It's hard to quite know how good this South Africa side is. They're team may not be packed with global superstars and they struggled in the pre-tournament Tri-Series, but Temba Bavuma's men thrashed Afghanistan in their first game. A testing match against Australia was unfortunately abandoned due to rain, so the likes of India and New Zealand will be keen to see their form on Saturday.
Not that a match against England will prove much of a barometer. A sorry run of white-ball form saw them lose their eighth game from nine in this calendar year against Afghanistan on Wednesday. It's hard to imagine how this won't be Jos Buttler's last match as 50-over captain, so he'll be eager to go out with a win.
Can England restore some pride, or will South Africa beat them to progress through as group winners? Below is the information you need to live stream England vs South Africa and watch cricket online or on TV.
