ends up not costing SA much as Hales is out a couple of deliveries later

root was looking very good again but gets out in probably the worst way possible, run out backing up after the bowler getting a fingertip onto a straight drive by morgan onto the stumps

92/3. Two wickets falling very soon one after other. Saffers are back in the match.

He was looking good , wasn't he ? Ah well ...best to get the "really bad luck" dismissals out of the way before the Main Event starts .

On the other hand , Stokes is surely using up his good luck ...

50 partnership between Morgan and Ben. Slow SR but partnership was what England needed.

england will still fancy getting 320-325 from here

Root hardly ever fails does he. But given that, maybe he should score big more often.

Over seven an over for the last five overs, so pushing on well.

Buttler out of form too.

He played well in the IPL, unlike Roy.

Things should be set up for him when he eventually gets
in today. Maybe a day to get him back in runs ?

buttler looked dangerous in the IPL but got a couple of horrendous decisions in games and then they changed the team once they knew they had qualified for the playoffs to take account of Buttler not going to be available

would still like to see him get some runs today or monday tho

Bad luck for Morgan to miss 50 after coming so close.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat May 27, 2017 1:29 pm

Fifty for Stokes though. Responsibility on him to bat through now Morgan is out.

Ball tampering?

I was wondering if I was the only cynical fellow with such a suspicion

Certainly the umpires were fussing about for a while there and SA didn't seem happy at all. But no ball change...
