ENG VS RSA - 2nd T20I, South Africa tour of England, 2022

Back-to-back games and it is 1-1 for both the teams. England did well yesterday and tasted their own medicine today as SA rose from the mediocrity of yesterday to showcase some prowess today. T20s need swiftness and we have seen that. The series decider will again be a cracking one. On that note, we will take an exit. Ta ta ta!

Rilee Rossouw, Player of the Match: The neck is alright. Feeling a little dizzy. You got to try and be proactive. I felt confident coming into this summer. Very proud that I was selected again for the country. I tried my best but Jordan did well and denied the ton.

David Miller: We will take a win. A good turn around for us. A great performance. We had one or two meetings to clear up from last night. We picked ourselves up. I am really chuffed with the bowlers. They made it easier for me by picking up wickets. I wasn't juggling around too much as they executed really well. Massive boundary out there. It was a left-right combination that we had to keep in mind.

Jos Buttler: I think it was a good wicket. So many of us including me got starts but didn't convert it like Rilee. We haven't played to the level we are known to play for. Individually as well collectively we need to improve. It should be a great decider at Ageas Bowl.

21:44 Local Time, 20:44 GMT, 02:14 IST: England have been shaky with their white ball cricket and today's performance was another proof of it. 208 was a big target but they never really threatened much because the moment they tried to, they lost a wicket. SA were good with spin and seam. Spinners took care of the middle overs and the rest was done by the seamers. Shamsi bowled it slower and lured the mistakes from the batters. The wickets in the middle overs just ruined the chase for England. Earlier, Hendricks and Rossouw did enough damage with the bat to get SA more than 200 on the board.

Ngidi to Richard Gleeson, out Caught by de Kock!! The keeper went up actually and convinced his skipper to take the review. There was a little spike and SA have finished it early. A big win for the visitors. SA win by 58 runs. The series goes into the final game with the winner taking it all. Richard Gleeson c de Kock b Ngidi 0(1)

Ngidi to Richard Gleeson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Ngidi to Topley, 1 run, slower delivery, digs in, Topley pulls that down to deep mid for a single

Reece Topley, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Ngidi to Jordan, out Caught by de Kock!! Was a short ball, outside off, Jordan looked tp drag the pull away and cue-ended it to the keeper. That was such a fine edge. Was a slower delivery and Jordan was through with his shot too early. QDK didn't have much to do. Jordan c de Kock b Ngidi 5(4) [4s-1]

Ngidi to Jordan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Review taken. A caught behind appeal and Jordan thinks he hasn't edged it. Was a short one, Jordan looks to pull but has he edged it? I think so. A little spike on UltraEdge.

Ngidi to Jordan, no run, 60 needed off 23 balls now. Ngidi would love to close it soon. Slower one, outside off, Jordan throws his bat at it and misses

Lungi Ngidi [2.0-0-10-0] is back into the attack

Richard Gleeson, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Phehlukwayo to Adil Rashid, out Bowled!! Gone! Another one falls. SA tightening the grip further. Was a slower one, Adil Rashid walks across his sticks and looks to heave it but misses to be clean bowled. Phehlukwayo has his third. He has blown hot and cold but has got the wickets and that matters in any format of this game. Adil Rashid b Phehlukwayo 3(3)

Phehlukwayo to Adil Rashid, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Phehlukwayo to Jordan, 1 run, holds himself back and biffs that down to deep cover for a single

Phehlukwayo to Adil Rashid, 1 run, walks across the sticks and nudges it to mid-wicket for a single

Phehlukwayo to Adil Rashid, wide, oopsy. He is making a habit of it now. Another wide. This is bizzare from Phehlukwayo as he sends that well outside off for the batter to leave it alone without any hassles. Not helping the overrate
