South Africa beat England by 19 runs in their ICC World Twenty20 Super Eights match in Cape Town on Sunday.
20 overs: Mascarenhas is 15*, Schofield is 6*, and the job is done.
19th over: Van der Wath to Flintoff (17), who is bowled all ends up.
18th over: Morne Morkel to Snape (7), who spoons a catch to De Villiers at cover. Flintoff is 16*.
15th over: Albie Morkel to Shah (36), who hoiks and has his middle stump rattled. Pity that Philander dropped Flintoff (9*) at deep cover off the first ball of the over.
13th over: Albie Morkel to Prior (32), who drives and is smartly caught by Philander swooping in from deep cover. Shah is 30*.
5th over: Pollock to Collingwood (0), who edges his first ball to Kemp at slip.
5th over: Pollock to Pietersen (15), who pulls. Ntini fields at short fine leg and fires in the throw. Pietersen runs straight down the middle of the pitch to try and put himself between the throw and the stumps, which means he collides with Pollock who is covering the stumps for the throw. The direct hit finds Pietersen minus his bat and short of his ground. If he had been running where he should have been he would have avoided Pollock and made it.
1st over: Pollock to Wright (0), who drives loopily and is caught by De Villiers in the covers.
South African Innings
Albie Morkel's late flurry and five dropped catches summed up South Africa's innings of 154 for eight against England in Cape Town on Sunday.
South Africa had wobbled to 91 for five when Morkel walked to the crease in the 15th over.
He belted the fifth ball he faced for six, and the thrash was on. In all, Morkel hit three fours and four sixes - three of them consecutively off leg-spinner Chris Schofield - in his 43.
Morkel was dismissed with the last ball of the innings, and he may just have given South Africa a chance of victory after they threatened to veer off the rails in the face of England's disciplined bowling.
Pace bowler Stuart Broad led the England attack with his return of three for 37.
England bowled with discipline, but they did themselves no favours by dropping those five catches. Mark Boucher survived two of them off consecutive deliveries, and went on to make a punchy 29.
Teams:
South Africa: Graeme Smith (captain), JP Duminy, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher, Justin Kemp, Shaun Pollock, Albie Morkel, Johan van der Wath, Vernon Philander, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini.
England: Luke Wright, Matt Prior, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood (captain), Owais Shah, Andrew Flintoff, Jeremy Snape, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Chris Schofield, Stuart Broad, James Anderson.
