00:00Two cricketers that know this ground very well.
00:12Going to be against the strength of the South African bowling unit.
00:17Marco Janssen, KG Rabada, Kwenema Parker, 19-year-old quick, left arm quick from South Africa as a huge future ahead of him.
00:26A lot of talent on show, should be set for a really exciting evening.
00:32Incredible strike, great, 164, goes very hard in the power play.
00:38Three, two, one.
00:43It'll be Marco Janssen with the first delivery.
00:50Toe into the bat, and it will just skip away, boundary off that first ball.
00:55He's always quick on to it, Phil Salt.
01:00Belted, make that three fours in three balls, Salt on the charge.
01:09That's up and over, will it go all the way?
01:12The crowd thinks so.
01:15Umpire might need to check it.
01:17Sean Pollock shouting six in the pod, I think he's right.
01:20And it won't get any easier, because Salt one end, destructive.
01:26And Joss Butler the other.
01:30And Butler's first ball goes to the boundary.
01:37Sounded brilliant off the bat, it was.
01:39Welcome to the game.
01:42Into length, back of a length, 88 miles an hour.
01:45And Joss Butler dismisses it over straight mid-wicket.
01:52Down the pitch.
01:54Back-to-back sixes for Butler.
01:56Quite wonderful from Butler.
02:01Helped, just helped on its way.
02:03This is a superb start from England.
02:11Picks up length so well.
02:14All good to great players of spin do that.
02:17Well, the 50 up, 50 partnership, 53.
02:21Went early there, Butler, with one intention only,
02:25and that was to belt it down the ground.
02:27Dropped at long off in the crowd.
02:29Again, it's too much on-off stump.
02:37And it's going to be a similar result.
02:39It is.
02:43Dragged over long on.
02:45Way over long on.
02:47Butler moves to 41.
02:50In just 15 deliveries.
02:57Mid-on, underneath him.
02:59And that's another boundary.
03:0249 in 17, Butler.
03:10Pulled, another boundary.
03:12That's the third fastest half century for an England batter.
03:16His 50 coming up in just 18 deliveries.
03:20Remarkable batting.
03:21With six fours and four sixes.
03:24Pace off, but Fuller.
03:28This goes further into the crowd this time.
03:32Brings up the 100 for England.
03:34And the fifth six for Butler.
03:39A leg side, and this has plenty on it from Salt.
03:43John 14.
03:50Well, he's gone slower and slower, and this has gone higher and higher for a six.
03:56That's it.
03:59Before this time goes leg side.
04:01Both fielders, just watch it, go all the way for six.
04:05On the sweep this time.
04:10And the man taken.
04:12Good catch.
04:14Booze in the crowd.
04:15They have been treated to a Joss Butler special.
04:19South Africa eventually get their breakthrough.
04:22Yeah, brilliant innings.
04:24Brilliant innings comes to an end.
04:2683 of 30 deliveries.
04:31Well, continues to go leg side.
04:33Looks as if it's split the fielder.
04:36Oh, it doesn't matter.
04:39Well, it goes Yorker again, but dug out really well.
04:43From Phil Salt.
04:44That boundary will bring up his 50.
04:48Phil Salt.
04:48In just 19 deliveries.
04:51He has looked.
04:52In fine, fine touch.
04:54Back at the top of the order for England.
04:56In seven fours.
04:59Ball this time.
05:01The strike sounded good.
05:03Is good.
05:06This is incredible.
05:12Oh, leg side again.
05:14This appears for back-to-back boundaries for Salt.
05:17Hit hard and hit straight.
05:22And again down the ground for another four.
05:29Well, flicked away.
05:31And that will be another boundary.
05:34Down the ground now, Bethel goes.
05:38Bethel goes.
05:39That one sounded good.
05:40That one sounded good.
05:40Is good.
05:414-6 for Jacob Bethel.
05:43Doesn't matter where your fielder is for that one.
05:45Beautiful strike down the ground.
05:47And Markram's woes continue.
05:48And again, sounded pretty good as well.
05:54Another six.
05:554-6-6 to end the 12th over.
05:58So 19 from it.
06:00England closing in on 200.
06:02And they've got eight overs still to go.
06:05Should be two as the fielder has to turn off.
06:14Turn and throw off balance.
06:15They do come back for two.
06:16Oh, no.
06:17No, no, no.
06:18He's not overstepped.
06:20He has.
06:20Goes from bad to worse for South Africa.
06:23It was a good bit of bowling.
06:25Slower and wider.
06:26But a clear.
06:27No ball.
06:28Free hit.
06:32And it's hit sweetly.
06:33Beautiful shot into the crowd.
06:38200 comes up for England.
06:40They're 202 for one.
06:42After just 12 overs and one ball.
06:49Yes, it is.
06:51Whacked away leg side.
06:52The boundary is defending.
06:54Salt will scuttle back for two.
06:56That is a simply breathtaking hundred.
06:59And it's a record for England.
07:00Quite stunning.
07:04Hole of Old Trafford.
07:06Rise to their feet.
07:07Phil sold a huge smile on his face.
07:09Fastest international T20 hundred for England.
07:17And he's gone down the ground.
07:19Donovan Ferreira.
07:20Marco Jansson.
07:20Takes the catch.
07:24So Bethel's innings comes to an end.
07:26Bright and breezy.
07:2726.
07:28Doing the right thing.
07:29Trying to keep the foot down.
07:34As Bethel goes.
07:36The 26.
07:38Well, Yorkshire and England's Harry Brook gets a lovely reception from the good supporters of Manchester and Lancashire.
07:49There is an attempted wide Yorker.
07:51Pass point.
07:52And to the boundary.
07:53First one for Brook.
07:54There is that fall over scoop he's added to his repertoire this summer.
08:05Bottom hand straight.
08:07And pass Rabada to the boundary.
08:11There is that fall over shot again.
08:13It's gone a long way up.
08:15Down breeze.
08:16And the breeze helps it go all the way.
08:18That sounded better.
08:30He's just gone through a few deliveries where it didn't sound great off the bat.
08:35That was like the first half of his innings.
08:41Scoop.
08:42Leg side man out there.
08:44No.
08:45And maybe yes.
08:46I think he could have done that.
08:48They'll check it.
08:50Salt looks at the umpire.
08:51But they will check that.
08:54Why not?
08:57Yeah, I've got contact on the boundary rope while the ball's still in hand.
09:01I've made my decision for the big screen.
09:10That's half stopped.
09:13He did well there.
09:14But he's going to have to give chase.
09:17It's a pretty impressive recovery.
09:18He is a youngster.
09:19He's got energy.
09:21He's very athletic as Quenna Mopaka.
09:23And that's not a good sign.
09:25My word.
09:29No balls.
09:29Picked up.
09:32Picked up.
09:32Shoveled away.
09:34Six more.
09:38Wow, this is quality.
09:39Now single brings up one of the biggest cheers of the evening.
09:47300 for two.
09:50An evening of incredible ball striking by this England batting line-up.
09:56Outstanding.
09:57Phil Salt 140.
09:58And to rub salt into the wounds again.
10:03It is a free hit.
10:05No ball.
10:05So into the bat.
10:10Remember, he can't be out apart from run out.
10:12That's why the fielder lets the ball drop.
10:17Short and hit out to the man in the deep.
10:19They should just try and run back for two.
10:21They do.
10:22And Harry Brook will get home comfortably.
10:26What an innings that has been from England.
10:28What an innings that has been from Phil Salt.
10:34304 for two.
10:36Phil Salt on his home ground.
10:38Runs off.
10:40Not out to 141 in just 60 deliveries.
10:45Incredible hitting.
10:47Yeah, listen to the applause.
10:48And so it should be.
10:49This has been a mighty fine innings.
10:51One that the people at this ground will remember for many, many years to come.
10:55Brilliant striking.
10:57He takes his bet to the full 20.
10:59And he gets the highest individual score by a comfortable distance.
11:04Yeah, very much a newborn specialist.
11:06Luke Wood brings the stumps into play early.
11:08Looks to beat it for pace.
11:09Full and straight.
11:11Markham will be aware of that right-handed batter.
11:13It is the stumps that are the worry.
11:16Deep square leg.
11:18And that fielding position we've seen a lot of.
11:20The deep backward point.
11:26A record chase.
11:28And that's that movement.
11:30Yeah, when there's nothing's changed.
11:32They're still giving South Africa just the 1% of winning.
11:34Flicked.
11:38In the air.
11:39And six.
11:41How good is their timing?
11:43How good is their timing?
11:49Good finish.
11:50South Africa trying to push for two.
11:51I think they're going to get it.
11:53They found the gap.
11:54Off the mark.
11:59Quite wonderfully.
12:01Down the ground.
12:02Might be the first maximum.
12:09That has landed.
12:10Sean Pollock's feet.
12:12It's got a bit of mud on it.
12:13But that is the way to start the third over.
12:15Aidan Markham has cut loose.
12:17And that's beautifully played.
12:21Four more.
12:23Four more.
12:24Markham on the charge.
12:25And he has that intent.
12:30Quite wonderfully powered down the ground.
12:34Or leg stump line.
12:35But Markham knew it was coming.
12:36But it's towed it in the air.
12:38And Archie puts it down.
12:40Couldn't locate it.
12:41Twisting and turning.
12:42Yeah, for Archie.
12:43It was one of those ones.
12:44He decided to turn rather late.
12:46And you can see with the spinning.
12:48He didn't get his eyes on it.
12:49He tried to back step pedal for the initial part.
12:52And then he turned.
12:53And once he turned and it came over his shoulder.
12:55It was too late.
12:57Oh, pulled.
12:59And pulled handsomely.
13:02Into the hotel.
13:03It's into your room, Brodie.
13:05Or is that Morgz's room?
13:06Which one?
13:07Brilliant.
13:10Well, powerfully struck.
13:12Rickerton not moving.
13:13Not running.
13:14Because it's six.
13:18Goes back of a length.
13:20But hit in the same direction.
13:22Powerfully again.
13:22Same spot.
13:24Ow.
13:24Tell you what.
13:25If you want to see some striking.
13:27You've got to record this match.
13:28And watch it over and over again.
13:29Both teams are putting on an exhibition.
13:34Out.
13:35Brilliant catch.
13:38Liam Dawson.
13:38I think it is at mid-wicket.
13:40Archer went back of a length again.
13:42And Rickerton just may be done for pace.
13:44England have the first.
13:47Rickerton goes for well played 20.
13:4950 for one.
13:51Comes in Andre Pretorius.
13:53Highly rated young player from South Africa.
13:56Oh, in the air.
14:01Luke Wood underneath it.
14:04Caught.
14:05Oh, she celebrates.
14:0574 miles per hour.
14:12Pretorius still thinking leg side.
14:13Where maybe he should have been thinking off side.
14:16Good take in the end.
14:17And to dive forward, it would.
14:19Pretorius goes for two.
14:2153 for two.
14:21Off the bowling of Joffre.
14:23Evil Brevis.
14:24With his first delivery at Cardiff.
14:26What will he go to now?
14:27There's the firepower that Brevis possesses.
14:31Pace on.
14:33And beautifully timed.
14:35Finds the gap between backward points and cover.
14:40Oh, short.
14:41In the air.
14:42Joffre Archer underneath it.
14:44England have the third.
14:45Sam Curran does the trick for England in his first over once again.
14:49He's picked up the wicket of Deval Brevis.
14:51It's not the same delivery.
14:52It was a banging delivery.
14:53A little bit of extra into it.
14:5585 miles per hour that time.
14:57Brevis goes for four.
14:58South Africa now.
15:0058 for three.
15:07Throw that one back, please.
15:10Oh, that's enormous.
15:11That's up onto the camera gantry.
15:13One of our lads will have to throw that.
15:15Back.
15:22Well, that's gone high.
15:24And may have gone far enough.
15:26No, it hasn't.
15:28That's a huge wicket.
15:30Will Jacks with a safe pair of hands underneath that.
15:33Skyer from South Africa's capturing.
15:36And it's the wily old fox that's Adil Rashid.
15:39That gets England's fourth.
15:42Markham plays well for 41.
15:45Pick length so quickly did Tristan Stubbs.
15:52And he's powered that away for six.
15:57Well, that's been hit powerfully over extra cover.
16:00And that will go away for four, despite Sam Curran in hot pursuit.
16:07So's that.
16:07This man has immense power and that is cannon off the windows of the point and down into the crowd below.
16:16Those that are watching on that balcony almost oblivious as to where it hit the window.
16:21It's shot down.
16:22Well, that'll race away for four beats Luke Wood.
16:28So this is an encouraging over.
16:29And it's Ferreira that's doing the damage.
16:32Oh, drives it into the pitch.
16:36Donovan Ferreira drives it back over his head and drives it for four.
16:39Butler gives chase.
16:45Sam Curran's already celebrating because he knows Butler's not going to drop that.
16:50He uses his bounce so well.
16:52That's another wicket with it.
16:54Sam Curran mixing it up.
16:56A welcome return to England Colours for him.
17:00And then he does.
17:02The dangerous Ferreira has to go.
17:04One monster, a six.
17:05Goes for 23.
17:07Current.
17:08Two for 11 from two.
17:12In the air.
17:13And has Joffre taken at the second attempt?
17:16He has.
17:19It's been superb tonight.
17:21Joffre Archer takes his third.
17:26Janssen goes for naught.
17:28Zafka in real trouble now.
17:29116 for six.
17:45Goes to that man we are talking about.
17:47Joffre Archer.
17:48A big smile on his face.
17:51He has been in the action with wickets and catches.
17:56Stubbs goes for 23.
18:02Seven down.
18:07Pulled.
18:08Fielder didn't see it there.
18:09He lost it in the lights for a while.
18:11Sam Curran.
18:11Down the ground.
18:18Rubada who is expensive with the ball.
18:21Trying to have some payback here.
18:25Now he plays the big slog sweep.
18:27And that goes all the way.
18:33Goes across his stumps.
18:35He's mixing it up really well.
18:38Two slog sweeps for six.
18:39Two reverse sweeps for four.
18:45Yet again another ball goes.
18:47Ariel.
18:48And a simple catch.
18:49From Joffre Butler.
18:51Will Jacks.
18:53Just a couple of deliveries into his spell.
18:55Picks up a wicket.
18:56Good striking from the South African.
19:01Spinner comes to an end.
19:02158 for eight.
19:06Straight on the reverse sweep.
19:08Cover.
19:09Taken.
19:11Two and two from Will Jacks.
19:15And Parker without scoring.
19:16158 for nine now.
19:18In the air.
19:23Joffre Archer again.
19:24Taken.
19:26Archer seals the victory.
19:29England's largest ever victory.
19:31In T20s.
19:33They have been superior.
19:35On all fronts.
19:37Firstly.
19:38With the bad in the form of Butler and Salt.
19:42Absolutely extraordinary.
19:45Records tumbled.
19:46England win by 146 runs.
