    England win toss and bat first in 1st ODI. 32-0 off 3 overs.

    Looking forward to this. Really enjoyed watching England in limited overs cricket for the past 12 months

    All too often in the last Ashes, we were 40-3 and were being saved by the likes of Root and Stokes futher down the order.

    Roobish!!! As Sir Geoffery would say. We were more often than not 30-3! Same in 2013 when Bell saved us.
    We have won some big series over the past few years but we still have serious issues. We need another opener, still, and soon we'll need two. We need a No.3, a No.5 and a spinner. Root should bat 3, your best batsmen bats three and he should step up.
    Of course no country has the divine right to have 11 world class players in all the key positions and very few ever do. Overall England are pretty good and I really expect a good showing in the up and coming T20 WC.
    ABDV bats 4 for SA.

    I thought you were a Test-only heretic?

    Hales out form 57 - miscuing a 'hoick' (Cricinfo)
    134-2 off 18
    Going nicely - ready for the Stokes explosion - that'll be the kiss of death then.

    Interesting fact from cricinfo...
    "Hales is a strange case - There can't be many batsmen who have opened in all 3 international formats and have higher scores the less overs they play. Test - 60, ODI - 109, T20I - 116*" A spotter's badge is winging its way towards you "

    Buttler coming in at 4 - that's different !

    England looking at a huge score here. 170-2 off 23 overs. Buttler in at 4 in these conditions is a great move

    Cricinfo just gave Buttler OUT off a free-hit ....wnkrs.

    5th Bowler(s) costing SA dear here . Behardien already gone for 32 off 3, and Duminy isn't doing much better. That's where the real value of Ben Stokes comes to the fore.

    A shame Topley couldn't have got a single off the 2 balls he faced!

    Rubbish - Got to look to score 400 on that pitch.

    I thought the days of a no. 11 were well and truly over. Clearly not with Topley. That's 6 runs off 33 balls in ODIs now. Sits nicely with his career First Class average of 2.8 and a career total in all forms of the game of 115 runs from 58 innings for 27 times out.

    I see its Willey to (de) Kock - almost as good as Twatt and Fanni.

    I still can't believe he was chosen for a super over... And won it. He makes jade dernbach seem like Joel Garner

    I've learnt a lot about SA over the last 6 weeks from TMS, bit more in the rain delays today.
