Root gone to a good 'un.

And not a good series for Roy with three failures

Cracking partnership of 19 for the seventh wicket.....and counting.

It's taken six wickets to find two batsmen to bat with some common sense

135/8 now - Bairstow has top scored with 51. Willey got 26 and Roland-Jones is 31 not out.

The batting was junk and the bowlers weren't much better.

Weren't the first 6 all out playing nearly the same shot and getting caught at slip..I haven't seen the scorecard just saw a bit on the news..?

We won the first two matches didn't we though..because our one day side is pretty decent these days..?

Rashid made a strong contribution, out 1st ball and did not bowl, Morgan has little faith in him, why exactly is he in the team?

I think that we can write today off as a bad day at the office.

The South African bowlers got the ball to swing and move off the pitch and yet our bowlers couldn't for some reason.

For some reason we chose not to play our only spinner though it wouldn't have made a difference with the lack of runs that we had to play with.

It must frustrate Rashid.

He wouldn't be in the team if there was little faith in him.

The most stupid reckless dismissal of the lot was Bairstows.
