England v South Africa ODIs, 2017.

[rich1uk]

both wickets today have fallen to pretty poor deliveries

[rich1uk]

poor shot from root, that bouncer was way too high for him to be trying to pull

[Aidan11]

Score not looking too clever now.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not a bad position really. The ball is getting old. Good pitch. Plenty of batting left.

[Aidan11]

I fear a mini-collapse is in there somewhere.

[Aidan11]

I remember how poor we were over the winter.

[rich1uk]

fine balance atm between keeping the run rate up against the "lesser" bowlers without losing more wickets

cant really afford to let Duminy bowl cheap overs

[yuppie]

Morgans lifted the tempo well

[rich1uk]

Morgans lifted the tempo well

he's played well again today

we've had a few starts today, could do with Morgan converting his if we are to get 320+

[yuppie]

If these 2 can stay together for 10 overs then England should be looking good........

Just as i type

[rich1uk]

need that batting depth now with being 5 down and still 15 overs left

[yuppie]

Morgan needs to be there for the next 10 overs if England want 300 plus

[meninblue]

Good partnership between Moeen and Morgan.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid can score quickly and Plunkett can hit at the end, so a bit left. Preferably one of these can get to the end though.

since the start of 2016 Woakes averages above 40 at a s/r of better than a run a ball as well
