[BensGrandad]

We need to stand up and be counted today.

South Africa: 1 Quinton de Kock (capt, wk), 2 Temba Bavuma, 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 Jon-Jon Smuts, 5 David Miller, 6 Dwaine Pretorius, 7 Andile Phehlukwayo, 8 Beuran Hendricks, 9 Bjorn Fortuin, 10 Tabraiz Shamsi, 11 Lungi Ngidi.

England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Jonny Bairstow, 4 Eoin Morgan, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Joe Denly, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Tom Curran, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark Wood

De Kock wins toss and decides upon an INSERTION (best get that out of the way first thing).

What time does it start ?

 

[Easy 10]

4pm

 

[BensGrandad]

Still no Malan do they not learn from their mistakes.

 

[Titanic]

Morgan is a useless tosser... England are batting.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would have brought Malan in either for Denly or Buttler and put Bairstow behind the stumps.

 

[The Wizard]

Buttler

 

[BensGrandad]

Buttler

Perhaps he should have been the one to make way for Malan.

Jon-Jon Smuts is my favourite cricketer's name since Farokh Engineer.

Sightscreen stuck, delay

 

[The Wizard]

Pretty average start from England, 24-1 off 4 overs on what looks a very good surface.

55-1 after 6 make you feel happier?

Bairstow is hitting out, doh now bowled out

 

[jakarta]

Oh bugger, these pair were looking at 200, crucial Morgan hangs around to the death overs...

 

[The Wizard]

Amazing how a totally nothing bowler like Pretorius is so hard to get away, just by varying his pace a lot.

 

[BensGrandad]

Apparently the highest ever successful run chase here is 158 for 4 hopefully we will set more than that.

The wicket looks pretty slow.

 

[Beach Hut]

Appalling fielding by SA, no wonder he got the de Kock glare

 

[The Wizard]

Stokes really does over complicate things at times doesn’t he early in an innings, he’s such a strong bloke you wonder why he tries to do all this reverse sweep and switch hitting style stuff.

Slogs for six
