Ah, Saffie choke like mama used to make.

Very good last over by Wood it has to be said.

Not sure it was the best of overs but it did the trick. Placement let SA down there, two or three of those shots were inches from doing it.

Well done England. Definitely in a better position than us. In ODI cricket. Players know their roles and finding ways to win.

Imagine been a South Africa rugby world cup winner, teams had serious backbone, they must be disgusted watching the cricket lads constantly choke.

Yep I've criticised Wood and I'm still not convinced but that was superb. The C word will come out yet again, and you have to say that was rough from SA last over. However you can't ignore the preceding 4.

Its a good point but. There were 3 middled straight to fielders in the last 9 balls but still frustrating.

Extra pace of wood and lack.of composure more so from Morris. But I guess he has won games before but will have to learn that if you can't hit a boundary then at least get a 1

We should probably not have got as close as we did, those last 2 overs from Ball was terrible. Behardiens innings looking even more truley awful. And except for Rabada none of the other pacer covered themselves in any glory.

@ SeamUp who have we got in the SA 'A' team to call up ? Jason Smith?

What is wrong with these chokers? Such promising lower-middle order batsmen can't get 9 in 9 balls! Pretorius and Phehlukwayo were waiting in the hut too.

I had a feeling that Mark wood do it. It's funny how when bowling well, some runs like 7 in the bank usually is better for the bowler than having 12 in the bank. The batsmen think that they don't have to do anything extravagant, that they will just get home. And by the time time they go "oh ****", they are already in dire straits.
