Cricket: England 292/5 on 14:51 - May 27 by Steve_M
330/6. A rather good last three overs.
28-1 is pretty mediocre for the last 3 overs for England these days.
I'm wondering if Amla is beginning to suffer from deterioration in his eye-sight. Has struggled badly judging balls coming to him in the field and just got completely smashed in the grille by a bouncer. Lots of people get hit by bouncers, but it's rare for a batsman to be hit front on in the face without playing a shot.
Glad he's ok, but could be signs that he's just not seeing the ball like he used to.

38/1 from the last three.
Amla was also just so bloody good five years ago that it's not possible to keep that level up.
England desperately need a wicket de Lock and de Villiers are playing excellently and will win this if they stay in.

20 from 12.
Loose ball going for six from the last ball might be costly.
Looks like this has gone. 10 from 10. I turned on and they needed 50 odd from 5 overs. That is nothing these days with how far these modern hitters can go.

Those two sixes in consecutive balls made it comfortable. Been a good match but both sides will look at what they can improve (fielding for SA, bowling for England - too many one ones I think).
