3rd T20I between South Africa and England - South Africa set a total of 222, some spectacular hitting by the South African batsmen and a difficult total to chase down. 🏏

Watching the 3rd T20I 🏏 between South Africa and England, the final and decisive T20 match of England’s tour of South Africa. I have really enjoyed this series, the Test matches, ODIs and T20 games have all been competitive and entertaining to follow, both on TV and radio (unexpectedly because coverage was on TalkSport rather than BBC TMS).
