A delayed start meant the match was reduced to nine overs per side, and the Proteas blitzed 97-5 in 7.5 overs before another rain disruption. England's target was revised to 69 in five overs and with little choice but to attack from the outset, they reached 43-5 needing 26 from five balls. From there, the recalled Sam Curran whacked a six to offer the hosts a glimmer of hope, but the tourists eventually closed out a comfortable win as England finished on 54-5 with two wickets apiece for Corbin Bosch and Marco Jansen. Jos Buttler had kept England alive with 25 from 11, including three sixes, but they were left to rue top-order wickets as Phil Salt was caught at fine leg from the first ball of the chase, Jacob Bethell chipped to cover for seven and captain Harry Brook made a chaotic four-ball duck. Earlier, Jofra Archer was replaced by Luke Wood in a late change, and the seamer removed Ryan Rickelton in the first over before captain Aiden Markram led the charge with 28 from 14 balls.Dewald Brevis, who became the SA20's most expensive player in Tuesday's auction, made an entertaining 23 from 10 balls before he fell to the recalled Curran's first ball while Donovan Ferreira finished unbeaten with 25 from 11.

England were lucky to not be punished further by dropping Markram - he was put down by Salt on 24 - when he was caught by Wood off Adil Rashid in the following over.After the tourists reached 73 in six overs, Brevis was furious to be deceived by one of Curran's ultra-slow deliveries, clocked at just over 50mph, as he skewed a catch to backward point.Tristan Stubbs played an audacious ramp for six which saw the ball fly out of the ground, but tried and failed a second time to be bowled by Jamie Overton for 13.But Ferreira finished with the outrageous power which he perfected during Oval Invincibles' winning Hundred campaign, including a crucial six off what proved to be the last ball of South Africa's innings.

The former captain was caught behind from the last ball of the penultimate over bowled by Jansen to all-but end England's hopes before Tom Banton fell for five a ball later.
