Fantastic reply by England

SA look like England in the field

Morgan must be feeling better after asking SA to bat and 229 on the board

Jason Roy justifying his ongoing inclusion as well

England win! As Nasser said, made 229 look relatively easy but the final run was near impossible.

phew , they didn't make that easy at the end

incredible performance with the bat to win that game

just shows what can happen when your openers go out with real intent and put pressure on the opposition , even the best around can let it get to them

off topic , there was a funny one from michael owen during last nights football

he said something like "coutinho gets an early opportunity to open his legs against daley blind"

some of the bowling did deserve bashing darren , they looked like they couldn't handle the pressure the SA batsmen were putting on them

even if we dont get over the line here they deserve credit, a year ago this wouldn't have been a competitive game
Not disagreeing with that about the bowling. I can't, the stats show that. But how many people said England had lost before they even started ? Hope they never get called up for jury service, they have a verdict before we hear both sides

how much money would you have put on us winning that between innings ?

Very little haha but what a fabulous performance even if the last over was a bit jittery. What a day. Australia didn't manage what seemed a reachable total and England reach a huge one. It just shows how unpredictable cricket can be sometimes and how much effect the wicket has.
