England vs South Africa 1st ODI at Headingly

[jakarta]

Why no thread?

107-2 in the 18th, Buttler and Stokes etc. to come - Shirley 325 is minimum?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I had no idea this was on, just found out when they reported the score on the news. Needless to say, Sky 2 is now on my tellybox. Oh, how I've missed those Northern vocal tones of Bumble. My summer starts here.

 

[CHAPPERS]

With that batting line up, yes. Shame Hales decided to have a go at a new bowler first ball up, he could have gone on for a big score on that pitch.

 

[GOM]

Root gone - 122-3 (21.4)

 

[BensGrandad]

With that batting line up, yes. Shame Hales decided to have a go at a new bowler first ball up, he could have gone on for a big score on that pitch.

Do you put Hales and big score in the same sentence? Isnt 50 - 60 his usual high score.

I am at the game. I didn't think it ever got this warm in Yorkshire!

162-3 - stand by my prediction of 350 unless Buttler & Stokes are still there in the last 5-6 overs and they go for it...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

162-3 - stand by my prediction of 325 unless Buttler & Stokes are still there in the last 5-6 overs and they go for it...

Morgan looks in good nick, which is important.

It's a rumour the Yorkies put about to keep outsiders away

It's true. I was watching cricket at Sewerby on Sunday and Hundall on Monday evening and I'm sunburnt. It's currently about 25 degrees and glorious here in Sheffield. Mind you, the coldest I've ever been at a cricket match was at the test the other year at Headingly v NZ. Grim.

Wickets being given away here.... Buttler now.

 

[jakarta]

All depends on Morgan staying in now...

254-5

 

[banjo]

What's a good score here??

And Moeen hitting a few sixes!

 

[banjo]

Morgan ton up. Well done son.

 

[jakarta]

Think my 325 is bit light...

 

[Badger]

339/6

Six off the last ball of the innings

 

[the right footed denilson]

Batting Mo! (And Eoin)

 

[Marshy]

Should be able to defend that..... famous last words..

 

[Triggaaar]

Should be able to defend that

Really - against SA?

Only one or two of them need to get in and yes that might be a modest total, but lets see how many overs & wickets are down around the 200-230 mark...
