00:00Welcome to Match 11 of the ICC Champions Trophy, South Africa versus England, live from the National Stadium, hosting its
00:06final game of the tournament.
00:08Joss Butler then has won the toss today, England will bat first.
00:15Yes, just.
00:17Also a change of wicket-keeper for South Africa, Ryan Rickleton kept in the last encounter.
00:24Up and over, that is how Phil Salk plays, any width and he'll go after it.
00:28First boundary for England.
00:33Down the pitch, shoveled and just half a hand maybe.
00:39Short ball, it's gone straight up.
00:42Van der Doosan at mid-wicket.
00:46Two boundaries and a wicket in the first over, Salk's gone.
00:50Yeah, that's been really pleasing for Marco Janssen.
00:52I don't think his rhythm is anywhere near where he wanted it for that first over.
00:56Van der Doosan launched himself, couldn't take hold of that one.
01:00But this is an easy catch for Van der Doosan.
01:02The extra bounce, he so often does people with his extra bounce, he's a hell of a tall fella.
01:07And an easy catch, maybe just had to worry a little bit about the sunshine, did Van der Doosan.
01:11But after a fast start, full start, Phil Salk has thrown it away again.
01:15South Africa have the breakthrough in the first over.
01:18England, nine for one.
01:23Nicely shovelled.
01:27Again, this time all along the ground, through square leg, four more.
01:33Edged.
01:35Didn't carry.
01:37Don't think the keeper could have got across.
01:44Oh, same again, surely.
01:46Same again, this time mid-on.
01:48Would you believe it?
01:49The left arm are going across the right-hander, pulled up in the air.
01:53It is a replay of the first wicket.
01:55The ball pitches, you think that's easy to pick up and take over the leg side.
01:59But by the time the ball gets to you, it's probably half a metre further on the offside.
02:04And the extra bounce is hard to control.
02:06You can't roll your wrists.
02:08Both balls popped up in the air.
02:10South Africa will be ecstatic.
02:11Lost the toss, asked the ball first.
02:16Gone fine.
02:17A little bit of shape there.
02:21Wait.
02:22Gets through.
02:24This is a very quick outfield.
02:26It's just been tapped.
02:28It goes all the way to the boundary, but the fielder does well.
02:31Oh, no.
02:33Run out chance.
02:36He didn't do well.
02:37It was very naughty from Lungingidi.
02:42Too straight.
02:43Again, cannot bowl there to Ben Duckey.
02:45You see they're trying to keep it off.
02:49Brook is away with a punch to the offside behind backward point.
02:52And he hit that hard.
02:57Oh, that's a beautiful shot.
02:59That is classic Joe Root.
03:03Slightly over pitch by Marco Janssen.
03:05England bring up their 50.
03:10Oh, just evades the man at square leg.
03:14And Root hits another fine boundary.
03:18Short cover.
03:20Oh, great shot.
03:22Harry Brook using his feet.
03:26Root's got that.
03:28Fielder out there.
03:29Over his head.
03:31Bangs into the metal stanchion.
03:33Pings back onto the ground.
03:35Six.
03:40Beautifully placed and timed.
03:42The wrist work got that into the gap and away for four.
03:45And Lungingidi didn't look comfortable chasing after that.
03:51Oh, that's nicely played by Joe Root.
03:53This is what we're talking about.
03:55He's got all the shots in the book.
03:57Sideways to the ball.
03:58And then that's gone up in the air.
03:59Will this be taken?
04:02It's going to fall safely.
04:03Oh, no, not really.
04:05What a catch that is.
04:07That is a massive strike from a fellow who's about eight feet tall.
04:11Massive wings.
04:13And he held on to it.
04:15What a day he's having.
04:16Wickets and this great catch.
04:18This is unbelievable.
04:19Really is terrific catch.
04:22That is such a long way down for Marco Janssen.
04:27This stage, Harry Brook thinks, I'm in trouble.
04:31Then he thinks, no, actually, I'm going to get away with this.
04:35And that is so good.
04:37The distance he had to cover to get there.
04:41Brilliant from the big man.
04:44And Harry Brook and his tournament come to an end.
04:4719 from 29.
04:49England, 99 for four.
04:54Got him.
04:56Mulder gets rid of the dangerous Joe Root.
04:59England lose two and two.
05:05Just a bit of a wobble scene.
05:07Didn't do that much.
05:09Just played around it.
05:13England's in-form batter.
05:14They've had two in this tournament.
05:16Duckett and Root.
05:17They've both gone.
05:18And England in Boda on a good pitch.
05:21103 for five.
05:22Root made 37.
05:28Both wicketkeeper and Slip were quick.
05:35Gone.
05:37Tossed up.
05:39And his run up and had to kind of look up and then try and find it.
05:43It was so high up in the air and so slow.
05:46And Livingston missed it completely.
05:50He almost had the time to get back, actually.
05:53He didn't turn around and running back.
05:56Oh, dear.
05:58That's a horrible shot, that, from Livingston.
06:00Beautiful bit of bowling from Maharaj.
06:03Floated it up invitingly, but Livingston advancing and then just got to the position where he yorked himself and hacked
06:10across the line.
06:16Nicely played.
06:18Just a fraction short from Maharaj.
06:23Favour or overlooked as that gets chipped in the air.
06:28An excellent catch.
06:31Diving away over his left shoulder.
06:34Terrific catch.
06:36Watch the ball.
06:38This is what he's done as he's run.
06:41And you watch Lungangidi as he goes here.
06:44Never takes his eyes off it.
06:46And then stretches every sinew to get it.
06:51And in the end, it's the left hand that gets there.
06:54And the smile on Robana's face tells you everything.
06:58Another wicket down.
06:59It's an overton gone for 11.
07:01England, 129 for 7.
07:11That's punted away for 4.
07:18Nicely guided away.
07:20And that will be 4.
07:27Miss field.
07:29And that's racing away to the boundary for 4.
07:31Brings up the England 150.
07:33153 for 7.
07:352, 3, 8, sort of stadiums.
07:37That's gone over the keeper's head for 4.
07:41He's going at a good pace, Archer.
07:47Good catch.
07:48Another good catch from South Africa.
07:51And it's that man Jansen again.
07:53That's his second terrific catch in the outfield.
07:561 at long on that at mid-wicket.
07:58Archer trudges off.
07:59England 8 down.
08:03Well, it helps when you're 6 foot plenty.
08:06And they've got long arms.
08:10Being a big man, he's actually athletic as well.
08:13He did well to get down, move smartly to his left.
08:16Very different type of a catch from the earlier Skyer he took in the deep.
08:21But still a very good one.
08:23And Joffre Archer has actually looked in pretty good touch with the bat.
08:26He's had too much opportunity with the bat.
08:33Chipped it to mid-off.
08:37At no point really had Butler really timed the ball like we know he can.
08:42But he's timed that one all right.
08:43But he's hit it straight at mid-off.
08:44A skimmer.
08:46England imploding.
08:479 down.
08:50I don't know whether it was a slow ball because indeed he bowls a great slow delivery.
08:58Harmless delivery.
08:59And a very good catch at mid-off.
09:02No problem whatsoever.
09:06England continue to disappoint.
09:089 down.
09:09Gap is done for 21 of 43.
09:13173 for now.
09:18Something, something on there.
09:20A little edge.
09:22And Veernmolder gets a third.
09:29England bowled out for 179.
09:33And so South Africa make it through by virtue of bowling them out for just 179.
09:43Into the semifinals.
09:47It's the lowest total in the Champions Trophy this year.
09:57179 all out.
09:59England 37 from Root.
10:02Butler 21 and 25 from Archer.
10:05Duckett looked dangerous for his 24.
10:07But wickets kept on falling.
10:09And in the end it was a race against time for England.
10:14Starts with a wide.
10:16Now that's been kind of case in South Africa's first innings also with the ball.
10:21They were all over the shop.
10:25Yeah, nicely timed.
10:29I just went through with the shot.
10:31It wasn't intentional.
10:34Ball in that one.
10:36Got big on the right-hander.
10:38A soft dismissal in the end.
10:40Hit the spice of the blade and hit the stumps.
10:43The fingers were off.
10:49Yeah, wonder if he was just trying to run this down to third.
10:57Tristan Stubbs.
10:59Yeah, but it's...
11:02Beating him really is not in control at all.
11:05And it goes off the face and onto the stumps.
11:07He's gone without scoring.
11:10It's 11 for 1.
11:14And a shot by Ross.
11:15You can know this one.
11:17Just laying back on it.
11:18A bit of width.
11:20The ball a little earlier.
11:22That's hit hard into the gap.
11:23No need to run for that one.
11:24Once again, classically played.
11:31Yeah, a nice shot once again on the pads.
11:33And the ball will win the race quite easily in the end.
11:36And this is such a good beginning now from South Africa.
11:44Quick hands through.
11:45Point for four.
11:48Oh, hurts this.
11:54Over-pitched and drilled by van der Dossen down the ground.
11:58Very straight played.
11:59He met the ball with the full face of the bat.
12:05Did well there.
12:06Because Archer is round the wicket.
12:08And the angle is all in to Rickleton.
12:10But somehow...
12:13Oh, got him.
12:14It's the angle again from Archer.
12:17That is a really good comeback.
12:19Having been cut away to the boundary of the ball before.
12:21This time round the wicket.
12:23And nipping one back through Rickleton's defence.
12:27Yeah, by the reaction of Rickleton,
12:30he came to suggest that maybe it didn't balance as well.
12:32As much as he was expecting.
12:34Let's have a look where it was pitched.
12:36Yeah, that's kind of back of a link.
12:38It does stay down and go underneath the bat.
12:41He probably would have middled it if it would have bounced a bit more.
12:43But not the case.
12:46Geoffroy Archimato said, wow, the ball before.
12:49Rickleton says, wow, how did I miss that?
12:51And it's going to my bet.
12:52He's gone for 27.
12:53Nasty play.
12:5447 for two.
12:59Nice start, that is.
13:01When you've not had a hit for over a week.
13:04What a beautiful push through the offside to get off the mark.
13:10Fine for four.
13:12Sakib just...
13:18Good shot.
13:20Jamie Overton.
13:22Shorten has been popped away.
13:25Klaassen.
13:30Muscles with the way.
13:31It's racing to the boundary.
13:33It'll reach the boundary for four.
13:34So well timed behind Rick Klaassen.
13:39He's got that final race to the boundary for four.
13:44Now, what a cracker that is.
13:46Probably the shot of the day.
13:51Short arm jab.
13:52Wow, that's powerfully struck.
13:56Wide of the crease from Overton.
13:58And that's beautifully timed, beautifully placed.
14:00This is absolutely top-notch batting.
14:07Punched away.
14:07That's about as good as it gets.
14:09I'm not sure we've seen a better shot today.
14:13Oh, and again.
14:15This is just as good.
14:16It's a mirror image.
14:17This is brilliant batting.
14:20What a 50.
14:21What a way to bring it up.
14:24Yes, fantastic to watch.
14:27Right from the off.
14:28When he first came in.
14:33Slammed away leg side.
14:35Time brilliantly.
14:36The power takes it away from the fielder.
14:43Cut this time.
14:44So, the full range.
14:46He's got a little bit of time yet to bat.
14:50That's another four.
14:52Two men catching.
14:57Well, bopped down the ground.
14:59And that has gone a long way from Funderdussen.
15:02So, he's had enough of just prodding and poking around.
15:08Well, watch.
15:09Well, watch.
15:09That stayed a little low.
15:10He's watched it.
15:11Timed it brilliantly.
15:12Runs are really flowing now.
15:1350 for Rassi Funderdussen.
15:16The 150 comes up for South Africa.
15:18They're winning this at a canter.
15:23Well, that's still hit me.
15:25And it has been hit.
15:28And it's been hit all the way for six.
15:34Shot.
15:36Struck really well.
15:39By Rassi Funderdussen.
15:44May have three balls to answer that question for me.
15:47I reckon that could go to the boundary.
15:50So, ten needed.
15:51Well, the obvious candidate,
15:53the man who did it towards the end of last summer for England,
15:56is Harry Brook.
15:59Up in the air and catch taken.
16:02Trying to smash it out the ground to finish the job off.
16:05It's Klaassen who's gone.
16:08After a quite scintillating innings.
16:11He hit 11-4s.
16:12No maximums in his innings.
16:14And he was trying to end off in style.
16:16Trying to smash it out the ground.
16:18And if he had his way,
16:19he probably would have smashed those wickets.
16:20Because he wanted to be there.
16:21He wanted to get the job finished.
16:23Giving lots of air.
16:25Throwing right up.
16:2672 miles per hour.
16:27Klaassen's head just falling over a touch
16:30as his eyes lit up and thought,
16:31this is the one that can disappear.
16:34Rashid gets a wicket on the evening.
16:36And a wonderful innings.
16:37It's good to see him back playing.
16:38Good to see him getting runs.
16:40Henry Klaassen 64.
16:42174 for three.
16:46Bang!
16:48Thanks for coming.
16:49By South Africa.
16:51Who qualified by bowling England out for 179.
16:56They've gone on to get the victory.
16:59They win by seven wickets.
17:00So the summary then of this final Group B game.
17:05England winning the toss and batting.
17:08179 is all they could get to.
17:11Thanks to South Africa's really good bowling performance.
17:16Marko, congratulations to you.
17:18Three for 39 and two wonderful catches.
17:21First up though, congratulations to South Africa.
17:24What does it feel like to be in yet another ICC semifinal?
17:27Yeah, obviously it's a good feeling.
17:29Boys work very hard.
17:31Easiest, it's not the easiest conditions from a bowling point of view.
17:35And even though it suits batting a bit more, it's still not easy to bat 50 overs and get good
17:40totals on the board.
