Re: England V SA
Mayhem:
2.6
Willey to de Kock, SIX, oh my word, that's huge!
2.5
Willey to de Kock, **FOUR, four more! Pitched up in the channel and rasped through point
Long-on goes back now
2.4
Willey to de Kock, **FOUR, four more, through mid-on this time! De Kock is on fire here, no need for many sighters, stands back and larrusp a shorter ball past the man no the edge of the ring
2.3
Willey to de Kock, **SIX, crrrrrrrrrrrrrunched! Straight back down the ground for six! He's confident in the pitch to walk down and thwack Willey back over the top, flies over the rope at long-off
2.2
Willey to de Kock, no run, angled in a touch straighter, 82mph and hitting de Kock on the pads as he got outside off and tried to club over the leg side
2.1
Willey to de Kock, no run, beaten slashing impetuously outside off again, not the length for it
[LIST]
[/LIST]
1.6
Topley to Amla, no run, appeal for lbw, maybe pitched outside leg? Topley looks frustrated but the umpire wasn't interested, still, a better line to the right-hander, getting it to straighten a touch and rap the knee roll
Kapil: "That's precisely why Topley shouldn't be playing in this XI. Freebie in a big game, England cannot afford it especially after losing the 1st game." It's not started well for Toppers, that's for sure
1.5
Topley to de Kock, 1 run, gets this tight to off stump, dabbed down in front of point
1.4
Topley to de Kock, **FOUR, four more, slapped through cover point with impunity! Poor from Topley, offering too much width without any protection and de Kock pierces the off side again
1.3
Topley to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock collars him again, lofted over cover for four! Flowing stroke through the line and that's a second boundary in three balls
1.2
Topley to de Kock, no run, in the channel, draws his length back a tad, wild play-and-miss from de Kock
1.1
Topley to de Kock, SIX, pitched up and crunched over point, all the way for six! De Kock lands the first proper blow of the contest, freeing up the arms and walloping Topley into the crowd
