Not sure they'll be able to rebuild this fiasco. Handy for a quick few when there isn't much pressure, but that isn't what they're facing today.

Nice of England to try keep the series alive ahead of Cape Town.

Could have been at Wanderers today, my friend had a ticket for me. But my mother selfishly decided to have a birthday this weekend so taking her out for dinner tonight.

Oh I wonder what the score in the cri-

Well

If we can bat out the overs from here we should post something we can bowl at, at least. Quite a big if though.

 

[Woden]

England showing the value of batting deep... most sides would have been out the game.... SA almost definitely...

They are still in this game, after I had practically written them off....

 

[turnstyle]

I wonder if the ball travels further at altitude. The commentators haven't mentioned anything.

I've still got them written off. They need a Joe Root shaped miracle to get to a competitive score, here.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is gun.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Nibbled that, IMO.

 

[Compton]

I think Root has just reviewed this because he realises that England need him to not be out.

Edit: never mind, he's hit it.

Shot, Adil.

Root is amazing.

England have a never-ending batting lineup!

 

[Compton]

Roooooooooooooot

 

[Stace]

Roooot! Great knock yet again.

 

[MW1304]

Where would we be without Root. All formats.

I don't think it matters what we get from here, I doubt anything under 300 would be enough. This middle order performance makes it look like Taylor would be a nice plug in there somewhere.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Woakes never quite makes a telling contribution with the bat does he? Looks nice to 20-30 and gets out.
