Short and wide, cut away for 4.

Series level at 2-2 going into final game.


England thrown it away with poor fielding yet again...
 
Woakes was brilliant for us with bat. Without his stand we were toast.

Great effort to get back so close there

He also ran out de Villiers.
 
Deciding game today.

England posted 237 - Hales getting 112 of them, middle order falling apart again!

England started well though, SA are 22-3. Should be a good game.. hard to decide what to watch, this or all the football <yikes>
 
These two have steadied the ship. Need to get them both out quick or SA will walk it.
 
Amla & Budweiser now gone...

70 needed with 5 wickets to go. Need to get AB our though
 
I think it's still easily sa if they just hold station and pick shots.

188 for 5 after 37.

That's 13 overs to get 49 runs.

Easy..... if they don't chuck a silly wicket.
 
Moeen just served up a couple of dolleys... successive 6's.

30 from 60 with 5 to go, easy SA win now. AB might just go mental and score 20 from this Rashid over and pretty much wrap it up.
 
SA win comfortably.. 2-0 up in the series and we lose 3-2 <doh>

Still, year n bit ago we'd have lost 5-0 so small steps.
 
Final t20 game today.

Root looked good before getting out in the deep. Butlers looked in good form. Roy &Morgan look like they don't know how to hit the thing at the moment.
 
My slagging off of Morgan has worked.... Couple of big sixes <ok>

Now watch him get out as I've praised him.
 
Butler goes to a rank wide one.. Next ball, Morgan gone after bowler deflects stride ht drive onto back onto the stumps <doh>
 
157-3 turns to 160-7 <doh>

Morgan and Butler looked like getting us up to 200, now be lucky not to be bowled out!
 
A trouncing. Even if Morgan and butler had stayed in and got us close to 200 still would have been hammered. Bowling was terrible.
