End of over 19 (6 runs) South Africa 120/7 (15 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 6.31, RRR: 15.00)

KJ Abbott1 (1b 0x4 0x6)
CH Morris3 (2b 0x4 0x6)
CJ Jordan4-0-23-3
MM Ali3-0-22-2
 

"Embarrassing by SA," grouches Louis. "Faf faffed around, Duminy didn't do enough, Roussouw gave it away. SA contriving to throw the game away."

 
18.6
Jordan to Abbott, 1 run, short outside off, pulled down the ground, bounces to long-on - England happy to concede the single and keep Morris off strike
 

Are we witnessing The Vindication of Chris Jordan? One ball left in the over and Kyle Abbott is in to face it

 
18.5
Jordan to Wiese, OUT, dragged on! Full and wide as Wiese stepped to leg, swung blindly and chopped the ball into leg stump!

D Wiese b Jordan 2 (9m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
 

This is getting tighter and tighter... Wiese keeps the strike

 
 

"Jordan doing what he does best - embarrassing his critics," hoots Jez

 
18.4
Jordan to Wiese, 2 runs, short ball, Wiese swivels on the pull and gets it wide of deep square leg, they hurtle back for two
18.3
Jordan to Morris, 1 run, fired in full, excellent yorker from Jordan but they steal one anyway
 

FYI, courtesy of Gnasher: The lowest total England have defended in a full T20 is 129

 
18.2
Jordan to Morris, 2 runs, swings a top edge down to third man... is that a drop? No, Topley didn't quite get there running in, maybe could have done a bit better but couldn't get his hands under it
 

In comes Chris Morris, who won the Joburg ODI for SA... 21 off 12 the equation

 
18.1
Jordan to Miller, OUT, pitched up and drilled down the ground, straight to long-on once more! Jordan has another, SA slip-slide again, this game is not giving up... Miller's candle is snuffed out and the pendulum swings

DA Miller c Root b Jordan 13 (12m 9b 1x4 1x6) SR: 144.44
