Obviously I can.

Huge wicket of Buttler. Up to Stokes mostly, and Moeen to get them to 300+. They do bat till 11, though.

Just Stokes now. Excellent tactics and bowling from SA.

Sweet ! I can see some intense PHP dev going on at the sides

Going to be interesting to see what woakes does here,I would have preferred wood playing,but maybe woakes can prove me wrong.

Definitely doesn't look like a 350 belter. While Stokes has played well, I think it was a tactical error to have him bat above Buttler.

I think South Africa have pulled back fantastically here. I love cricket played in England. The atmosphere is so good and amazing. Also the SaF kit is awesome.

Excellent bowling from the South Africans after the 30 over mark, given that England looked like they could have scored 350 plus. 311 is probably a par score that they could chase with the batting lineup they have, and the extra depth today with the inclusion of Pretorius. English bowlers will probably be aware that slower balls will be the way to go on this pitch though, which should give us a fascinating contest in the second innings.

England have missed the chance to bat south Africa out of the match here

310+ is gettable. Tough but gettable by this batting lineup. Need a fiery start from de kock

Very good bowling from south africa. Used the variations perfectly. When root was batting it looked like 350-375 was on the cards. But they pulled back and have given themselves a chance for an upset here

Top effort from SA. I think they've got England about 15 under par. At the same time, with England's line up and the attack SA have, they should have got 25+ par. I think this is a classic example of teams over complicating matters. Buttler had to come in and basically look to get the buzzers on from the word go and that's why I feel that if England have to bat sides out of matches then Buttler has to bat 25-30 overs. They anyway got 8 an over after he got out, so with this batting line up there's enough insurance. But, if he gets set, or let's say had he played the number of deliveries Stokes did, he would have taken England to 350. Sides miss the point that there are only 4 fielders outside the circle from 11-40 and it's more of a case for your gun batsman to play in that phase.
