Set a target to win of 178, England were supremely confident of winning this match In East London (S. Africa) and the runs put on in the first ten overs turned that into a near certainty.
However, extravagant strokes from the middle and lower middle order allowed South Africa back into the game.
In a passionately exciting finish, England were pipped at the post to lose by a single run!
England will look back with deep regret to instances of poor fielding on their part when the home side were batting.
