Eng v Saffers

[deptfordmarmoset]

262/7 at the close of the innings. Achievable I think!

262 looks* like a good score to me. England need to remember that the pitch is not a belter.

*Actually, I'm not watching it, I'm listening to it. So I'm not sure whether Boycott has battered my critical faculties into submission.

Too many dot balls for my liking.

Touch and go most of the way. Till Buttler brought Tahir's to tears.... 3.4 overs to spare in the end.

Hmmm....I think England felt pretty much in control other than for a short spell after Hayles went. I don't think the rate ever went above 7 which for these guys is not much of an ask. Impressive performance

Very controlled run chase. However, using part time bowlers to fill ten overs doesn't help. They went for 90 odd in the first game and 65 or so today. The difference is possibly there?

England 318. Feels like 30 too many for Saffers

It didn't turn out that way, easy win in the end for SA.
