*** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

Tbf that wicket reminded me of Stokes hitting Rabada around Newlands too, right up until the moment someone caught it.

May as well go watch that instead now

Didn't know you weren't allowed to catch someone on the boundary in cricket anymore

Tbf he tried another Newlands special but wasn't good enough to pull it off this time. 100% for INTENT though.

England making a hash of a good position. Don't think the last two wickets were much to do with the bowling.

Roy and Buttler have been a bit of a concern recently. Something to prove in the tournament, anyway.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm surprised Duminy has bowled so much, especially in one spell. No one that Morgan would rather face IMO.

Phelukwayo definitely the pick of the bowling so far.

Always my issue with Moeen as a 'finisher' way too many dot balls.

 

[Howe_zat]

Moeen starting to earn his coin now. But I wish he was better at working the field given his position in the batting order. Despite going high risk and clonking sixes he's still only striking at 80.

Some nice batting from Ali on that over.

 

[91Jmay]

Time to go now, these two have done well but we need 320+ as a minimum here.

 

[91Jmay]

Gew on the beard.

 

[Howe_zat]

They've played Tahir really nicely, I know he's a bit rocks or diamonds but knocking him out of his comfort zone early usually has a say in which he'll be.

Gun partnership now. Will have at least a good score, 50+ off the last five would make it an excellent one.

edit: beard to be feared!

 

[vogue]

Good over from England.

MOWING Ali

Is 320ish going to be enough?

 

[91Jmay]

Not going to labour a political point but it is great to see Moeen shining for us. Brings a tear to my eye

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is 320ish going to be enough?

OK 350ish

 

[Heboric]

Poor bowling, you know you are bowling **** if Ali scores a fifty against you

 

[Tec15]

Some garbage bowling changes today.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yar!

 

[91Jmay]

Saffer fielding been very meh today. Should be looking at 340

 

[vcs]

England are a machine at racking up these big scores these days.

Yeah we have a ridiculous record batting first scoring 300 over last couple of years.
