali to Miller, SIX, that'll help the home nerves, gets underneath a fierce blow down the ground, just enough to clear the diving Roy on the long-off boundary
17.3
Ali to Miller, no run, switches the hands and misses again, this time hit outside the line of off
 

This one is threatening to go down the gurgler for SA

 
17.2
Ali to Miller, no run, pushed through no the stumps, tries to reverse sweep and hit on the pad, not given
 

David Wiese in, Miller on strike

 
17.1
Ali to Rossouw, OUT, flighted on the stumps, Rossouw sweeps - and loops a top edge to short fine leg! Simple catch and England have another wicket at a key moment!

RR Rossouw c Rashid b Ali 18 (20m 18b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100.00
 

Pressure building, who's going to blink? SA need 32 off three overs...
