That won't work on this pitch. We'd be better off playing naturally. Someone will win this test.

 

Yeah . I agree , on the other hand ............

 

That's the end of Hales.

 

Poor shot or brilliant ball ?

I honestly don't know .

 

8-2 . Cook gone . Game over .

 

18-3...............

 

Anyone know a good rain dance

 

England all out for 101. Great we won the series, but shouldn't have lost the last game so dismally.

 

It's a bit like conceding a goal in the last second of injury time when you are 2-0 up. It's a slight blow to the pride but it matters not a jot. Actually I'm pleased for Rabada to get such great bowling figures, even if some of the wickets were handed to him on a silver tray with a starched napkin and a bunch of roses.

 

Some Saints fans enjoying themselves in the sun.

 

1st ODI v South Africa just started. England chose to bat....fast outfield....England 10-0 after first over.

 

112-1 after 15 overs. Root and Hales in. Roy is the player out.

 

Root bowled out for 52. England 227-3 after 30 overs.

 

73 ball century for Jos Buttler.

 

Buttler out for 105. Well played. England 317-5 42 overs.

 

England 399-9. Target 400.

 

Very close at the moment !

 

245-5 Still in England's favour, but close.

 

Rain stopped play. As it stands, England will win on D/L method.

 

Never in doubt.........
