South Africa vs England live stream: Watch ICC Champions Trophy online (it's free)

Ryan Rickelton of South Africa celebrates ahead of South Africa vs England.

If you can see beyond the dusty fallout of the latest English white-ball crisis, South Africa vs England is tinged with a note of jeopardy. The Proteas are heading to the knockouts as things stand, but it's not a done deal and they'll want to secure their spot in positive fashion at the Karachi National Stadium.

The match between Afghanistan and Australia was suspended on Friday, meaning Australia are safely through to the semi-finals. And thanks to their dominant, NRR-boosting victory over Afghanistan in their opener, the other spot is the Proteas' to lose.

It's worth remembering, amid the inquest, that both of England's defeats were down-to-the-wire thrillers, and in Jos Buttler's last game as captain, his teammates will be treating this like a final.

Here's a quick guide to how to watch the South Africa vs England live stream from anywhere and for free.
