60 from the first 5 overs for SA, 40 from the next 5 overs. England have done well to reign them in so far.

64 from the next 5, SA back in control

They're gonna need every run they can get though. England's batsmen will love this pitch, Roy, Bairstow, Buttler etc will just be able to hit right through the line.

Going to be a big score here 215+.

Think SA will win this one runs on the board etc not much the bowlers can do on a pitch like this just hope a batter makes an error haha

England have bowled very poorly though. They've hardly tried a Yorker and then when they have, they haven't nailed it.

Wood has been awful agreed but the average score on this is 195 so 10 an over is the norm.

Its clearly good for batting on.

Can someone explain Chris Jordan to me... I heard him described as a "hired gun" the other day because he tours the T20 tournaments.  Am I missing something with him as I just don't see a top player there?

Why not bowl full on leg wicket? jam the batsmen in? And a few slower balls.

He's not a top player but he's better than what he's shown here. When he gets it right he can be great at the death, I think he done rather well in the Big Bash recently.

He is a very good fielder and excellent catcher, but yeah bowling is not what you would expect given the praise he sometimes gets, then again virtually everyone gets smacked all over the place in T20s, it is very much a batsmans game.

He is usually good at the death not today though !

Today is a day as a bowler you pull a sickie nobody wants to bowl on that

That's a dodgy wide decision and the extra ball goes for a six!

He isn’t any quicker scoring than Roy/Bairstow though and this pitch is a road.

It’s going to be plenty of runs but I think SA will win this by about 12 runs. (Hopefully I’m wrong)

Brilliant by Bairstow.

Just checked Malans numbers and they are pretty good in the T20's.

I think it was always going to be a tough chase.

It’s a decent watch but let’s be honest are Denny/Malan better than Hales ?

All I can say is it is a good job Beefy wasn’t around in this era probably would have served a few bans !
