A prolonged innings there, aided by sluggish over charge and harm to de Kock, and South Africa would possibly but be rapped over the knuckles with a high-quality. Some excellent news for them although – de Kock hasn’t damaged something so will likely be match and wanting to open the batting. England weathered the difficult early overs – the brand new ball, swing and bounce – to supply a cracking whole. Fabulous batting in elements – cautiously brutal from Buttler, joyfully brutal from Moeen and brutally brutal from Harry Brook. Time for me to shift my bottom from the couch and hand you over to Taha Hashim, who will information you thru the remainder of the sport. Thanks for all of the messages, bye!
