Certainly put to the broad-sword today.
Glad England weren't chasing 180+. They may have struggled on that pitch.

Ian Bell back anyone? Root has been a flop at 4

When we put an effort in we can play good strong positive cricket...then we get lazy again.
Bell is finished.
look how many chances bell had, let Root have longer to try and then move him down the order to 5th or 6th if he is lacking sharpness.

England chasing a seemingly impossible target of 230 set by South Africa in the T20 WC, and giving it a bloody good go with the bat so far. 138-4 off 11.2 overs.

28 needed off the last 18 balls, Root has been imperious.

Root goes with 11 needed, great knock of 83 off 44, now can England polish off 11 off 10 balls?

What a win! Lost a couple of wickets in the last over but a chase of 230 is the second highest in T20 internationals, and the highest ever at a T20 WC. 230-8, with 2 balls to spare, England still alive in the tournament!

That was a thrilling run chase.
England live to fight another day.

Sensational result. Had not thought there to be any way back after South Africa's innings. Well played, England!  |

Sensational...if you want to show someone an example of the good old English fighting spirit, show them the highlights from this!

Brilliant game this evening, got in for the last 10 overs!
On a similar note Chris Gayle is an absolute beast some of his hitting the other day was insane. A camera in the roof of the stadium had to pan upwards to follow one of his sixes!

Looking forward to this afternoons game... ENG v NZ in the semi-final, I think it's too close to call either way.
