Morgan,Trott put England back on top

Choosing to bat,the visitors raced to 50 without loss before Graeme Smith was bowled by Anderson for 18. Dernbach revitalised the hosts attack,claiming the key wicket of Amla who was bowled off an inside edge. De Villiers made 28 before chipping Tredwell to deep midwicket and five balls later Faf du Plessis was bowled for one by Ravi Bopara.

Elgar was deceived by a slower ball from Dernbach that crashed into his off stump and Wayne Parnell departed in Dernbach8217;s next over for 13. JP Duminy misjudged Tredwells delivery and was caught at long off by Bell for 33,before Anderson polished off the tail with three wickets in eight balls,ending the innings with 20 balls to spare.

England lost both openers Bell and Cook and Bopara early in the chase,but Morgan and Trott gradually put England back in control. Morgan was caught and bowled by Peterson in the 38th over and Trott went soon after,but by then England were home. The fourth ODI of the five-match series is at Lords on Sunday.
