Points Table | ENG vs SA Full Scorecard.

OUT! That's it! Ben Stokes picks two in two. Imran Tahir is caught in the slip. And with it England win the match by 104 runs. I Tahir c Root b Stokes 0(1)

OUT! England inching towards victory now. It is Kagiso Rabada who departs now and Ben Stokes picks his first wicket. What a game he is having. K Rabada c Plunkett b Stokes 11(19)

OUT! Liam Plunkett gets Hashim Amla. The right-hander after coming back from injury did not look that comfortable. And ends up edging one to the wicketkeeper. H Amla c Buttler b Plunkett 13(23) 

13 overs remaining now. Kagiso Rabada has joined Hashim Amla in the middle. England in total control at the moment. South Africa needs a miracle from Amla and tail-enders to chase the required runs down.

OUT! Ben Stokes just pulled one of the greatest catches in World Cup ever. Phehlukwayo departs and it is Adil Rashid who gets the wicket. But this is more of a fielder's wicket! Phehlukwayo c Stokes b Adil Rashid 24(25)

Hashim Amla is back on the field. Will be interesting to see how he goes on from here. Meanwhile, South Africa needs 132 more runs to win from 16 overs. It is around 8.25 runs per over.

OUT! Just when England needed a wicket, Jofra Archer strikes. The pacer accounts for Rassie van der Dussen, who was looking good after scoring his half-century. Could not get hold of the shot and hits it left of mid-on fielder. van der Dussen c Moeen Ali b Jofra Archer 50(61)

Andile Phehlukwayo has joined Rassie van der Dussen in the middle. South Africa needs a big partnership here. As of now, it is England dominating the show. 

OUT! Run-out was the last thing South Africa wanted. And it happened. The batsmen were looking to take the second run but sharp throw at non-strikers end followed by Eoin Morgan's good work results in a run out. Pretorius run out (Stokes/Morgan) 1(1)

OUT! JP Duminy throws his wicket away. Poor batting by the left-hander. Needless from him especially after having hit Moeen Ali for a four couple of balls before. Duminy was looking to clear the Ben Stokes at long-off but ended up hitting it towards him. JP Duminy c Stokes b Moeen Ali 8(11)

Halfway through, South Africa have lost three wickets besides Hashim Amla's injury. The required run-rate for South Africa is now worth seven runs per over. And the equation now reads 175 runs to win from 150 balls.

Meanwhile, update regarding Hashim Amla's injury

OUT! BIG wicket this for England. Liam Plunkett strikes, he gets rid of well-set Quinton de Kock. He was going well but played a poor shot and was caught near deep fine leg. Q de Kock c Root b Plunkett 68(74)

20 overs gone and South Africa needs 215 more runs to win from 180 balls. The current partnership is worth 53 off 63 balls and it is Quinton de Kock who is doing the bulk of the scoring.

That's fifty up for Quinton de Kock. He earlier survived despite ball hitting the stumps and is making good use of the lifeline.  Important for South Africa that de Kock stays in the middle for a longer period. 

England attacking with spin from both the ends now. Adil Rashid from one end and Moeen Ali from other. Meanwhile, Rassie van der Dussen is the new batsman in for South Africa, he joins Quinton de Kock in the middle.

Jofra Archer is here to bowl his fifth over. Du Plessis gets OUT by Moeen Ali on a score of 5. This is the second wicket of five as he gets a top edge. Rassie van der Dussen, right handed bat, comes to the crease. A single scored from the last over. 

Chris Woakes continues to bowl and he starts off with no run. Three runs from the next three balls. No run to end the over.
