ENG beat SA by 2 wickets | South Africa vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match - Commentary

Right then, England have a target of 257 to chase to save themselves from the embarrassment of losing their first series after the high of World Cup. The pitch is a bit sluggish in nature and South Africa will be hoping that they have enough on the board to defend. Do join us in a short while to find out how the run chase pans out...

The English bowling was on the mark for most parts. Every bowler was impressive, especially the spinners. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid combined for 4 wickets in 20 overs where they gave away just 93 runs. The pitch also assisted their type of bowling and they took full advantage. Towards the end, Chris Jordan received a stick but his initial overs were very accurate and tidy. A word of praise for Tom Curran who was brilliant at both ends of the innings. It came as a surprise that the debutant Saqib Mahmood was not given any over at the death.

After being put into bat, South Africa were going decently till the first Drinks break as Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma formed an alliance. But the picture changed completely in the next hour after that. Both batsmen got dismissed and Rassie van der Dussen also flopped. JJ Smuts played his shots but failed to convert his start into something substantial. With the African innings falling apart, David Miller took the onus on himself and stuck to the task of bailing the home team out. He formed a partnership with Andile Phehlukwayo but the one with Lutho Sipamla offered the real impetus to the Protean innings.

Killer Miller! What a striker! When he is on song, it's a treat to watch! In this Pink ODI, David turned up in full force.

Adil Rashid to Rassie van der Dussen. DRAMA! Plenty of drama! A wicket has been overturned. Rashid serves it on a fuller length close to off and van der Dussen fails to pick it. He stretches forward to defend but misses as the ball spins past the inside edge and pings him on the front pad. They appeal, the umpire thinks and thinks and thinks... before raising his finger! Rashid is delighted. There is no review left so Rassie has to walk back. He's on his bike. HANG ON! South Africa are awarded a review here. Reason - There was no Ultra Edge available on the last dismissal, so the home team has been granted a referral. Time to refer it upstairs and the Ball Tracker finds it to be missing the leg stump. Fair decision has been made in the end and this is what matters the most. Carry on, plenty of time has been lost in this drama already.

Rassie van der Dussen replaces Bavuma.

Adil Rashid to Temba Bavuma. OUT! LBW! Bavuma has to depart! He fails to read the googly and gets hit on the pads in front of the stumps. Rashid and the other English players make a loud appeal once again. This time the umpire agrees and raises his fingers. Bavuma gets to the other end to have a chat with his skipper. They then signal the 'T'. Time for the replays. First up, front foot. And it's fine. Is there an inside edge? Replays show there seems nothing although without the Ultra Edge. Where is it pitching? In the line of the stumps. Hitting the stumps? Yes, it is. Three reds and Bavuma has to go. He starts walking but the umpire asks him to wait. Why? Because Ultra Edge is not there to confirm, he stands for a while and the replay rolls in again. Ultra Edge is still unavailable and Bavuma has been told to carry on with his walk back to the pavilion. Review lost also? Not sure. South Africa will feel hard done if they lose it as there was only half technology available.

Bavuma has been adjudged LBW and after a chat with de Kock he has taken the DRS. This indicates there is no bat involved. Let's see what the replays have to say. The Ultra Edge is not available it seems and after Ball Tracker shows that it is all reds Bavuma starts walking back. But hold on he gets near the ropes and has been told to wait. He waits and still there is no Ultra Edge and after a brief wait, the umpire has raised his finger.
