What a ball to get Amla. Very impressive line and length from Roland-Jones.

 

[Aber gas]

This is tremendous fast bowling. Good on the lad.

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Roland-jones now 4-20

What a test debut for him

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

47-5

 

[Super_horns]

8 down - 9 in effect due to Philander's illness.

 

[Bobbin']

I hate work.

Can't wait to get in and watch the highlights.

 

[Super_horns]

On Sky?

Channel 5 have them now..

Yeah I prefer the Sky ones, followed by the verdict. Will have to wait until later.

 

[Camborne Gills]

But you don't get Sir Geoffrey on Sky

 

[Bobbin']

But you don't get Sir Geoffrey on Sky

This is true but I get to listen to him on TMS at work during the day

Five5 match to start @ 2128!

Or not.

 

[RavenBish]

Not a fan of Roots captaincy thus far. More Alistair Cook 2.0 than the Brendan McCullum we were hoping for.

 

[Super_horns]

Must be in the England captain's DNA to be cautious. .

 

[RavenBish]

Alex Hales is an absolute freak. What a player.

 

[blademan89]

Notts just chased down 224 with 5 balls to spare against us. Fair play, quality from hales

 

[kieran_vale]

Would definitely agree the declaration was a lot later than would like but England have bowled superbly in this session. Kept the pressure on SA constantly. Should just have broken the back of them now.

 

[RavenBish]

210 is becoming a par score at Notts. I'm not a fan of bringing the boundaries in just because we're not good at fielding but it's producing interesting stuff.

Where has Stokes found this extra pace from?!

 

[kieran_vale]

Faf seems to have a problem with these inswingers, he padded up to one off Jimmy in the first innings also.

 

[Super_horns]

Clearly something in the Oval waters that leads to South Africa batting collapses!

Didn't they beat us by an innings last test match they played at the Oval?

 

[Super_horns]

Probably!

Second time already this season that the domestic record T20 chase has been broken after "Glamorgram" chased down 219 a few weeks ago.

Record is 226 I think it said from 3 years ago according to the BBC. Notts was 2nd highest ever today

Cheers for clarifying. Notts have been in some mental white ball games this season. Their batting lineup is ridiculously strong.

 

[Dave]

Great review that.

And 2 in 2! Brilliant. He's been watching Faf!

[Luke_1884]

Fantastic from Ali, great way to wrap it up.

 

[Super_horns]

A convincing win and finished off in style - if the pattern continues we are due to lose badly at Old Trafford though.

 

[Super_horns]

BTW Have you guys seen this TMS wind up on poor Geoffrey!
