Pitch Report
It's pretty warm out here, the good news is that there is no chance of rain today. Talking about the dimensions, 62m to my left and 67m to my right and 79m down the ground. It's the quickest outfield in the tournament so there's value for shots. A lot of cracks, looks very Australian in nature, it's not going to hurt the batters much. After dark, it turns more for the spinners. South Africa have already played here against Afghanistan so that gives them an advantage. It looks like a very good surface for batting, reckon Shaun Pollock and Ramiz Raja.
England have been found wanting in the tournament and already stand eliminated. With Buttler having stepped down from England white-ball captaincy, things look gloomy for them. Today will mark Buttler’s last game as England captain. Their lack of discipline in bowling is the major issue that led to their losses – first against Australia and then against Afghanistan. They scored a mammoth 351 against Australia. But, the Aussies aced the run-chase to perfection, recording the highest successful run-chase in Champions Trophy history with consummate ease. Against Afghanistan, the Englishmen were bossing the game initially with their seamers flourishing but come the middle overs and the death overs, their bowlers lost the plot. They came close in the run-chase but the Afghanis held their nerves when it mattered the most.

South Africa Seal the Win in Style! 🎉🏆
David Miller finishes it off in style! A slot delivery on off from Livingstone, and Miller launches it downtown for a massive six. With this victory, South Africa top Group B, while England's campaign ends in disappointment. Jubilation for the Proteas, heartbreak for England! Customary handshakes all around. 🤝
Klaasen Falls for 64! 🎯
A consolation wicket for England! Adil Rashid tosses it up beautifully outside off, and Klaasen, looking to go across the line, gets a thick outside edge. The ball lobs towards backward point, where Saqib Mahmood takes a safe catch. A fine knock from Klaasen comes to an end. Klaasen c Saqib Mahmood b Adil Rashid 64(56) [4s-11].

Jofra Archer to Rickelton, out Bowled!
A jaffa from Jofra! 🎯 He celebrates with a fist pump and a wry smile as Rickelton trudges back. Perfect length at 137.5 km/h, angling in from outside off before straightening late to beat the outside edge. Middle and off-stump rattled! England needed this breakthrough. Rickelton b Jofra Archer 27(25) [4s-5].
Score After 5 Overs: RSA 29-1
Rassie van der Dussen 6(11), Ryan Rickelton 16(14)
Rickelton and Stubbs are at the crease. Rickelton is on strike. Jofra Archer will open the attack
England Need a Miracle with the Ball!
Welcome back! England will have to produce a spectacular bowling effort to stand any chance of defending this low total on a flat deck. Tristan Stubbs opens for South Africa, standing at the non-striker’s end, while Rickelton takes the strike. Jofra Archer has the new ball in hand. Let's play! 🚀
England Crumble in Buttler's Farewell Game
The lowest total in this Champions Trophy 2025, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for England – in Jos Buttler’s last game as white-ball captain. The collapse began early, with Salt falling in the first over after striking a couple of boundaries. Jamie Smith followed soon after, mistiming a pull shot outside off. Brook and Root attempted a rebuild, but Root perished trying to take on Maharaj, triggering a further slide. A disappointing end for England in a crucial knockout game.
Mulder to Adil Rashid, out Caught!
A tame end to England's innings! Rashid tries to steer a length delivery outside off but gets a faint edge through to Klaasen. No real fight from England as their batting crumbles in CT 2025. Adil Rashid c Klaasen b Mulder 2(9).
Score After 37 Overs: ENG 175-9
Adil Rashid 1(4), Saqib Mahmood 2(7)
Score After 36 Overs: ENG 174-9
Saqib Mahmood 1(3), Adil Rashid 1(2)
Ngidi to Buttler, out Caught!
Chipped straight to mid-off! A struggling innings from Buttler finally ends. He never looked comfortable at the crease, and a slower off-cutter outside off does the trick. Tries to drive but gets a thick inside edge, lobbing an easy catch to Maharaj. With Buttler gone, England's hopes fade further. Buttler c Maharaj b Ngidi 21(43). Ngidi celebrates his 100th ODI wicket with a big smile!
Score After 31 Overs: ENG 157-7
Jos Buttler 17(32), Jofra Archer 17(17)
Score After 29 Overs: ENG 147-7
Jofra Archer 12(11), Jos Buttler 13(26)
Rabada to Jamie Overton, out Caught!
Ngidi takes a stunning catch! Overton looks to whip a length delivery but gets a thick leading edge. The ball seems to be clearing mid-on, but Ngidi sprints back, stretches out his left hand, and holds on brilliantly while falling. Overton is in disbelief, and South Africa celebrates as England sinks further. Jamie Overton c Ngidi b Rabada 11(20) [4s-1]
Score After 25 Overs: ENG 129-6
Jamie Overton 11(17), Jos Buttler 8(15)

Maharaj to Livingstone, out Stumped!
Reckless shot! Livingstone charges down, looking to slog across the line, but the ball dips and beats him completely. Almost yorked himself in the process. Klaasen does the rest with an easy stumping. A disappointing tournament for Livingstone with the bat. Livingstone st Klaasen b Maharaj 9(15) [4s-1]
Score After 19 Overs: ENG 108-5
Liam Livingstone 4(8), Jos Buttler 3(3)
Mulder to Root, out Bowled!
