    Should be a decent finish this. Bairstow and Stokes going well.

    Love Cape Town. One of my favourite places.

    Nearly a year since I was watching us at Newlands, watching this is bringing all the memories back. Best city I’ve ever been to by a distance.

    Stokes and Bairstow doing well. With the bowling of Tom Curran and how we started our innings, we are making hard work of it against an under strength South Africa side.

    I'd literally just pressed 'post'

    Let me try again.

    Ngidi and Rabada are brilliant bowlers.

    Bairstow letting out some frustration as he didn't have a good IPL and got dropped by Sunrisers for Jason Holder.

    Brilliant finish when it looked to be too many. What I would like to know is how does Jason Roy keep getting picked? I can’t remember the last time he had a decent knock. He’s played some great innings, certainly, but not for some time.

    Agree PoR, maybe time to give Banton a proper run at opening. Also in the bowlers Chris Jordan always seems to get knocked for loads of runs. Can't understand how he keeps his place. Sooner have Woakes or Willey bowling, at least they can bat a bit as well.

    I'd like to see Alex Hales back in the team. Regardless of if he allegedly failed a drugs test last year.

    Totally agree about Woakes/Willey too. Watched a fair bit of the IPL while I was furloughed, Chris Jordan and Tom Curran got quite a bit of tap in the tournament.

    All bowlers get tap in T20 cricket, Woakes and Willey would be no exception. I think Curran had an off night and Jordan is often brilliant when bowling at the death. That said, Willey can be very effective too.

    Jordan is our best T20 bowler after Rashid.

    I loved Cape Town. Gutted I didn't get to see a cricket match at Newlands. I'm envious. :)

    100% worth it mate you wouldn’t be disappointed. The waterfront in Cape Town is a brilliant place too isn’t it.
