    Jordan is a Brilliant fielder but very average bowler . So is he worth his place for his 2 catches alone?

    England won with 4 overs to spare.
    Hales got 99
    Buttler hit a quickfire 48 no to see him through

    England won the toss in the 3rd ODI and will bat with no change to the side.

    The one obvious switch would be to bring Broad in for Jordan. Would improve our chances of taking wickets and wouldn't exactly weaken the batting with Rashid and Willey batting at 8 and 9 respectively.

    And whilst we might miss Jordan's athleticism in the field you don't pick a player for his fielding alone. You pick a player for his fielding when compared to someone of a similar ability e.g. Woakes. That isn't the case here.

    SA drop Roussouw for Wiese in order to give them a 5th bowler. Their batting line-up has a long tail now IMO

    184-3 off 33

    Root is 83* (80) but, whilst the pitch looks two paced and of uneven bounce, Morgan looks like someone who hasn't batted in anger for some time for just 6 off 21. Perhaps it's the lull before the storm.

    SEVEN ODI tons for Root, equal with Gower and only one behind Gooch!

    What a great player he will be for England - we are lucky to have him and Stokes and Buttler.

    And as pointed out on SS he does it without anyone noticing it. One boundary per over and a couple of singles and that's good enough when you have Buttler, Stokes, Hales, Roy, Morgan etc etc launching it.

    Be interesting to see had they can get the score up to. Stupid run out there between root and stokes. Got to be looking at 310 - 320

    Root's was a tad unlucky imo. The really silly one was Roy's because he was out by two inches having not sprinted the first one, hesitated on the turn and then had to run around the bowler!

    That's shocking. Sounds like Simon church's goal ratio per 50 games.

    Blimey, if you're saying Root isn't great now, I fear for every other country when he reaches his peak :smiley:

    Thanks to Willey & Rashid with 13* apiece we reach a very competitive 318-8 off our 50
