    Unless we take wickets early and steadily, the target may not be enough. However, a big enough target to make the WI unsure of whether to really go for it or play a steady game.

    85-2 at 10 overs. ''Poised'' is the correct term I believe.

    Ok gayle in that form is the closest thing to unstoppable in this format but I can see us doing nothing with that bowling attack; nowhere near enough quality for this level

    SA scoring at over 13 an over and no wickets down....might as well read a book. We're out of this.

    This could be a spectacular run chase from England!

    Losing a wicket going for it in the power play is not a disaster.

    Now England need to consolidate, play sensibly and put away the bad balls.
