England v South Africa: Captain Andrew Strauss wins the toss and opens the batting for England in Centurion, with a win likely to see them through to the semi-finals
Strauss and relative new-boy Joe Denly give England's innings an early impetus with a selection of boundaries off fast bowlers Wayne Parnell and Dale Steyn
The tournament hosts are soon celebrating as Denly is caught by JP Duminy off Jacques Kallis, Strauss follows, caught brilliantly by Mark Boucher, and 48-0 becomes 68-2 after 15 overs
Despite having to duck a beamer from Albie Morkel, Owais Shah makes 50 from 63 balls as he and Paul Collingwood nudge the run rate past six per over
Collingwood joins Shah on a half-century (from 56 balls) in the next over and the partnership reaches 105 (from 117 balls) with a driven six from Shah
Though he and Collingwood hit six sixes between them, Shah suffers a moment's hesitation on 98 (from 89 balls) and bat-pads one straight up for Boucher to collect, England 222-3
Likewise, Collingwood can't hold on for his century, playing on from Parnell on 82. Luke Wright and Ravi Bopara soon follow, for eight and one, respectively, as England try to hit out in the last overs
South Africa's hopes of fighting back when Shah and Collingwood depart get absolutely knocked out of the ground by Eoin Morgan, who makes 67 from 34 balls before being caught by Graeme Smith at cover
Stuart Broad is clean-bowled by Parnell only for England to add another 13 runs in the next over, taking their score past 300, and they finish their 50 overs on 323-8
Smith and Herschelle Gibbs open for South Africa, scoring 37 from the first six overs without loss, and held in check more by England's fielding than bowling
There's delight in the field when Gibbs knocks one down the throat of Wright, off the bowling of James Anderson, and the run-rate drops to roughly four-an-over
Morgan, who took over wicketkeeping duties after Matt Prior fell ill before the game, congratulates Stuart Broad after the paceman has Jacques Kallis caught on the boundary by Denly
Smith is living a charmed life - Morgan misses a clear stumping off the bowling of Swann while Owais Shah drops a simple chance in the covers - and the South Africa skipper makes England pay
Smith brings up a magnificent century - his eighth in one-day internationals - and with the skipper in such determined mood the match is heading for a thrilling finale
Controversy arises when Smith, struggling with cramp, asks for a runner but Strauss refuses and sends AB de Villiers back to the pavilion
The missing stump tells the story - Anderson, bowling quite superbly, sends Mark Boucher packing and South Africa are 230-5 off the first ball of the 41st over
Different batsman, same result. The excellent Anderson rearranges Roelof van der Merwe's stumps and England are closing in on a place in the semi-finals, as long as they can get that man Smith out...
Shah makes amends by catching Smith in the deep for 141 and England go on to complete a 22-run win and knock the hosts out of their own tournament
New Zealand v Sri Lanka: With both sides desperate for a win, New Zealand rack up 315-7 from their 50 overs, with Jesse Ryder smashing 74 from 58 balls despite being injured
Martin Guptill also makes 66 before Lasith Malinga skittles him looking for a big shot, the bowler's only wicket in an innings where he goes for 85 off his 10 overs
Sri Lanka are on target with the run-rate, 132 off the first 24 overs, but lose the vital wickets of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara, and Sanath Jayasuriya
Nuwan Kulasekara makes an unbeaten 57, with Mahela Jayawardene hitting a top score of 77, but Sri Lanka are all out for 277 at the Wanderers, Johannesburg
Skipper Daniel Vettori, named man of the match after scoring a vital 48 and taking two wickets, congratulates Daryl Tuffey after the paceman takes the final wicket to clinch a crucial victory - but both sides can still go qualify for the last four
