Disappointment all round as the deciding ODI at Headingley was called off with South Africa on 159-2
The covers are coming on again, so we’ll have a delay and another reduction in overs when the players do get back on. Gah.Liam Livingstone replaces Adil Rashid, who has been unusually loose and has figures of 6-0-36-1. The bowling is much of a muchness to de Kock, who pings consecutive deliveries through the covers for four and then two to move into the nineties.Markram muscles a reverse sweep over backward point off Moeen, with the ball running away for his first boundary.
“Methinks Mr Porter May have mixed his bunts and bumps up,” says Si B. “Bunt is very much derived from baseball. In cricket it’s always been a bump ball.”24th over: South Africa 130-2 South Africa are manouevring the ball well, as they did in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street. Chuck in de Kock’s stylish boundary-hitting and you have a healthy run rate of around 5.5 per over. He has 75 from 65 balls, Markram 12 from 23.Rashid beats Markram with a delivery that turns a long way past the edge. But de Kock gets another boundary with an accomplished reverse sweep.
Moeen Ali returns to the attack. We never really question his place in the ODI side, but his record is modest: Moeen averages 25 with the bat, with no half centuries since 2017, and 50 with the ball. A low full toss is pinged towards extra cover by de Kock, where the diving Roy makes a good save. Two from the over.There was one ball remaining in the 21st over when rain stopped play. Adil Rashid bowls it to Quinton de Kock, who pushes it straight to short midwicket. Next!
