England have bowled south africa out for an impressive 307, Harmison took five wikcets removing the last 2 in a row, M.Ntini going to a perfect yorker. it will be intresting to see whether England can do it.
Required Runrate 6.14

 

[m_vaughan]

good performance by South Africa. Can England chase such a huge target?

 

[tjh1989]

Englands poor scorecard. England in the end lose by large amount of runs and get off to the worst start. Man of the Match: J.Rudolph
