End of over 2 (3 runs) South Africa 14/0 (121 runs required from 18 overs, RR: 7.00, RRR: 6.72)

HM Amla8 (9b 1x4 0x6)
AB de Villiers2 (3b 0x4 0x6)
RJW Topley1-0-3-0
DJ Willey1-0-7-0
1.6
Topley to Amla, 1 run, stays back, nudged through square leg for one more
 

"I wish you were my bank manager - I'll take 7% even when it looks more like 6%." I'm just a generous guy, Donald

 
1.5
Topley to Amla, no run, length on the stumps, Amla tries to go down town but gets an inside edge to the leg side
1.4
Topley to Amla, no run, full length, fired across quite wide but inside the guidelines and Amla leaves it alone
1.3
Topley to Amla, 2 runs, back of a length and tucked off the hips for a couple behind square
 

"Is it just dark or is there a storm lurking?" The former, I think, Jan. Although it could be both and I don't think a flood will save England unless it arrives before the fifth over

 
1.2
Topley to Amla, no run, sliding across, short of a length, dabbed toward to backward point
1.1
Topley to Amla, no run, length ball on off stump, Amla cautiously prods at it in defence
 

Reece Topley, another lefty, from the other end... He gave Amla some tough moments in the ODIs
