South Africa vs England

Gleeson's given the nod to bowl for the sixth over. Big shot on the fourth by Hendricks, but it's straight at Topley. Wide by Gleeson on the fifth.

Hendricks goes legside to get off the mark on the third ball. Another wide by Topley in the over. And well placed for a four on the final. That's the special thing we have in that dressing room. Reece Topley in for the second over. Terrific placement from Hendricks on the first ball to open with a four. A good strike straight down the ground, not a big boundary on that side, for a six for Hendricks on the fourth. Another four to finish the over. Flipped away legside by Rossouw on the fifth for a six. Wide on the fourth. He didn't hold back there, looking to smash it out the ground! Rossouw plants the ball into the Taff on the fifth.

England vs South Africa Live Cricket Score: 2nd T20 International at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.

England will be keen to erase their recent record in ODIs and kickstart their home campaign with a win. The day could see some rain showers in the morning. England have won four of the last five encounters between the two sides.

Both sides unchanged as Buttler opts to chase following high-scoring opening fixture.

Not to mention the fact that Bairstow was in by the ninth over anyway, and Rossouw was always going to come in at No.3 to accompany Hendricks. On this occasion, it was a tactic that made a lot of sense but did not produce any tangible reward. Barring a 41 in the third ODI against India, he has struggled to get the measure of the white Kookaburra ball, occasionally showing flashes of timing amid plenty of mishits and lapses in judgement. It might not have been a century, but Rossouw's score was a reminder of both his talents and what South Africa have missed out on over the last six years. The ability to smash boundaries at will - as per Bairstow's eight sixes in his 53-ball 90 on Wednesday - was the only way out of this hole. And when Buttler became the first batter of the night to find the stands beyond the longest boundary, and then struck six-six-four off Phehlukwayo, England were in the mix. Just 24 hours afterdefeat by 41 runs in Bristolon Wednesday evening, it was a redemptive performance from the Proteas to draw level at 1-1.

Rilee Rossouw scored 96, helping South Africa post 207 before they bowled England out and set up the series decider at the Ageas Bowl.

“We haven’t won one yet this summer and that’s something we’re not accustomed to as a group, but this is the start of a new cycle as a team. This series marks his first appearance in the South Africa side since taking a Kolpak contract at Hampshire and leaving his homeland in acrimony in 2016 and he showed what they have been missing in the intervening period – and what they have now gained as they move towards October’s T20 World Cup. Representing your country is the proudest thing anyone can do and today was emotional for me.” “Since Brexit happened I’ve put in some really good performances and the management has backed me and selected me. Several bowlers emerged in significant credit including Tabraiz Shamsi, who leaked 49 runs in three wicketless overs the previous evening and took three for 27 off four here. The Proteas’ defeat in Wednesday’s opening fixture in Bristol was marked by some hapless fielding but here they were almost faultless.
