Pretty nerve-racking to watch the end of that one. The game was so full of mistakes I can't help feeling that neither team deserved to win.

A very fair assessment, Gina. Both sides are evenly matched, though both made a number of mistakes. Still what an incredibly enthralling game with so many twists and turns. England's middle order once again failed to show up. Morgan and Moeen Ali can't buy a run at the moment, and then England's fielding and catching woes once more came back to haunt them. I will be glad to see the back of Chris Morris. Deary me, he single handedly has won two limited overs matches now thanks to his brilliance at the end of an innings. What a spell from Tahir, too. He was just about unplayable at times.
My only negative from this match, whoever thought it was a good idea to ring that alarm at the fall of every wicket. My ears!

I also have to agree that both teams were fairly matched in that game, but sadly not in a good way. They was both rubbish!
Mistakes can be made in any game, fair enough but when both sides are just playing poor shots, bowling poor overs and look tired and lethargic in the field like these two did, it's worth asking what's the actual point of playing T20's if neither team look like they want to be there?

and that's a thumping victory. What a turnaround in this match from when England were 157 for 3.
They then lost 7 for 14 before being flayed by AB de Villiers. Hashim Amla was all class, too,
and it's a proper shellacking England have suffered :-[

Terrific confidence-boost for them ahead of the World T20
- they have three T20s against Australia still to come this season before heading to India

It was great stuff from AB and Hashim, but I still can't quite work out how England collapsed so badly.
The commentators were very critical of England for selecting an extra batsman on a pitch that's supposed to be batsman friendly. He didn't help their cause too much either.

two players were drugged and robbed of i-pads, iPhones, clothing, jewellery and cash
following a birthday celebration for two members of the squad.
Not very hospitable in Port Elizabeth
