Amla gone, LBW off Wood! South Africa 145-2. Just what the doctor ordered for England, it was beginning to look like SA would do this at a canter.
I make that South Africa's highest-ever second-wicket partnership of all time in ODIs against England, beating the previous 110 by de Kock and du Plessis at Bloemfontein last February.
Add two wickets to the score! From 145-1 to 149-3 as du Plessis nicks one behind. Two fresh batsmen at the crease in AB de V and Duminy, England right in this.
And another one goes! Deirdre bowls an absolute gimme to Duminy, who tries to put it into the stands and only picks out Chris Woakes on the boundary. A startling similarity to England's innings; de Villers is now the key for South Africa as Morgan was for England.
