Fantastic knock from Morris to win it though.

Set a fairly low target, but could have won it. Still 2-2, now onto Sunday.

Yep. Credit where it is due. Momentum with SA now.

Still think we will win on Sunday. Even with a low target, we nearly won.

I agree. We bat a lot further down than SA, and players like Root and Buttler are virtually unstoppable when they are on song. We just have to get Morris out!

England all out for 236 in 45 overs. Not good enough probably (certainly?). Have to make sure we hold onto catches this time. Also got England in the rugby and footie of course. Sofa Sunday coming up.

Brainless !!! Not over yet , but SA's to lose now !

2 wickets in 2 balls from Topley. Game on!

Please reproduce this in a Hampshire shirt Topley, particularly in Championship cricket. At such a young age, he's pretty much England's no.1 limited overs bowler already.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Need to keep them from scoring so they have to take risks. Otherwise they can coast to such a low target.

 

[st_brendy]

Don't you dare take Topley off Morgan, not until he's pretty burnt out or starts leaking runs badly. On fire.

 

[tomw24]

I'm really looking forward to seeing Topley in a Hampshire shirt.

I knew Morgan would take him off an over or two too early...

 

[st_brendy]

Adil has a lot of making up to here. It's largely thanks to him that this series isn't already wrapped up in our hands.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Looked exciting for a while.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

131-3 :-(

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Stupid game anyway.
