England pulled off the second-highest run chase in Twenty20 international history to stun South Africa and get their World T20 campaign back on track.
Chasing 230 in Mumbai, Joe Root struck a composed 44-ball 83 after Jason Roy blitzed 43 from 16 deliveries.
England lost two wickets in the last over with the scores level before Moeen Ali sealed it with two balls to spare.
South Africa earlier posted 229-6, with Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy all making half-centuries.
For England, it was an excellent reply to a crushing defeat by West Indies in their opening game.
