Wood should be out of the attack after first two balls above waist height.

Tim Curran and Wood smashed around the ground in their overs. SA 48-0 4 ov

41/1 de Kock holes out

Moeen Ali's got de Kock out

Just as well too... Wood took an absolute battering, going for 20 in the 4th over.

54-1 (5 overs)

CJ goes for 14

68-1 (6 overs, RR 11.33) after the Power Play

 

[Easy 10]

I was genuinely confused, wondering where on earth in East London this was being played, and why

An East London in South Africa. Who knew ??

97-1 9 ovs

Looks like England will be chasing over 200

Suddenly 3 down, still must post 180-190?

 

[The Wizard]

Poor catching technique from Roy

The area in and around East London is where "Cry Freedom" was set. Donald Woods worked in East London and Steve Biko was in King William's Town which is about 40 miles away.

2 wickets from CJ at the start of the 20th... England really have pegged SA back here

 

[Titanic]

SA 177-8 (20 overs)

Magnificent final over from CJ... 5 runs, 2 wickets and a run out.

Superb final two overs from Wood and CJ. Just 8 runs and 4 wickets. Puts England right back into a game that has threatened to run away from them earlier on.

We need 178 which is quite possible and achievable.

We will know if it's possible and achievable today by the time we get to 7 overs in. We will need a solid 10+ an over from the off in order to get the momentum to get to 179. There will be some good overs for the Saffers, we have to make sure we can keep our heads when we have a couple of low scoring overs.

22 runs off one over by Roy including a dot ball

No-one prepared to comment on the end of this run chase then?

150-4 with 3 overs to go they shirley can't cock it up?

EDIT 152-5 Yes they can....

England's reply very similar to South Africa's innings

I have abstained from commenting for the now obvious reasons, only one way out now, club it or die
