England in South Africa 2020

[jbswagger]

Just a heads up that the first T20 starts tomorrow.

[jbswagger]

England win toss and bowl

Why isn't there BBC commentary on either Radio 5L SX or web site?

Grand prix is on R 5L SX now but the cricket isn't listed as being on after.

Ah, thanks, I'd forgotten about them!

Not as good as TMS but better than Sky IMHO.

Changed my mind, not as good as I remember, even the wife, who usually hates the Sky commentary, asked to go back them!

Terrible bowling performance from Tom Curran.

Thought we'd struggle to get 150/155 but Bairstow and Stokes have dragged us back into this. Captain Morgans turn now!

[Black can man]

Bairstow

[pequod]

Thank you Mr Hendricks.

[Black can man]

Wow ! Take a bow England .

[nicanary]

I had started to think it wasn't going to happen, and then Sam Curran hit that straight 6 on his second ball and I started to believe. Excellent win.

He is indeed a fantastic all round cricketer . How proud must the Curran's father be if he's looking down ?

Captain Morgan was saying pre match that the left arm over young Sam provides gives him an extra option shuffling his bowlers. England were outstanding yesterday .

There is another brother that plays 2xl cricket for Northants, well he did in 2019.

[nicanary]

That was closer than it needed to have been. Phew......

I've always maintained that Morgan is the best cricketer in the world at calculating the pace of a run chase. He just doesn't ever seem to worry - it's all in hand. (Sort of defeats my first sentence).

Final T20 about to start. South Africa win the toss and bat

[Leicester Loyal]

Great innings from SA, 84 runs in the final 5 overs!

[thegreenhell]

That gives us something to chase! Should be exciting.

[spikeyhead]

It's a good job we've already won this series

[pequod]

Got to feel sorry for SA with Joss B smashing the leather over the boundary to all parts of the ground.

In other news, I see Bairstow is back in the Test side against Sri in the upcoming series, replacing the injured S Curran. He has another chance to cement his place in the side, however, I feel he won't be a regular pick simply based on his batting.

Moreso when the guy at the other end is making Buttler look pedestrian

[Leicester Loyal]

That was superb, amazing from Malan.

[Black can man]

That is impressive ,

Absolute Carnage from Malan & Buttler .
