England’s 201 in a rain-shortened game was enough to beat South Africa by 118 runs and level the series at 1-1, with the decider to come on Sunday
England’s summer of chaos shows no signs of slowing down as they snatched four wickets from 10 balls for no runs at the start of South Africa’s innings, ultimately claiming a 118-run win to level the series in a contest that accelerated as it went on.
This England team doesn’t do rebuilds. When the wheels fall off they don’t pull over to put on a spare. They keep the revs up until they’re hurtling over a canyon like Thelma and Louise.For the seventh time in eight white-ball matches, they lost all 10 wickets. That is a large enough sample to suggest that something simply is not working. But this is a team that seems oblivious to prior failures.
Roy was caught at midwicket advancing down the track to Nortje and Phil Salt clothed one in the same direction when Dwaine Pretorius came into the attack. The lanky South African all-rounder was a concussion replacement in the first game of the series but now looks inked on the teamsheet after a best-ever return of four for 36 from six overs.
