  • Think Morgs should go now. We've got a captain ready to take over (Root) - he keeps getting out to stupid shots - and keeps wanting to play the high risk shots like reverse sweep - just adds pressure to the likes of Stokes and Buttler - plus would give room for the likes of Billings and Bairstow to come into the team.
  • Stokes is bowled round his legs (29 off 32) and Buttler (out second ball) takes us to 156-5 off 28.

    Hales 81* (87) for his 5th 50 in the series (previous scores of 57, 99, 65 & 50)
  • Ali gone for 12 (17). Hales 92* (103) is fighting a one man battle.

    181-6 (33.5)
  • Woakes plays a leg glance straight into the hands of fine leg on the boundary for a duck.

    183-7

    Making a right pigs ear of this.
  • And Rashid hits two fours and then lobs it to mid off. Shocking batting.

    192-8
  • Hales gets a thoroughly deserved hundred.
  • Hales has now scored the most runs ever in a five match series for England with 375 so far.

    Most of the batting has been shocking. South Africa bowled poorly as well.

    I see Voges has taken his test average above 100 in the test against NZ.

    Also beaten record for most runs without being out 551 and counting.

    How long would Tavare or Boycott have taken.......?

    Switching between the footy and cricket.

    Some very poor shot decisions this morning. We need to get in the mindset of being aggressive but not playing stupid shots with plenty of overs to go. Not far from being a decent side once settled.
  • Wifi not great here, updates please ?

    AB should have been out then but we couldn't appeal and umpire didn't give it. Grr. 210-5
