Good start to the 3rd over...

2.1 Abbott to Roy, SIX, now it's Roy's turn...takes a couple of strides down the pitch and clobbers a length delivery over midwicket with a beautifully clean swing of the bat. Caught in the crowd!

2.2 Abbott to Roy, FOUR, short outside off and this gets slotted through midwicket along the ground this time, Roy dragging the ball with a pull shot

:clap2:

Decent start, with clouds overhead, and rain earlier in the day...

England 45-1 (5 overs), better from Radaba and Morris

Duminy dropped Hales at deep cow off the last ball.

Hales gone... skied a sweep off Tahir... 53-2 (7 overs)

Duminy did really well to hold on to that despite Rabada crashing into him... ended up as a perfect rugby tackle.

And Root follows... cutting at Wiese

53-3 (7.1 overs) not looking good after such a great start.

Ali gone first ball :nono:

Driving uppish to short point.

Tahir on a hat-trick... Chris Jordan strides to the crease... 81-6

Amazing googly though the gate... just clips the pad and over middle stump... lucky boy Jordan!

1 run 2 wickets off that over

81-6 (13 overs)... from 52-1 after 7.

Dire. :nono:

106-6 (16 overs)

Jordan's four to fine leg was special... quick and short ball from Morris, not looking at it, ducking, random waft, top edge :laugh:

Horrible mow from Jordan to midwicket... caught at the 3rd attempt... 108-7 (16.3)... this is pretty poor stuff.

NSC is right to show utter disdain for this pantomime cricket.
