Moeen Ali settles some nerves in the dressing room as he slaps Rabada for a boundary through midwicket to make it seven needed from nine balls.

After a single to Ali, Jordan takes England closer as he hits a full toss from Rabada through the covers for a four. 2 needed from 7 balls.

A single from the last ball level scores leaving England with one run to get from the final over.
