    Klaassen is felled by a Wood yorker. He looks absolutely knackered and currently on 90 off 59
  • Options
    He's up and smashing Wood 

  • Options
    10 off the next two balls from Wood and 100 to Klaasen off 61 balls

    Thats really poor from wood..

    I have absolutely no proof whatsoever but there is definitely something wrong within the England camp.
    The body language and lack of determination with some of the players is not what we have been accustomed with over the last few years.

    50 to 100 in 21 balls.  Ouch.

    Atkinson bowls Klaasen for 109 (67) with the first ball of the final over

    Another wicket to Atkinson. Coetzee caught by Livingstone

    In the context of this innings, that was an excellent final over from Atkinson - 2 wickets and just 5 runs conceded to keep the Saffers under 400

    399-7 off 50

    Not really any positives to take from that but maybe a smidge of momentum from that final over……..

    Cue the early batting collapse

    Well done Atkinson for sparing us the ignominy of a 400 chase.

    I agree with @blackpool72. The players look like they dont want to be there. Still I dont suppose the players will be too bothered. The next franchise competition will be just around the corner. Is it the Big Bash League next?

    Before I have a really big moan maybe I ought to see how England get on on batting pitch with short boundaries but why decide to bowl first in a furnace escapes me ..plenty of other moans but I ll save that til later

    To think Stokes could have been sorting his knee out properly instead of putting himself through this. 

    That was brutal

    So what do we do now? Three more wickets and Willey is in but, equally, we can't afford to get too far behind the RR either.

    When it rains, it pours. Malan tickles one down the legside and is given out post review for 6 (11)

    Losing this at a canter.

    Buttler keeps bowling first & losing. As a captain he is not a patch on Morgan. 

    Pre-curser to this evening I would add.

    We could lose this by 300 runs at this rate
