[Cricket] South Africa v England, 2nd ODI, Port Elizabeth

[Titanic]

England one up in the series... are unchanged.

SA won the toss and batted.

Bit of movement out there for Willey and Topley... and he clean bowls Amla with an inswinger.

4-1 (3 overs)

 

[Titanic]

de Kock and du Plessis, after a very steady start, getting to grip with the slower conditions...

53-1 (10 overs)


England could do with a wicket

 

[Titanic]

Ben Stokes has got de Kock out!!!

They will review it but it looked plumb.

53-2 (10.4 overs)

 

[Beach Hut]

98/3

 

[Titanic]

Great captaincy, good bowling from legspinner Rashid and a tidy catch from Jordan at slip... the dangerous du Plessis gone!

98-3 (19.5 overs)

 

[Titanic]

SA 100-3 (21 overs)

Chasing 250+ will be interesting.

Morning Everyone , what a lovely day , feared that Katie may lose his place today , good to see he has been selected .

Morning Tay


The win probably helped him.... Interesting he hasn't bowled yet in the 25th over. Will he bowl at the death?

 

[Taybha]

Probably give him a couple soon then the last few i would of thought , he did take a good pasting from Quinten in the last game but that really was a help yourself wicket .

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I love the band at PE. Never been as good as a game 15 or so years go where they sung the Stand By Me soundalike song for ages but still sounds great.

Edit - found a vid but the game I remember was 10 times louder and better than this one.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Hey - now they are singing my tune.

 

[Taybha]

Katie finds the edge , the buttler never saw it , big miss that

 

[Titanic]

SA 201-3 (40.2 overs)

England might be chasing a stiff one here.

 

[Titanic]

OMG that is a great high catch from Jordan... very high, over his head, going away from him, on the dive and it is ABdV

205-4 (40.4 overs)

 

[Titanic]

followed by Duminy LBW to Topley... going down but no review left

206-5 (41.1)

Massive few minutes... should keep the total down to sensible proportions.

 

[Taybha]

Was a brilliant catch , wonder if the england set up have thought of him as a future Keeper ?

 

[knocky1]

This highlights the failings of ODI. I want SA to get near 300 to give us a decent run chase. Ridiculous.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Poor decision. Was probably out but not enough evidence to overturn the on field decision.

 

[Titanic]

Unusual review there... hard to tell if that was the bat or the ground but the 3rd umpire gives it.

Looked like a deflection but snicko unclear... and a very good low catch by Buttler.

225-6 (44 overs)

 

[Taybha]

Hmmmm cant give that out
