    the run rate required is in around 10 thats going to take some great batting (but not unacheivable). hopefully it goes to the wire. some of the catches in this tournament have been insane!

    Fantastic catch on the boundary earlier in this game, saved a six and managed to catch it when coming back down. Unreal.

    I know Ridiculous! and every game is producing this type of thing. Bangladesh were doing great there but just lost a very costly wicket

    SA are smashing England around the park at the moment,

    96-0 after 7 overs.

    Edit: De Kock gone for 52 off 24 balls, terrific knock.

    230 to win, that's going to be a very tall order, methinks :)

    Shaping up for a tight finish.

    My gut says England will lose wickets at the wrong time and fall short.

    It looks like we are not the only team whose fielding standards have seriously slipped

    That was entertaining. Roy and Root in particular made it look easy.

    The commentators made a good point about SA giving up too many gift singles.
    Even when the spinners were on top England were still getting 6 or 7 an over. After Roy's great early knock it was enough to keep them in it. More dot balls would have made life difficult for England.

    Joe Root seems to be mister composure. He never looked under pressure to keep hitting big sixes and was quite happy to grab singles and keep the runs ticking up.

    They may not be the best in the tournament, but England will certainly be involved in some entertaining matches.

    Missed this mornings match, New Zealand look impressive. England vs South Africa was excellent, so far it seems that batting second will be a big advantage. Teams could have a tendency to leave runs behind when they hitting at around 190+ and assuming it's a great score. India vs Pakistan should be a belter tomorrow!

    Yep, SA were definitely guilty of this, the field was always set up to allow the singles and they bowled 20 wides on top of that, many of them bouncers that went over the wicketkeepers head, there was also an easy to stop 4 that one of the fielders missed, and in the end as it turned out a few extra runs could have made the difference
