FOUR! Nandre Burger to Jos Buttler. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. England have set the stage with a mammoth total! The top order gave a rock-solid foundation at the start with an opening partnership of 59. Joe Root and Jacob Bethell then stitched together a masterful partnership, each scoring a century. Towards the end, Jos Buttler unleashed a flurry of boundaries with a rapid-fire half-century, adding the perfect finishing touch. Corbin Bosch and Keshav Maharaj picked up two wickets each for the Proteas. Can South Africa pull off a thrilling chase and seal a clean sweep? Or will England snatch a consolation win to end the series on a high? Join us in 30 minutes for the run chase.
