Even Morkel can't stem the flow for AB... 6 off the over... England 191-2 as the strains of Bon Jovi echo round Bloemfontein.

Free hit for not having four fielders in the ring... almighty HEAVE from Buttler... and it's bowled him of the inside edge and pad :laugh:

Marvellous stuff if you also like watching Basketball.

Who would want to be a Bowler these days?

A decent one... like Morne Morkel...

33.6 Morkel to Morgan, 1 run, short ball, again taking some of the pace off, Morgan paddle-pulls to deep square leg - just three singles off the over
33.5 Morkel to Morgan, no run, slower ball, waits for it on the stumps, deflected towards backward point... "No!" is the call
33.4 Morkel to Buttler, 1 run, length outside off, Buttler calmly strokes one more through the covers
33.3 Morkel to Morgan, 1 run, dug in very short and Morgan has to up periscope in order to pull through backward square for one
33.2 Morkel to Morgan, no run, nearly plays on! Skips out to try and go down the ground, thick inside edge on to the pads and it rolls just past leg stump
33.1 Morkel to Morgan, no run, over the wicket, fullish outside off, mistimed pushing towards cover

Morne Morkel back on for Morris

Here comes Ben Stokes...

Buttler and Stokes together at the crease. Like a young Yardy and Montgomerie...
