6th Match - England v South Africa (18th March)

[Howe_zat]

I wonder what the longest partnership is in internationals with no dot balls. This one's up to 35 balls without a dot.

 

[Pratters]

****ed it.

55-45 now in SA's favour imo....one wicket can still change the game dramatically...next 2-3 overs may decide the game one way or the other

Edit: And gone ...75-25 now imo

 

[Spark]

Ah, shame. Would have been funny as ****

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Game on!

 

[LightningStrike]

Typical England................just a few balls left of Tahir and that.

Still..........plenty of batting................game still on.

 

[YorksLanka]

England to get over the line for me..
Edit, just realised I am watching on playback so only at 14 overs..

 

[Scaly piscine]

Grrrr only had to get through this over really and England had it under total control. Third umpire should have reminded them it should be a wide.

 

[LightningStrike]

What is it with England and spin?

Hit a boundary FFS!

You feel as though they should have seen him off? Maybe left a few alone with 10 an over still needed?

That non-wide call has cost England 1 run and 1 ball. Which is pretty big in this situation.

TMS saying it brushed the pad now.

 

[91Jmay]

SA fielding could be the difference between the sides. Then again the amount of wides they have bowled is astonishingly bad.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[grecian]

C'mon Moeen, just play sensibly, give the strike to RToot, don't go mental.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh my days. I made an involuntary noise about that shot

 

[BeeGee]

Decent bat is Rooty.

 

[indiaholic]

Loving this from Root.. Head and shoulders above very good players.

 

[91Jmay]

Whatever happens can't give them **** for this. The stones to bat like this is great.
