SA 229-4 (20 ovs) vs Eng |  Scorecard

Jordan, who was hit for 22 runs in his first over by Amla, is back into the attack. The second ball is on the legs as David Miller flicks it fine for his first boundary with singles coming from the remaining five deliveries of the over.

Willey bowling it full and on the stumps as just three singles come from the first three balls. But he overpitches the fourth ball and Miller is happy to despatch the full toss over the leg side fence for a six to get 11 runs from the over.

Topley comes back and gets slammed for two consecutive sixes over the off-side by Duminy to take South Africa past the 200-run mark, in the 19th over. Topley is hit for 18 runs in his second over as he ends up conceding 33 runs in his two overs.

Jordan, who was hit for 31 runs in two overs, to bowl the final over. He gifts Duminy a full toss who carts it over long-on for a six to bring up his fifty in grand style, from just 26 balls as England's nightmare performance with the ball continues.

Duminy and Miller bring up their 50-run partnership in the final over from just 25 balls before the latter clobbers another full toss over square leg for the second six of the over. Miller slashes the last ball of the over square on the off-side for a boundary to take South Africa to a huge 229 for four in their 20 overs.

Duminy finishes unbeaten on a quickfire knock of 54 from 28 balls, having hit three fours and three sixes, while Miller slammed 28 from 12 balls, hitting two sixes and as many fours.

South Africa hit a total of 13 sixes and 20 fours in their 20 overs as they put up a superb exhibition of attacking batting with Amla, de Kock and Duminy hitting quickfire fifties.
