This is it from the live coverage of England vs South Africa, as we conclude this game with the Hosts in England winning it by 41 runs. That’s it for today from myself Nikhil Kalla alongside my co-commentators Anirudh with our scorer/analyst Paras. See you soon again with more games to follow till then stay safe.

Moeen Ali: "It's not easy to score off the spin straight away but generally I back myself against them but I just try and see and hit it. Jonny when he's going like that he is so strong and powerful, a lot of times we went really well and we bat well together generally. We just talked about what options we had and he's just a top player. It was a great wicket but also a great size fit for myself, once you hit, it generally travels as well"
Moeen Ali is the player of the match!
Jos Buttler ( England Skipper ) -: "Great performance, that's what we are looking for, Jonny Bairstow to bat through the innings is fantastic for us. Yeah, it's great to see guys step up and take that responsibility, great to have Jonny back he is having a fantastic summer and credit to Dawid Malan, they marshaled the innings there. Moeen is one of the stylish players to watch, you try to get him as much up as we can and to have him pick a wicket too is fantastic. Both of them bowled with great pace tonight, the 18th CJ bowled was fantastic and changed the momentum, Stubbs was putting us under pressure. I think it's about the guy and them bowling their best, the margins are small in today's game but if you execute the varieties of shots well, it can really take the game away."
David Miller ( SA Skipper ) -: The boys have been traveling around for some time now and this was a good wicket to bat on. Stubbs played an astonishing knock here. They were 90 something in the first 10 and then they demolished us in the last 10 overs. We dropped way too many catches as dropping 4-5 catches didn't help. We will sort it out by tomorrow. Well, I played in the local T-20 here, and what a phenomenal competition. Ngidi's fifer was a phenomenal bowling performance.

NIKHIL: So, we are done here with England winning the game by 41 runs, as they restricted South Africa to a total of 193 while chasing down a total of 234 which proved to be a bit too much for the Proteas.

England started in a way they are habitual to right now which is the aggressive approach even if the wicket keeps tumbling on either end, as they ended up scoring 48 for a loss of 2 wickets. Jos Buttler got going well and scored 22 runs at a brisk pace before perishing to Ngidi. Malan then joined Roy and scored a few as Roy perished on a score of 8 runs to Ngidi. Malan and Jonny took charge of the host's inning from there on and build a partnership of 71 runs when Malan perished to Phehlukwayo, then came Ali and scored a half-century off just 16 deliveries. Jonny continued his onslaught and scored 90 runs off just 53 deliveries and that helped the hosts to post a total of 234.

For the hosts, Ngidi started in a sensational manner as he managed to pick up a Fifer, getting rid of both the openers with the wicket of Jos at 22 and Roy at 8 after a struggling inning, Phehlukwayo picked up a wicket too.

In reply to the target set by the hosts, the Proteas started in a cautious manner scoring 49 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in the powerplay as they lost Quinton and Rossouw in the powerplay.

Reeza started well and tried to anchor the run-chase before he perished on 57. He was helped by Klaasen who scored 20, also Stubbs who scored at a furious pace to keep the visitors in the run-chase scoring 72 runs before perishing to Gleeson.

For the Hosts, Topley took got some crucial wickets of Quinton and Rossouw in the powerplay to break the backbone of this run-chase that looked like an uphill task. He was well helped by Rashid and Ali who took a wicket each in the middle stages of the Proteas innings. Rashid ended up with a couple of wickets and Gleeson was the stand-out bowler for the hosts as he scalped 3 wickets

W OUT!!! It has been this kind of a day for England where even the full-toss on the pads ends up in a wicket. This was full toss on the pads of Phehlukwayo and he has chipped this in the hands of Adil at square leg who collects an easy catch to dismiss him.
