Ali Martin's match report

What a brilliant game of cricket. I absolutely loved that. Both teams had it in the bag. Both teams made a mess of it. Both teams dropped sitters in the deep and both teams held on to some of the best catches seen in the tournament.

South Africa remain unbeaten and have one foot in the semi-finals. England can still get there if they beat USA and the West Indies beat South Africa. Net run rate will be a factor of course. And after today’s show, let’s not right anything off.

With that I’ll sign off and thank you all for sticking with me. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. I’m sorry I couldn’t get to them all. If only the game was more pedestrian, but who wants that?

Look out for Ali Martin’s report that should be landing any minute.

Totsiens and hamba kahle.
