However, the Protean bowlers continued their brilliant form on the field as they reduced England to 100/7. Just after reaching 100 on the scoreboard, a brilliant catch from Kagiso Rabada helped the Proteas get their eighth wicket as they neared another victory.
While Lungi Ngidi bowled a brilliant short ball, outside off, Willey sliced it off and Kagiso, who was stationed at mid-off, came in, dived and managed to pull off a brilliant catch.
