Update 2 - S. Africa 179-6 (20 overs, innings closed) . Sam Curran bowled well, with 3-28

Update 3 - England off to a shaky start : 40-3 off 7 overs. Malan 19, Bairstow 10 n.o.

Update 4 - Partnership of 85 by Bairstow ( who finished on 86 n.o.) and Stokes (37) turned the match back in England's favour. With Bairstow in great form, and useful support from Morgan and then Sam Curran, England reached 183-5 off 19.2 overs, and won by 5 wickets.

A bit complicating have both Curran's playing! Watched some of this before the Rugby League Final. Did well Bairstow and a good start for England.

Unchanged England team. England won the toss and South Africa are batting first again.

Update 1 - Tom Curran has just taken a great catch to dismiss de Koch. South Africa 50 for 2 off 6 overs. England can put the fielders back now.

Update 2 - Rashid bowling well and has picked up two wickets . South Africa 75-4 now

Update 3 - Rashid has finished his 4 overs with figures of 2-23. Great performance in this format.

Update 4- S. Africa 146-6 (20 overs, innings closed). Archer kept the S. African batsmen pinned down too , with 1-18 off 4 overs

Update 5 - England 97-4 . Bairstow only made 3, Malan still batting, Morgan has just come in

Update 6 - Spectacular catch by R. Hendricks on the boundary to dismiss Malan, but he's played a great innings of 55 to put England in a strong position, needing 12 off the last two overs to win

Update 7 - Sam Curran out (bowled). England need 3 runs off 4 balls... Jordan gets 2 runs off his first ball faced. Scores level.

Update 8 - England 150-6 and win by 4 wickets with a ball to spare. Morgan finished on 26 not out, Jordan 6 not out. England win the T20 series.

First scheduled ODI match has been postponed due to coronavirus case in the South Africa camp. The plan now is to slot a replacement match into the schedule.

Update - only one S. African player tested positive for coronavirus. The rest of the squad were re-tested the next day and are all ok, so the ODI series will continue

ODI Match 2 postponed due to coronavirus cases in the players hotel. The players themselves are unaffected and there is a game now scheduled for tomorrow,
 
Latest reports now saying two unconfirmed Covid cases in the England camp, which could put the rest of whole tour in doubt

ODI series cancelled due to coronavirus problems. England players are scheduled to fly home in a few days time anyway, but anyone who has tested positive for coronavirus will have their departure delayed.
