00:00well finally we're going to have some cricket action a nine over game between

00:14south africa and england harry brooke won the toss and said we will have a bowl first it's

00:20very wet out there slippery ball and aiden markrum said no problems with that i'll go and have a

00:27bat at the top of the order one change luke wood wasn't playing when the side was announced

00:32yesterday for a 20 over game he comes in for joffra archer i mean morgan is next to me i mean it looks

00:39like england for a nine over game however maybe a batter too many and a seamer too few yeah i agree

00:47nas i think this english side is more about getting games under the belt sticking with their guns still

00:52want to bat deep in a nine over game but they are thinking the long-term plan towards february the

00:57more experiences for the likes of curran bant and jacks jamie overton they can get under their belt

01:03the more equipped they'll become going into a world cup said africa looks strong again

01:08luann pretorius in at number three powerful left-handed hitter donovan ferreira in the

01:14middle of order beside marco jansen three two one game on luke wood with the first ball of this nine

01:25over game

01:26right you are our expert in this sort of format what is the key in nine overs just go every ball

01:36go mad thought you're about to say conditions absolutely nailing it down all afternoon nine

01:43overs aside maximum of two overs per bowler power play 2.4 overs in this format you need to give

01:49yourself a couple of balls made a handful of seasons of t10 cricket in the middle east it is great fun

01:56to play in there is a bit of swing there is the outside edge luke wood into the side and straight into

02:05the wickets yet the perfect line and length in these conditions for a luke wood brian rickleton

02:14goes first ball for a duck

02:16luke wood

02:17wandre pretorius comes in at number three early

02:21toe end of the bat but he gets it past mid off and that's the first boundary

02:28well you don't have to worry about running and trying to catch that unless you're in the crowd

02:36and he has done just that

02:38as he is he on one leg yes with one leg a brilliant catch

02:44straight back down the ground and all the way for six

02:51well both of his sixes now being some of the hardest shots to play

02:57lack of a length deliveries he stands tall on the crease

03:00those aid and marker but hits through a good hard link that is a difficult shot to play

03:05and again doesn't quite time it and because luke wood brought his length back a fraction

03:13he had to be on the up a bit more

03:15that's gone a long way up mid wicket gets round sets himself and puts it down

03:23phil salt at deep mid wicket drops it i said keep an eye on the fielding

03:29that is two chances a hard one and a relatively easy one for salt

03:34that didn't sound great off the bat but it's an excellent grab from the england captain

03:43that's how you do it diving forward

03:46yet again luke wood just producing opportunities first two

03:50balls of the over will put on the real pressure from markrum

03:54then there was the drop catch then the first ball to luan

03:57pretorius brilliant catch coming forward picks the length early moves well

04:03pretorius goes for two 33 for two

04:07although al brevis comes in hugely talented young man

04:12short gone straight up a man has just been moved to mid wicket

04:18no mistake this time you cannot keep luke wood out the action two wickets now the catch

04:25and markrum has to go

04:27later markrum plays well 28 from 14 south africa 37 for three

04:36straight down the ground into the river tass

04:38no not quite

04:40yeah thinks he got it straight away has a couple of looks very short boundaries

04:49only a chip somebody a brevis is power only needs to get a little bit on it

04:55fires in attempted yorker same result now we said this is going to be a tough over from

05:02liam dawson as the 50 comes off for south africa 51 for three

05:11brilliant batting wonderful batting because he's renowned as a straight hitter

05:16that's where he's been hitting his sixes so far

05:21we toss that one up invitingly and donovan ferrera needs no second invitation to smack that straight

05:30for six pulled and it's a massive hit these are big boundaries here at cardiff

05:40and a smile from adil rashid as if to say yeah i'm not i think you've got the

05:45better of me there that was hammered into the crowd so 73 the score from six

05:50and he'll start with a wicket a comeback wicket for sam corin and a good wicket as well because

06:02brevis very dangerous brilliant straight hitter and on this ground that is a danger so that's

06:07a big wicket for sam corin brevis goes for 23 of 10

06:10quicker this time and flies off the edge of stubbs's bat

06:19scooped brilliantly and scooped over the sight screen and into the river

06:27excellent bowling from jamie overton gets a yorker in at the base of off stump too good for stubs

06:43yeah the orthodox ramp was fantastic that went all the way

06:46the reverse ramp will not as effective for stubs

06:50stubs has to be on his way for 13 of 6.95

06:55ferrera down the ground and successfully so 25 off 11

07:05some going

07:07managed to carve it away and you get the feeling that could be the end of the south african

07:12innings

07:13well they had to come off it was just hammering it down

07:17and uh a little farcical really so the umpires

07:21graham lloyd and martin saga's absolutely right to call a halt to proceedings

07:26the fingers crossed that the rain stops and england can have a dash

07:31one imagines if it remains as nine overs their dls school will go up but we can't have any time in

07:37the tank so remember five overs is a minimum game

07:41well five overs 69 the requirement the power play is 1.3 overs

07:50so nine nine balls three two one game on

07:57phil salt then facing up to jahiso robada

08:03oh he's hold out unbelievable really

08:09unbelievable

08:11he's absolutely nailed that phil salt but it's gone to that

08:15deep pocket one of the longest parts of the ground

08:19fielder didn't have to move

08:21phil salt couldn't have picked him out

08:23gorgeous hundred that jacob bethel scored in southampton

08:28or slap it straight one bounce for four

08:37well there he goes

08:42it was on the full

08:45he's put it away for six and you can see why he's trying to play the shot

08:50there's massive gap there with mapaka very square

08:55bethel goes fine and gets it all the way for six

09:04i think it came out of the middle of the bat

09:06but it doesn't need to here at cardiff so bethel

09:10is up and running with his first boundary

09:12goes high in trouble and taken ferrera excellent fielder good pair of hands

09:25good catch this never easy running backwards over your shoulder does it well

09:30jacob bethel seven from four deliveries england 17 for two

09:39so harry brooke england's captain joins joss butler in the middle

09:49my word that is a lively delivery from jansen

09:53oh almost brilliantly done by robada who is trying to use the conditions

10:00and the juice on the surface to get a slide in

10:03almost pulled it back just in front of the boundary edge

10:10hammered away leg side

10:11well hit flat and hard from butler picks up the length so quickly

10:27well an extraordinary four ball innings that was from harry brooke

10:31well he's tried everything in the four balls that he's faced down on the ramp

10:37look to play the up and under and this the flick just to the leg side

10:40oh straight up it's a good catch harry brooke goes for a duck england 28 for three

10:50he's hammered that i said that jansen wouldn't be easy to hit down the ground

10:56for six well if anybody can joss butler can

10:59ah i can't get it away and butler in great frustration

11:06knows that uh he's edged that one through to the keeper very very faint and fine nick

11:12and that might be the moment that jansen and south africa clinch this game

11:17butler plays well 25 from 11

11:19trouble here for banton trouble for england markram the safe hands of markram he clings on at mid off

11:34and south africa now just five balls away from what looks like the first victory in this t20 game

11:42banton goes for a runner ball five

11:49there's one of them

11:54well what a way to open up your account i'm in in fine form with the bat and ball

12:03he has put it in the slot but curran can only sky it as far as cover oh no it's gone down it was

12:10very difficult it went a mile high the zard williams put it down at point

12:15it's a chaotic end to this game

12:24bosch finishes with the yorker that's what he was looking for throughout that over he finally gets it

12:29right and south africa win comfortably england uh end on 54 for five in their five overs remember

12:37south africa made 97 for five in their 7.5 overs it was reduced from a t20 to a nine over game then

12:45reduced again one of them ferreira one of those south africa batters who uh got to grips with matters

12:52markram himself looked in good order as did brevis and ferreira in particular that's where the runs

12:58came 28 from markram and unbeaten 25 from ferreira brevis with 23 all of them striking at over 200 that

13:07was the heart of south africa's 97 for five england needing 69 could make only 54 for five

13:15in their five overs joss butler the top score with 25

13:19so
