End of over 4 (9 runs) South Africa 31/0 (104 runs required from 16 overs, RR: 7.75, RRR: 6.50)

HM Amla20 (16b 3x4 0x6)
AB de Villiers7 (8b 0x4 0x6)
RJW Topley2-0-12-0
DJ Willey2-0-15-0
3.6
Topley to Amla, 2 runs
3.5
Topley to Amla, FOUR, back of a length outside off and Hash slashes at it, takes a healthy edge... and Buttler grasses it moving to his right! The ball runs away for four to further grind Topley's gears
3.4
Topley to de Villiers, 1 run, slanted across the right-handed AB from over the wicket, drops back and guides one to third man
3.3
Topley to Amla, 1 run, short again, slower ball, I think, swatted down through square leg for one
 

"Time to give Reece Topley a place in red ball format....." James miller, like any good England supporter, seeks solace in proper cricket

 
3.2
Topley to Amla, no run, dragged down, Amla goes to pull but picks out midwicket
3.1
Topley to de Villiers, 1 run, touch short and whipped through the leg side
 

Some talk of rain possibly arriving... but seems clear enough for now
