| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | FOUR | Steyn to Alastair Cook, FOUR, superb way to get off the mark, full ball on the off stump line and it snakes back in, Cook comes forward and leans into the drive, punchily creams it to the long off fence | 4/0 |
| 1.5 | FOUR | Peterson to Alastair Cook, FOUR, confident stroke from Cook, Peterson tosses this delivery up too full just outside the leg stump, Cook bends forward and rolls his wrists over the ball as he sweeps it to the deep backward square leg fence | 10/0 |
| 2.1 | FOUR | Steyn to Ian Bell, FOUR, poor line from Steyn, this is a belter of a pitch to bat on, fuller length ball slanted in on the pads, Bell easily flicks it to the deep backward square leg fence, Amla runs in from fine leg but he has no chance | 14/0 |
| 3 | FOUR | Steyn to Alastair Cook, FOUR, once again Steyn loses his line, length ball on the pads, Cook clips it to the deep mid wicket fence | 19/0 |
| 3.4 | FOUR | Peterson to Ian Bell, FOUR, this delivery is short of length and it bounces a touch more outside off, Bell rocks back and makes room to cut it to the third man fence | 23/0 |
| 4 | OUT | Peterson to Ian Bell, out Lbw!! The man in form departs. Good bowling this from Peterson. He stays round the wicket and pushes this arm ball through, it skids off from a good length as Bell comes forward and plays inside the line of the delivery, the ball hits the front pad and Peterson appeals for an LBW, umpire Dharmasena gives it out and replays show that the ball was hitting leg stump. Ian Bell lbw b Peterson 10(11) [4s-2] | 23/1 |
| 4.3 | OUT | Steyn to Bopara, out Caught by de Villiers!! Bopara's poor show continues. It looks very bleak for him now. Good length ball in the zone just outside off and it straightens a touch, Bopara uncertainly pokes at it and the thick edge is snapped up by de Villiers. Bopara c de Villiers b Steyn 0(2) | 24/2 |
| 5.2 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Bairstow, FOUR, wonderfully played by Bairstow, fuller length ball angled in on the off stump, Bairstow closes the bat face and whippily flicks it to the deep mid wicket fence | 30/2 |
| 7.3 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Bairstow, FOUR, CRUNCH! Superbly done by Bairstow. Morne drags this delivery short and wide outside off, Bairstow crashes the square cut past the gap at point and it races away to the deep | 34/2 |
| 8 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Alastair Cook, FOUR, not the best way to end the over though, another short ball just outside off, Cook latches onto it and muscles the pull shot to the deep mid wicket fence | 39/2 |
| 9 | DROPPED | Steyn to Bairstow, no run, catch dropped by de Villiers, not an easy chance by any means, short of length ball and it nips back in just outside off, Bairstow pokes at it and the ball takes the inside edge, de Villiers is wrong footed and he falls to his left but the ball fails to stick in his gloves | 41/2 |
| 11 | FOUR | Parnell to Alastair Cook, FOUR, WHACK! Short and wide delivery outside off, easy pickings for Cook as he frees his arms and crashes the cut past the point fielder and the ball screams away to the fence | 48/2 |
| 16 | FOUR | Peterson to Bairstow, FOUR, poor line from Peterson and Bairstow makes him pay, this flatter delivery is full and down the leg side, Bairstow sweeps it past the gap at short fine and backward square leg for a boundary | 69/2 |
| 18.5 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Bairstow, FOUR, amazing shot from Bairstow, short ball just outside off, Bairstow swivels and attempts the pull, one hand comes off the bat handle as he slams it to the deep backward square leg fence | 79/2 |
| 19 | OUT | Morne Morkel to Bairstow, out Caught by Ontong!! Oh dear, very disappointing way to go. Full ball on middle and off, Bairstow moves to the off side and flicks it uppishly, but he holes out to Ontong who is stationed at deep square leg, he had hit it perfectly but he found the fielder there, Morne breaks this dangerous stand. Bairstow c Ontong b Morne Morkel 29(52) [4s-4] | 79/3 |
| 19.5 | OUT | Duminy to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Amla!! Inspired captaincy from de Villiers. Poor shot from Morgan though. Duminy stays round the wicket and bowls a nicely flighted delivery outside off, Morgan charges down the track but does not get to the pitch of the ball, he miscues the lofted shot and Amla at mid on takes a simple catch. Eoin Morgan c Amla b Duminy 0(2) | 82/4 |
| 20.2 | FOUR | Parnell to Alastair Cook, FOUR, edged but safe, short delivery outside off, Cook attempts the cut and gets an outside edge that flies to the third man fence, no slips in position | 86/4 |
| 24.1 | OTHER | Parnell to Alastair Cook, 1 run, short of length ball just outside off, Cook flays it to third man and gets to his 13th ODI fifty, well played by the skipper, this is his first major score in international cricket after scoring 152 in the first Test against RSA at the Oval a couple of months back | 97/4 |
| 25.2 | OUT | du Plessis to Alastair Cook, out Caught&Bowled!! That is a very soft dismissal indeed. du Plessis stays over the wicket and bowls a low dipping full toss just outside off, Cook ends up bunting it back to du Plessis who takes the catch easily, that ends a good knock from Cook but he should have carried on. Alastair Cook c and b du Plessis 51(72) [4s-6] | 99/5 |
| 26.3 | FOUR | Parnell to Kieswetter, FOUR, majestic shot from Kieswetter, full ball and in the slot outside off, Kieswetter gets forward and presents the high elbow as he laces the drive to the deep extra cover boundary | 111/5 |
| 27.2 | FOUR | du Plessis to Samit Patel, FOUR, short ball and spinning away outside off, Samit latches onto it and cracks it to the deep backward point fence, he found the gap nicely there | 115/5 |
| 30.3 | OUT | Steyn to Samit Patel, out Caught by de Villiers!! Steyn strikes. Clever bowling this. This is the slow bouncer from Steyn and it climbs up on the middle and leg stump line, Samit looks to fend at it by turning it to fine leg, the ball brushes the glove and de Villiers takes the catch. Samit Patel c de Villiers b Steyn 9(13) [4s-1] | 124/6 |
| 31.1 | FOUR | Elgar to Kieswetter, FOUR, Kieswetter has really biffed that, Elgar drags this delivery short on the middle and leg stump, Kieswetter sizes it up and clouts the pull shot to the deep mid wicket fence | 128/6 |
| 31.3 | OTHER | Elgar to Kieswetter, 1 run, this slower delivery is short in length on the middle and leg stump, Kieswetter whips it to deep mid wicket, that is 1000 runs in ODIs for Kieswetter | 129/6 |
| 35.1 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Kieswetter, FOUR, bang! He starts off the batting PP in an aggressive fashion, overpitched and in the slot, Kieswetter gets to the pitch of the ball and lifts it over the fielder to deep extra cover | 144/6 |
| 36 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Woakes, FOUR, another short delivery and this time Woakes goes after it, didn't get it off the middle of the bat, but the top edge takes it all the way to fine leg, one bounce and into the fence | 149/6 |
| 36.4 | FOUR | Parnell to Woakes, FOUR, short again outside off, Woakes goes hard at it and the outside edge flew past the slip cordon and races away to third man | 154/6 |
| 37.3 | OUT | Morne Morkel to Kieswetter, out Caught by Amla!! He's holed out going for a big shot, slower and fuller outside off, Kieswetter backs away to the leg side and was looking to go over the top, didn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and miscues it high in the air towards mid off, where Amla settles under it comfortably. Kieswetter c Amla b Morne Morkel 33(53) [4s-3] | 156/7 |
| 39.4 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Woakes, FOUR, he's got it through, shortish delivery on the hips, Woakes moves across to the off side and works it off his hips to fine leg | 164/7 |
| 43.2 | OUT | Peterson to Tredwell, out Bowled!! England continue to struggle, well tossed up delivery on middle, Tredwell was looking to play it through the onside, was beaten completely in the flight and the ball sneaks through the bat-pad gap and crashes into the stumps. Tredwell b Peterson 6(19) | 175/8 |
| 43.3 | OUT | Peterson to Anderson, out Caught by Morne Morkel!! Another one bites the dust, England are losing wickets in a heap, well flighted again, Anderson looks to send this out of the ground first ball, misread the flight and miscues it high in the air towards mid off, where Morkel takes a good overhead catch. Anderson c Morne Morkel b Peterson 0(1) | 175/9 |
| 45.2 | OUT | Parnell to Dernbach, out Caught by de Villiers!! It's all over folks, an average performance from the England team, another shortish delivery angled across him, Dernbach goes for a huge swipe across the line and only manages to get a thin under edge to the keeper. Dernbach c de Villiers b Parnell 2(6) | 182/10 |

| 1.4 | OUT | Dernbach to Graeme Smith, out Caught by Tredwell!! There's the first strike for England, a sharp catch by Treadwell at second slip, it was a poor delivery though, short and wide outside off, Smith goes hard at it and the outside edge flew at chest height towards 2nd slip, it was travelling fast and went straight towards Treadwell, who juggled it initially and takes it on the second attempt.
