Big wicket.
Huge wicket
Feck.
South Africa have to be strong favourites now, pretty well done getting Buttler out without conceding a boundary I think and now an out of form Moeen in now.
Fantastic stuff from our bowlers in the last few overs.
Disappointing from Buttler, Stokes will need to go on and Moeen and co. need to be ready to hit the rope.
Could sense Jos was gonna feck it up. I think England have scored too slowly for my liking - that pitch is a 330+ run pitch for a good side.
Good chance still for them to make it but they need to let loose very soon.
England STL in a good position. 8 overs is plenty
They need to have a smaller version of the fielding radar permanently on the screen.
I think 330 is still within reach. Won't even need that much if they get SAs top order early.
Maybe, Vaughan's just talking about the pitch maybe having caught them out a touch this morning. Faf won a good toss by the looks of it.
I hope so. If this was normal ODI I wouldn’t be worried but England in world cups anything can happen.
Not looking too good for England.
I think there's a little bit in this pitch tbh. Maybe a 320 pitch rather than the 350 ones we've played on.
Mooen's form is a real worry.
Mooen's form is a real worry.
Moeen out. Stokes needs to start hitting big regardles now. No point hanging around with 6 overs left
Moeen gone, sounds like a hell of a catch from Faf
Fecking Moeen again. Well at least he's out before he drags our RR down any lower.
Moeen did not look good at all
Once again Ali gets out by playing a shot which he really shouldn't.
Typical.
Typical.
Aye, at least he got out trying to score big, we don't need him piddling about below a run every other ball.
Was an excellent catch indeed, looked beautifully timed.
Our bowlers are winning us this tournament.
Nah, he just didn't execute well. It was a length ball on his pads in the slog overs, if you aren't trying to hit that for four or six then you're doing something wrong.
it was a slow ball
Yes, who said otherwise?
Agreed.
England haven’t really executed their big hits well in this game - lots of mishit shots.
A partnership here between Woakesy and Stokesy and we're in business still, it won't be easy but our bowlers can make things happen in the second innings.
3 overs left. You need to start clearing the ropes now
You make sound like it was a regulation length ball on the pads which wouldn't explain why he miss hit it.
Not sure why that needed a second replay. Was obvious in the first showing.
Not sure why it was reviewed at all
Bloody hell
Amazing bowling here, just getting it done!
For me Ali shouldn't be hitting the ball in the air unless boundaries are rather short. He simply isn't strong enough to clear boundaries consistently and regularly gets out by trying to hit sixes. Hitting the ball on the floor can still increase run rate and if you're not strong then that should be the way a batsman should play and not give his wicket away as he does regularly.
Just not smart cricket with 8 overs left and Stokes set on the other end.
Wasn't this England batting line up supposed to be feared?
That shot sums it all up for England
Stoke out now too
This has been wonderful bowling from SA. Pitch looks as flat as anything but England have constantly lost wickets at crucial moments. 300 should be chaseable.
