Not that it was entirely settled when Moeen Ali holed out off Ottneil Baartman in the 11th over and England needed 103 from 58 balls. A spirited stand of 78 from 42 balls between Brook and Liam Livingstone had kept England in the hunt right to the end, seamer Baartman losing his length and taken for a 21-run 17th over.
So much went back to de Kock’s mastery, a wicketless 63-run powerplay, and David Miller, 43 not out from 28, clearing the rope twice at the back end of South Africa’s innings. Otherwise their batters signposted the struggle on a pitch much changed from the two previous night games, not least opener Reeza Hendricks labouring to 19 from 25 balls at the other end before holing out off Moeen in the 10th over.
