କାଗିସୋ ରବାଡ଼ା c Jofra Archer b Liam Dawson 9 (4)
OUT! Caught. Liam Dawson to Kagiso Rabada. Stock length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to short third man, caught by Archer. It's over! England have secured a comfortable victory, defeating South Africa by a record margin. South Africa started brightly, but soon lost three wickets during the powerplay and were unable to build any momentum in their chase. Aiden Markram got off to a good start, but it was always going to be a difficult task and he couldn't convert into a substantial score. Jofra Archer bowled brilliantly, taking three wickets in the match. The series is now level and hopefully setup well for the decider on Sunday
