1st Match - England v South Africa at The Oval

[Borges]

Ah! ATVG Moeen Ali! This is what I've been waiting for.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm not loving Buttler getting out

 

[stephen]

340 still on the cards for England but they'll need some luck. 320 more realistic.

 

[Burgey]

Surely Ali gets the **** bounced out of him here.

 

[MW1304]

This has been kind of a nervy innings. Not going to do the trick in this competition.

The graphic just now showed England winning 2 of the 10-over 'phases', with the other 2 being drawn, suggesting that at the 40 over mark England were ahead.

I reckon that's off the mark. South Africa well ahead here keeping England to just about 6 RPO in 42 overs, especially with the big wicket if Butler just now.

320 is very chase-able here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He hasn’t got the runs at all today

Absolutely. It hard for him to get any.

He has returned.

Haven't seen a single bumper so far.

This decade, a score of about 320 has been defended around 80% of the time. It's a good score.

 

[weldone]

What's the difference between kissing the ball and tickling it?

Kiss is an expression of love, tickling of annoyance.

 

[stephen]

SA really applying the screws here. Which feels odd given England are on 259 with 6 overs to go.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kiss is an expression of love, tickling of annoyance.

Ah great answer

 

[stephen]

Ngidi has been fantastic this spell.

 

[thierry henry]

I fully appreciate how much the ODI game has changed, but y’all are acting like 300 chases itself lol

 

[wpdavid]

That really was a piss-poor innings by Moeen. Almost Broadesque in his decline lately.

 

[StephenZA]

Keep this up boys. Another nice catch.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Faf with a dapper of a catch

 

[morgieb]

Sharp catch that. SA favourites now.
