RR going up a bit, but well in range.

Moeen back immediately. I'd expect a few overs of spin anyway unless they get hammered , just to ensure some flexibility for the latter overs .

Think if de Kock stays in SA will get the runs ; but if he were to fall soon I fancy England to defend . Not to discount the rest of their bats but it seems to take new batsmen a while to get settled today and they haven't got that much leeway.

i almost always take QDK in any FLs SA are in, took Amla instead this time after how good he had looked during the IPL :no

Could do with another two overs of Stokes.

Ball hasn't really done anything today, wonder if Willey will get a run out on Monday

by **rich1uk** » Sat May 27, 2017 5:47 pm

every time i change over to the football a wicket falls, maybe i should just watch it

Moeen gets the Big Wicket :clap

Bad luck for de Kock missing his hundred : good bowling from the bearded one .

England favorites now though by no means a done deal yet. Time for some Root spin...

Just at the right time for Mo as he was keeping SA up to the RRR. Credit to him for the intervention. It's saved his day's bowling.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat May 27, 2017 5:54 pm

Still think a chasing side should win from here. Just not clear if SA middle order is strong enough.

by **alfie** » Sat May 27, 2017 6:01 pm

RRR now north of nine . Miller does look dangerous ; but chasing at this rate tends to mean there is always the chance of wickets disrupting the scoring.
Root doing a job : nearly at the point where the pace men can bowl out , without calling on Stokes again.

I wondered if Rashid would be risked again in hopes of more wickets ; but it seems not...

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat May 27, 2017 6:04 pm

I'd give Rashid a couple...

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat May 27, 2017 6:07 pm

Not going to happen now. Though giving Ball ten is pretty risky. Rashid surely more likely to get a wicket.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat May 27, 2017 6:09 pm

Good over from Mo.

I think I'd have been inclined to bowl him - at least for one - but suspect the time to do so has now passed. After this one from Ali it appears Morgan will just use the three quicks : and if it does the job I guess no one will complain.

Can't help feeling it would have been a good time to test Rashid in a situation...

Still very much alive , this game.

Another one for the excellent Plunkett :clap

Miller still there though. He's the key for SA now.
