Brook will be aware that his job isn't quite done yet.

A golden dot ball and Sam Curran has denied the single to Jofra Archer. Anrich Nortje misses his mark and serves a full toff over middle and leg, Sam Curran does get cramped up a bit and ends up heaving it straight to deep mid-wicket.

That should do it for South Africa and that's brilliant bowling from Anrich Nortje. Goes pace on and nails it in the blockhole around off. Sam Curran hangs deep but can't get under it and only jams it out to mid off for a single. 8 needed off the final ball.

That's it, South Africa have done it! Anrich Nortje hits the deck hard and bowls it around middle and leg, angling it in with pace on.
