[alfie]

Even livelier second over ! He can hit the ball , this lad

Hope the England boys are watching . Not that I'm altogether sure they'll be able to do much about it...

[Durhamfootman]

He's giving it a right go.

he certainly is.... and it's the right approach too.... pile the pressure on the bowlers... get them to bowl as much dross as they diod on Friday

apart from anything else the SA players will have been damaged by England's chase, so if Afghanistan can find a way to give SA enough rope, they may very well hang themselves

[Arthur Crabtree]

RRR under ten.

If Afghanistan lose (which they're gonna) it might damage their performance v England, being out the competition.

[Aidan11]

Ah well.

Good knock that.

[dan08]

That will probably be it although they've still got a few good hitters.

[Aidan11]

SA still have a problem with wides.

[mikesiva]

Shahzad out for 44...at least he gave it a go.

[Arthur Crabtree]

A SA giving an associate a verbal volley as he walks off is surely a bit embarrassing.

[alfie]

Shazad gone ...alas. Was quite enjoying watching that.

Do they have anyone else who can keep it going ? Not that I'm seriously expecting them to reach 209 but I'd like to see a chase...

don't forget, England probably wouldn't have chased it down without the 20 wides that SA bowled. No damp today, but pressure will do the job just as well, which is why Noor is doing his team a real disservice here...

and there you go, it brings the wicket of the danger man.... frustration at being stuck at the wrong end, probably

[Arthur Crabtree]

England batted second in the late game, which seems to be a big advantage, which isn't the case in the early game. In fact, if the pitch is slow, it's going to be better to bat first.

Gulbadin to come will give it a go. Some great knocks against Zimbabwe.

Still don't expect them to get near.

I reckon all verbals after dismissing someone are embarrassing. Sort of weak too ; as the fellow who's out really hasn't any possible response.

Don't mind a bit of chat while the play is live ; but you should shut up once you've got the wicket.

[mikesiva]

Stanikzai out to Morris...that's a big wicket in the context of the game.

Spot on.
