    Broad to Morkel
    Broad has done it! England take the game! South Africans, don't mention the C-word! Somehow England have pulled off a stunning win having been the wrong side of two close results before. It was full and up there to drive, Morkel aimed a big swing but could only feather through to Prior. Broad has conjured up a stunning final over to win the game, England's fielders are going ballistic, not so knackered anymore!

    Broad to Morkel
    Broad spears in a full delivery from around the wicket and Morkel clears his front leg to try and thwack down the ground. Straight to mid-off
    47.2
    1
    Broad to Tahir
    wow! Tahir aims an almighty heave through the off side. The inside edge skews away through midwicket to get him off strike. That'll do nicely
    47.1
    W
    Broad to Steyn
    Broad has nailed Steyn here. Full, nipped back a touch and struck flush in front. Looked stone dead, the umpire agreed and despite a review Steyn had to go.
    46.6
    1
    Bresnan to Steyn
    excellent bouncer, sharp and rearing into the helmet. Steyn fends it off and gets the ultimate bonus of keeping the strike
    46.5
    2
    Bresnan to Steyn
    touch short, and too wide from Bresnan. Steyn pops up on his toes and steers a very confident cut shot through a diving point. Single figures needed now. Wonder how Tahir feels
    46.4
    0
    Bresnan to Steyn
    solid, pressure-defining defence from Steyn
    46.3
    1
    Bresnan to Morkel
    just a hint of width and that's all the invitation Morkel needs to swing his long, long arms through the ball. An outside edge sends it skimming down to third man
    46.2
    W
    Bresnan to van Wyk
    is there another twist!? Surely not? Bresnan strikes just when England needed it. van Wyk looking to cut but it was too close for the shot, ended up bottom edging onto middle stump
    46.1
    1
    Bresnan to Steyn
    that's poor from mid-on. Hanging back on the ring Broad has allowed Steyn to push a single
    45.6
    0
    Anderson to van Wyk
    carefully defended away. Just soaking up all the tension and pressure
    45.5
    1
    Anderson to Steyn
    fuller here and Steyn mistimes a drive, hits into the ground and it loops up to mid-on, enough time for Steyn to hurtle a single
    45.4
    0
    Anderson to Steyn
    Anderson not daring full for Steyn this time, short of a length and Steyn strong in defence
    45.3
    1
    Anderson to van Wyk
    mighty effective stuff from an Wyk. Offered width he calmly steers a single to point
    45.2
    0
    Anderson to van Wyk
    full, much better, attacking the stumps. an Wyk jabs it back out to the bowler
    45.1
    0
    Anderson to van Wyk
    short, very short. Why I don't know but van Wyk swats it without much timing to midwicket
    44.6
    0
    Swann to Steyn
    no he doesn't and Steyn keeps him out. Almost there now for South Africa. Swann single-handedly gave England the belief they could do this but his work is done now. Looks like Anderson's reverse is the only threat now
    44.5
    0
    Swann to Steyn
    Steyn hanging back, just one more delivery for him to block away. Will Swann gamble with flight?
    44.4
    3
    Swann to van Wyk
    good signs for South Africa, backing themselves in the tightest situation. van Wyk aims a reverse-sweep through the newly-vacated slip position
    44.3
    0
    Swann to van Wyk
    van Wyk not trying anything against Swann here, just content to block
