More Jonny Bairstow fireworks help England to ultimately easy T20 win over South Africa.

The tourists end on 193/8.

Great death bowling from Jordan - that 18th over, that went for just three runs, put England well on top at a time when Stubbs was threatening to win the game for the tourists on his own. The next over saw Stubbs depart and with him so too South Africa's chances of victory. 

It was, as expected, a high-scoring match but one that England deserved to win, thanks, it has to be said, to some woeful South African fielding. 

Three wickets from that Gleeson over and the match is won by the hosts. Just Jordan's and England's final over to go. Once Stubbs went all the tension went. 

Phehlukwayo c Rashid b Gleeson 22

It's all but over for South Africa as  Phehlukwayo  flicks a full toss to Rashid at square leg. 

FOW - 188/8

Rabada b Gleeson 0

A fast, straight ball does for Rabada - as Gleeson sends his leg stump flying. 

FOW - 187/7

Stubbs c Roy b Gleeson 72

It's the end of Stubbs and the end of South Africa (barring an unlikely miracle). He tries to hit Gleeson's first ball down the ground for six but doesn't catch it and Roy claims at long off. What a knock, though, he's made a name for himself, 72 off 28.

FOW - 184/6

Jordan's over opens with a yorker that is dug out by Stubbs for a single - he's off strike, one thing England will be happy with. 

Phehlukwayo then digs out another brilliant yorker from the England bowler. Stubbs then cannot get hold of a low full toss and it's just another single. 

This over is going England's way...even more so when another yorker results in a dot ball. 

Two balls to go this over - can Jordan complete the job? Yes, he can. A dot ball precedes another dot ball...

Chris Jordan take a bow - just three runs from that over. England now favourites...

South Africa need 51 off 12 balls. 

As long as Stubbs stays there the tourists are still very much in the hunt...

Curran opens this over with a brilliant yorker - right in the block hole to Phehlukwayo. Stubbs is back on strike next ball after a single down the ground. 

How will Curran bowl at Stubbs? The first ball to the young gun drifts onto his legs and he helps it on its way for another six...that ball was way too straight from the Surrey bowler BUT what an innings this young man is playing. 

Next ball Curran bowls wide of off stump and it's just a single - that's the way to go, bowl as wide as you dare...

Two singles end the over. 

South Africa need 54 off 18 balls. 

Gleeson returns to the attack with a legside ball that  Phehlukwayo glances for four. Next up the South African hits the fast bowler in front of square for another four. A single follows and then, with Stubbs on strike, a full delivery is sent racing to the square-leg boundary. Next up Stubbs chip just in between mid wicket and long on for two. 

The over ends with another Stubbs' six - this one baseball batted down the ground...he's impressive. 

South Africa need 64 off 24 balls

Phehlukwayo times Topley perfectly first ball of the over with a cultured drive for four. The new man then pulls for a single to bring dangerman Stubbs back on strike. England will think it's game won if they can get the young gun out in the next few balls...

Topley bowls a short one and Stubbs slaps a six to cow corner for six - JUST...Livingstone nearly got a hand to it - looking at the replay it was a bit of a miscue from the South African. Topley responds with a dot ball - a wide yorker outside off-stump. A single follows and it's Stubbs' 50 - it's come of just 19 balls - what a talent, he's keeping the tourists in this match 

South Africa need 85 off 30. 

Great over from Stubbs but England will be happier with that over as the last really power hitter (bar Stubbs) in this South Africa line-up has gone. Phehlukwayo needs to get up and running now - he's off the mark first ball with a single. 

South Africa need 98 off 36 balls.

Miller c Jordan b Rashid 8

Stubbs looks like a great batsman - he makes room for himself to hit Rashid for four to the extra-cover boundary. Then next delivery he makes room for himself to smoke the ball over square leg and way, way, way out of the ground. I doubt they'll find that ball again. A single comes off the next ball and Miller is on strike - he's been a happy observer as Stubbs has set about the England bowlers. 

But back on strike the South Africa captain hits down the ground and Jordan takes a brilliant catch on the dive. 

FOW - 136/5

Jordan returns to the attack - a single is followed by a good-length ball, the length the attack has found with regularity tonight. Three runs come from the first four balls before Stubbs latches onto one back of a length but the young gun clears his leftside and clears the boundary at cow corner - his fourth maximum. 

Ten from the over and the tourists now need 110 from 42

Moeen bowls a full toss and Stubbs doesn't look this gift horse in the mouth, hitting it for a six down the ground. He repeats the trick next ball with a sweetly struck slog sweep. He looks a good bat, this 21-year-old. 

The over is ended with another Stubbs six, this one over extra-cover. 

Twenty two off the over - just the over the tourists needed. 

They need 120 off 48 balls. 

Topley is back - no shock with two new batsmen at the crease - four runs come off the first four deliveries. Just one more run follows. Another good over for the hosts. 

The lengths of the England bowlers have been brilliant. They've bowled fuller than South Africa.  

Stubbs is the new man  and he's off the mark first ball. 

The required rate is 14.5 an over now. 

Hendricks c Curran b Moeen 57

Moeen comes into the attack. Three singles come off the first three deliveries before Hendricks goes for the slog sweep but he gets nowhere near it and holes out to deep mid-wicket. 

FOW 86/4

Curran returns to the attack. Miller is off the mark first ball with a single before Hendricks goes for a risky two, he dives at the end and that's enough to see him well in. 

Hendricks then pulls for four and that's his 50 - it's come off just 28 balls and just what his side needed. 

Curran, by way of congratulations, brings out his lesser-seen bouncer. It does the trick in the sense that it's a dot ball. Another dot ball follows before Hendricks edges for four, Moeen should have cut it off, however, at backward point. 

Great over from the leggie - England will be overjoyed to break up that partnership. 

Klaasen c Jordan b Rashid 20

Rashid is on and he starts well - four from four. He's varying his pace and has found a good length so far. Another single follows before Klaasen ends up hitting it into the grateful hands of Jordan at long on. 

FOW - 72/3

Hendricks is clearly seeing the ball well - he picks up a 90mph Gleeson ball off off-stump for a six out of the ground over square leg. Gleeson isn't having any of it and spears one into the batsman and it hits Hendricks full on the hand. 

Klaasen hits down the ground for four - it was a touch fuller from the England man - he looks as though he's now seeing the ball well. The over ends with another four and it's another good over for the South Africans. 

The tourists still need 13 an over but are better placed than England after seven overs. 

England were 53/2 and South Africa are 67/2

This pair have put on 60 off 30 balls...

Jordan is on and second ball he overpitches it and Hendricks hits him over his head for four - lovely shot. Hendricks looks as though he's in - next ball he hits over the infield to cow corner. Jordan then strays legside and Klaasen glances him for four

Good over for the tourists - 14 runs from it. 

Gleeson has made a startling introduction to international cricket and he does so again here - a fine, quick ball that beats Hendricks for pace, takes a thin edge before Buttler cannot take a tough chance and it goes for four...Two balls later he again gets the better of Hendricks but the ball takes a thickish outside edge for four. 

Glesson is then hit for a genuine four - but it's a good over, full of genuine heat. 

Klaasen leans into another drive for another four - he's started brightly. Topley responds with a dot ball. Four singles follow to make it eight from the over. 

Klaasen hits a boundary before Hendrick has enough of of keeping it on the deck as he hits an uppish drive over the infield for an elegant, much-needed four. 

What an over for Topley and the hosts - the required rate is already up to 13, huge pressure for the tourists. 

Rossouw c Gleeson b Topley 4

Rossouw is the new man in - back in the side for the first time in six years. The left-hander reminds his team-mates what they've been missing with a four to the mid-wicket boundary BEFORE swiping at a wide (ish) ball outside off peg - the ball goes high to the onrushing third man, Gleeson. 

FOW - 7/2

De Kock c Malan b Topley 2

Reece Topley takes the new ball from the other end and second ball he bowls short and wide and De Kock slaps him to short extra cover.

FOW - 3/1

Sam Curran has the first over two singles come off the first four balls. Another one follows before a full, dot ball. Excellent first over from the Surrey all-rounder. 

And South Africa's response is about to get underway. Can they get close? We're about to find out. 

Chris Jordan was the new man in for one ball and the innings ends with a legbye...

Great stuff from the hosts who were really helped along the way by some poor fielding from the SOuth Africans. 

A word for Ngidi who persevered and ended up with figures of five for 39.

Bairstow c Rossouw b Ngidi 90

Three balls left with Sam Curran on strike he swipes legside for a single. 

Bairstow is on strike with two balls to go - he's on 90...he again tries to hit for six down the ground - the ball goes high, high, high and into the hands of Rossouw FINALLY THEY'VE CAUGHT SOMETHING! Too little, too late, however...

FOW - 233/6

Livingstone c De Kock b Ngidi 5

Ngidi has the pleasure/pain (delete as applicable..) of bowling the last over. 

The first ball is a full ball scuffed behind square by Bairstow - there's an appeal for lbw, it's given not out and with very good reason as it was going well, well, well, down legside. 

Livingstone is on strike and he gets it fine for four down legside - everything is going England's way. He then edges a wide one with three balls to go. 

FOW - 232/5

Rabada is on for his last over - there's a single off the first and Livingstone is on strike, he baseball bats a single. Then next ball Bairstow clubs a six over mid-wicket, he's up to 89.

Brilliant comeback from the pace ace - a yorker than evades everything on its way to De Kock. Another dot ball follows and full toss results in a single last ball of the over. 

England's highest total in T20s is 241/3.

Ngidi came back well there - but the one batsmen you don't want to see stroll out in these circumstances is Liam Livingstone...

Twelve balls to go. 

Moeen c De Kock b Ngidi 52

Bairstow is DROPPED AGAIN. This one was tougher than the others - the England man pulled the ball and Klaasen drops it, helping it on the way for a four. South Africa's fielding has disintegrated...

Two fours from the first two ball of this Ngidi over - they're followed by a no-ball and wide before Moeen heaves him for the latest six to the short side. That's the left-hander's 50 - 52 off JUST 16 balls..! 

Ngidi comes back well - with a dot ball and then a slower one outside off-peg which catches the edge of the bat - the end of a waonderful 52 off 18 balls. 

FOW - 218/4

Bairstow starts the over with a six to legside off Phehlukwayo. That's backed up with a huge six to square-leg next ball. I say six that should have been a 12 - it's the sweetest strike that send the ball out the ground into the car park...HUGE. (A reminder that the Ginger Bradman has been dropped twice so far...) 

The bowler - a replacement ball in hand - comes back  with a...wide...ouch...another wide follows, he's trying to keep it away from the short legside but it's not working...pressure...

THEN BAIRSTOW IS DROPPED AGAIN!! It looked like another wide ball but Bairstow fetches it and hits down the ground,   Hendricks is the one to blame this time - it was an easy catch by elite standards...

It then goes from bad to worse as next ball Moeen achieves what his partner was aiming for - a six down the ground. The runs are flowing and next up the left-hander swipe a six to deep square leg. Four sixes so far this over and there's still a ball to go...

And, yep, you've guessed it - it's another SIX - this one down the ground again. 

THIRTY THREE from that over. Phehlukwayo missed his length on five of those eight balls and missed his line with two of the others...

Safe to say that was England's over...

A challenge for Tristan Stubbs - a 20-year-old comes one with England still with seven wickets in hand and with four overs to go...huge call from Miller...

The off-spinner starts off well, conceding just two singles before Bairstow goes down the ground hitting a low, hard six. Stubbs only missed his length by an inch or so. Next ball Stubbs wins the battle (sort of...) as Bairstow hits it straight up in the air - Rossouw comes in off the mid-wicket boundary and DROPS IT...

As if the rub salt into the wounds Stubbs is then hit for six off a no ball...two come off the resulting free hit...

It was a tough ask for Stubbs and he wasn't exactly helped by his team-mates there...20 off the over. 

Phehlukwayo is back, third ball he drops one way too short and Moeen is on it like a flash pulling it for six...(it's brilliantly caught in the crowd). The England left-hander backs that up with a four between midwicket and long on. Both batsmen on full-out attack now...last ball of the over a single brings up Bairstow's 50 - it's come off 36 deliveries. 

Big over this - Shamsi is back on and England need more runs, they'll have to target the spinner who they've taken 35 runs off so far off his first two overs. 

A single comes off the first ball, the left-armer then bowls a wide - not what his skipper wanted to see. A two - thanks to the latest misfield - comes next. Shamsi drags one short but Bairstow can only pull for a single. Another wide then follows before Moeen tries to launch him into orbit BUT it's just a single to cow corner. 

Finally Bairstow latches onto a short ball, hitting it for six to the legside. The England batsman was sitting back waiting for that one. 

Fourteen from that eight-ball over - that could have been worse for the tourists. 

Rabada does return and Moeen is off the mark with a push into the offside. He's back on strike two balls later and is  onto a short one like a flash - pulling with ease for four. Eight from the over. 

That's the over and I suspect Rabada will return and Miller seeks to back up one wicket with another. 

Malan c de Kock b Phehlukwayo 43

Phehlukwayo returns and pushes the ball across Malan knowing the shorter boundary is legside. Fourth ball is a slower, short one and the left-hander finds that shorter boundary - an easy, effortless six. The next ball is full and outside off and Malan drives him through the air to the extra-over boundary. Great timing from Malan. 

Then Phehlukwayo gets his man - a back of a length, outside off, quicker delivery that finds the edge. 

FOW - 112/3

The 100 comes up with yet another single off Maharaj - he's still bowling beautifully. Two runs from the first five balls are followed by the latest single. Good, important over for the tourists after that Shamsi over. 

Fabulous shot first up from Malan - he gives himself room to open up the offside and he drives elegantly for six to the long-off boundary - class. 

Two balls later, after a Malan single, Bairstow rocks onto the back foot and hits a four to cow corner. 

Shamsi is under pressure and a ball later that's only increased  as Bairstow pulls for six with ease. Shamsi's gone for 31 off 10 balls so far...

A wide follows before another drag down only results in a single much to the bowler's relief. 

England's over - 21 runs from it. 

Great bowling again from Maharaj - three singles from the first five balls. He completes the fine over with jsut a single off the last - Malan swipe to the sweeper on the legside. Just four from the over. 

Big change in momentum? After the six off the final ball of the last over Malan follows suit with a six of his own off the new bowler Shamsi - a pull to the short leg-side boundary. 

The Paul Adamsesque (frog in a blender) left-armer comes back well with just a single off the next three. That gets Bairstow on strike and hit pulls it hard and flat - it's a chance for Klaasen on the boundary, but he loses it and it goes for a maximum. 

Maharaj returns from the other end, and he forces this pair once again to deal in singles - five from the first five balls - not what they want but just what the doctor ordered for the South Africans. The ball is skidding on but Bairstow decides he's had enough of scampering between the wickets (something he's very good at...) and slaps the left-armer for six to the wide long-on boundary. 

South Africa, you have to say, are on top. The dimensions of the ground suggest the hosts should be further ahead in this powerplay than they are at the start of this over. 

Once the over begins - bowled by Phehlukwayo - five singles are struck off the seamer, a good start from him. He completes the over with a dot ball. 

That's a good powerplay by the tourists - they're bowling well and disciplined on a tough ground on which to keep the score down. 

Ngidi has a great array of slower balls and that Roy wicket was Exhibit A for anyone wanting to make that argument...

Bairstow is the new man in and the man of the summer so far is greeted with huge cheers from the crowd and a fine ball from Ngidi, which the batsmen plays and misses. He then gets off the mark thanks to another misfield at extra cover.

Roy c Klaasen b Ngidi 8

Two singles from the first two balls are followed by Roy succumbing to a fine slower delivery by Ngidi. As soon as he hit it he knew he was done for - caught at point. 

FOW - 41/2

Rabada with his second over two - two singles come from the first three balls before Malan decides enough is enough. The left-hander picks up a fine delivery and hits it for six over mid-wicket. That's a sweet strike, great to watch and one that suggests this is a good pitch to bat on...

Ten from the over. 

Malan in the new man in and he's off the mark with a less than convincing pull for one. 

Twelve off the over BUT dangerman Buttler back in the pavilion - South Africa will settle for that. 

Buttler c Miller b Ngidi 22

New over, new bowler Maharaj is replaced by Ngidi. A wide and a single is followed by chipped six over extra cover by Buttler. Next ball the England skipper cuts a slower ball for four  - he's off to a fine start. 

But as I type that he tries to repeat that six down the ground - he doesn't get all of it and Miller takes a great catch just inside the rope. 

FOW - 28/1

Rabada takes the new ball from the other end. Roy chips the first ball just wide of the diving short mid-wicket for a lucky(ish) single. Another single follows before Roy charges the returning pace ace but cannot get bat on ball - when struggling for form that's something the opener likes to do - no luck so far with the ploy today. 

Good tight bowling from Rabada - he's bringing the ball back into the Surrey man, giving him no room to free his arms. Great over from the tourists, just three from it.
