Super 10 Group 1: England v South Africa at Mumbai

Battle of the Beards n Amla favour , so far  :-[

128 - 2 after 11

great over by Adil !

Given the junk from the seamers so far, if I were Morgan, I'd roll the dice and give Root an over. Spinners have provided more control than the seamers so far.

Ali to Amla, OUT, struck in front - and given! Moeen was bowling round the wicket, fired it in full

and Amla's run without being dismissed comes to an end

Amla  lbw b Ali 58 (31b 7x4 3x6) SR: 187.09

Rashid and Moeen finish their spell after 13 overs

What now ?

139 - 3

Morgan agrees.

Root , of course  :

Morgan lack Tactics : hold 2 overs from your real spinners

152- 3 after 14

Containment required !


13.5  Root to Duminy, FOUR, four more, the tap is turned on again!

13.4  Root to Duminy, FOUR, hello, we've missed you. Alex Hales misfield at long-on,

he basically ran past the ball. D'oh!

England's fielding has been atrocious throughout this tournament. The only thing that makes this tolerable is the dulcet tones of Pommie Mbangwa.

166 - 3 after 15

Final Five with FaF and JP.

England need wickets from Willey and Stokesie
