The Super 8 match between England and South Africa is turning out to be quite an interesting affair with South Africa fighting back in the second half with regular wickets. Rabada first got rid of Phil Salt and then Keshav Maharaj got the big breakthrough by sending back Jonny Bairstow in the 7th over. Anrich Nortje was the one who took a brilliant catch and the momentum changed after that wicket.

It was the fifth delivery of the over and a short one outside off. Bairstow went back and cut it hard uppishly towards right of the point fielder. Anrich Nortje though showed excellent reflexes and dived full-length to grab a stunning catch.

Earlier, South Africa scored 163 while batting first with Quinton de Kock scoring 65 and Miller contributing at the backend with important 43 runs. Archer took three wickets for England, and whichever team comes out on top in this game, will take a big step in grabbing that semifinal spot.
