South Africa vs England, 18th Match, Super 10 Group 1 at Mumbai, , Mar 18 2016 - Match Result

Good grief. What scenes. The bulletin is being scribbled as we speak, so keep your eyes on that, and join us tomorrow for more! Goodnight.

Faf du Plessis We've all played long enough to know that no score is unchasable. We said we needed to start with intensity and didn't do that. There were way to make extras from our point of view. Batting was superb, the first six on this wicket was the best time to bat and both sides did that. The execution of our extras, it makes it very tough because you are always under the pump."

Eoin Morgan Honestly, I felt we would have felt to play out of our skin to chase them. But there's a lot of talent in our team if we play with freedom. It's been going for just under a year now, we've had some big chases. But to get a start like that, Roy and Hales were outstanding. We'll take a lot of confidence. We came a little unstuck against Gayle, but tonight we finished well with the ball - it was just the first six overs. Batsmen are finding different ways of scoring."

"It's just nice to contribute to a game of cricket," flat-bats Joe Root, the player-of-the-match. "Be sensible, play smart cricket…and the guys were so calm under pressure.

"It's about staying cool and building partnerships." He picks out Roy, inevitably, for making his job marginally easier.

It's the second-highest T20 run-chase in history. By, yes, England - a thrilling two-wicket win and England are still in the tournament. A gutsy, remarkable performance by England having bowled so poorly. Jason Roy started things off with a de Kockian show of timing and confidence - he set the tone, as de Kock had for South Africa. Thereafter, Root was in control, as ever, well supported in a crucial partnership by Buttler.

South Africa's batters, though, were no less brilliant. de Kock and Amla's opening stand of 96 came in 7.1 overs of controlled mayhem, before Duminy's 54. Both sides' attacks struggled, albeit on a pitch tailor made for hard hitting

1 from 3. Ali's ready

This is madness. Brilliant. Exhilarating. And completely ridiculous

Honestly. What is going on? 1 from 6. 1 from 5. Now, it's 1 needed from 4, with two wickets in the hutch.

It's still on, South Africa! Believe!

1 from 6. Where's your money?

Well, that makes up a little for his bowling figures. No fast bowler has had any fun tonight

Jordan in now. He had a total Barry Crocker with the ball.

6 from 8

Neil: "20 wides, very costly." Just a bit.

And with that, do England have the match?

Root, undoubtedly England's captain in the next year or so, gives Ali a pep-talk before trudging off. Utter class. 83 from 44.

11 from 11...

Around the wicket

Root punches his fist in the air - South Africa are punching nails into their own coffin here

Anand: "Cant believe this is a T20 match. Scores at par with 50 overs and the pacing just perfect. Both teams have provided quality entertainment. Perfect for a Friday. Love it!!!"

Precision batting, this. His placement is something else

28 from 18, then, chaps. England's game to lose, and South Africa look a beaten team already. They must not lost heart, though - 28 from 18 isn't a cakewalk, but it is if you set your field as deep as they have
