Phehlukwayo to Moeen Ali, FOUR, England take the series 2-1. It is their second highest chase in T20Is and it is their captain leading from the front. The slower ball and Ali had plenty of gaps to pick from as the field was up with one run needed, he lofts it over mid-off to seal the victory

Ngidi to Morgan, 2 runs, in the air and put down. This was a tough one and Pretorius tries his best. Slower off-cutter and Morgan is down on his knee to play the slog sweep, the top-edge skies up over short fine and Pretorius runs back to get his hands to it, the ball does not stick and the backing up fielder tidies up

Ngidi to Morgan, SIX, fifty for Morgan. He equals his own record of the fastest T20I fifty for England. A captain's knock from him and he must see this through. The slower ball that is leg-lined, Morgan sits down on his back knee and deposits it into the grass banks near backward square leg

Ngidi to Morgan, SIX, Morgan is doing it for England. A low full toss and he might have missed it the previous time but not this time, he crouches low to get right under it and smokes it over a leaping deep mid-wicket fielder. 9 off 8 now..

Ngidi to Moeen Ali, 1 run, dropped! Ngidi is down on his haunches. Plenty of people in the crowd have their hands on their head. They cannot believe it. The bouncer and Ali has no other option than to take it on, the top-edge skies up towards square leg and Pretorius runs across from short fine, he gets there but the ball pops out as he hits the ground
