England tour of South Africa

[Arthur Crabtree]

Denly's knock is one of those whose value really depends on the result.

[mikesiva]

England 258-8

Denly 87

Shamsi 3-38

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woakesy turning this around. Great asset down the order.

Good first five overs too.

SA need to choke to lose this from here. Parkinson not having the impact of Shamsi.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mike's going to enjoy posting an update later.

Hundred for QDK too.

Feels like an England performance of the early teens.

[Arthur Crabtree]

QDK goes to Joe Root.

Root has better figures than Denly and Parkinson.

I guess Jordan is there for the death. But there isn't going to be a death.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bavuma goes for 98. Talk nah note remains stuffed in pocket.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Taking their bleedin' time getting there.

[Arthur Crabtree]

SA go 1-0 up, again.

[mikesiva]

Bavuma goes for 98. Talk nah note remains stuffed in pocket.

South Africa 259-3

De Kock 107
Bavuma 98

[Arthur Crabtree]

Archer won't be going to SL due to injury.

Cricinfo predicts England will be unchanged tomorrow.

Reserves are Moeen, Mahmood, Rashid, Malan.

[Durhamfootman]

well, they were warned often enough about breaking their new toy

I guess that means that Woody will have to keep bowling 30 overs a day instead..... I'm sure that will go well

Start delayed by heavy rain in the second ODI

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still raining.

[mikesiva]

It will be 45 overs a side.

Fortuin in for Ngidi, whose recovery from injury has to be closely managed.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cricinfo predicts England will be unchanged tomorrow.

They were right.

[Arthur Crabtree]

More rain. Not looking good.
