While England won the Test series, South Africa came back dramatically to win the ODI series after going down 2-0 initially. We have now reached the final leg of the tour and probably the most important one considering the T20 World Cup is all set to be staged next month. Both sides will look to fine tune themselves ahead of the mega tournament. AB de Villiers will continue to open the batting which can have a huge say in the game. Where will England play Moeen Ali after slotting him at number 7 in the ODIs. Will he get a promotion? We will know the answers shortly.

Big news coming out of Cape Town is that Quinton de Kock won't be playing today. The young left-handed was in fine form in the ODI series but the Proteas are not taking any chances since he has a slight niggle. AB de Villiers will keep wickets today. England have named a full strength side as well.

Playing XI:

South Africa: Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers (WK), Faf du Plessis (C), JP Duminy, Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, David Wiese, Chris Morris, Kyle Abbott, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Thair

England: Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (C), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (WK), Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, David Willey, Reece Topley

England openers began with a bang but Kagiso Rabada has made the important breakthrough by getting rid of Jason Roy for 15. Joe Root is out in the middle and Alex Hales is yet again looking good for a big score.

It is that man Imran Tahir once again who strikes in his first over and what a wicket this is! The in-form Alex Hales top edges a sweep and Duminy almost collides nastily with Rabada while taking a fine catch. And then in the very next over, Joe Root is dismissed in tame fashion as he hits one straight to point. The Proteas are on top! Morgan and Stokes are out in the middle.

This is trouble for England. They have lost their fourth wicket and it is the dangerous Ben Stokes who has been dismissed. Credit to Imran Tahir who bowled a well-disguised googly after being hit for a four and a six. He is stumped by de Villiers and out comes Jos Buttler. England in need of a partnership.

Tahir is on a roll here. This is pretty poor from England and especially this from skipper Morgan as he misreads a googly and ends up offering a catch to short third man. His miserable form continues and off the very next ball, he dismisses Moeen Ali for a golden duck. He almost gets a hat trick as the ball just misses the off stump. Jordan survives but how much longer can England survive?

England will be really disappointed with that performance after the whirlwind start they made. Imran Tahir is the star of the show with his 4-wicket haul that absolutely sank the away side. South Africa should chase it down easily but a couple of early wickets and you never know what can happen in this format.

Well, the move to keep him on top didn't work this time! He has been scratchy since ball one and has finally perished to Chris Jordan in the 5th over. England needed that wicket, SA haven't scored heavily in the powerplay, so a few tight overs could really set this match up nicely.

He definitely has the golden arm doesn't he? Strikes in his first over and now the Proteas are in a spot of bother as they have lost both the openers. Amla goes for 22 and South Africa now need exactly 100 more to win. Duminy joins Faf in the middle.

Halfway through this run-chase and the match is well poised. South Africa need 74 runs off 10 overs and they are still favourites to win this contest but their batsmen haven't been able to break free. Can England strike again to apply the brakes?

Well, England are not going down without a fight and this is certainly a timely strike by the leggie Adil Rashid. Duminy tries to clear long on but fails in his attempt. Rilee Rossouw walks in next at number 5. Miller is still in the dugout.

Moeen Ali is swinging this contest towards England here! Two wickets in two overs at a crucial time and South Africa have their task cut out in the last 15 deliveries to chase this down.

Chris Morris you beauty! He has done it again for SA when the match looked dead and buried. The Proteas needed 15 off the final over and Abbott took a single off the first ball. Morris then struck a four and a six which was then followed by a dot ball. He then took 4 runs off the final two balls to seal the win. SA lead 1-0. Terrific finish!
