But this is on the back on a 4-0 drubbing against the Aussies, and at a time when there is genuine concern for the future of international test cricket.
Going on tour for months on end is a huge commitment, while the financial rewards for one day cricket globally are huge. There is a concern...
There should have been a run out in the first over, Malan dropped one at second slip and there's been an edge between the slips, so England creating chances.
It's a shame the ground is practically empty and the was no one there to witness a great bowling display.
This match is yet another nail in the coffin of test cricket. It will be over inside 2 days.
