Interesting selections. 9 out of 10 posters have Anderson and Root, and 8 have Rabada, but after that there is very little commonality - 22 unique players selected by 10 posters.

Difference picks (only selected by one poster): Potts, Ngidi, Nortje, Stuurman, Sipamla, Van der Dussen, Leach, Broad, and Lees. Jansen, Pope and Petersen got 2 picks each.

From those numbers Nortje is clearly the best difference pick so far, but unfortunately he was alfie's reserve rather than in the playing 5, so alfie didn't get the points. Jansen was the best rare pick who actually scored for a poster (dd).

Early days.

I always go spinner against England, but if they continue to be this useless against seam, it might work against me

cheers fluffy

I wanted a SA spinner but picket the wrong one.

Harmer was always likely to be 2 spinner option, I think

Obviously I was let down by a lack of injury exclusions for my first five

The table divides sharply between those who had Stokes and Jimmy, and those who didn't...

Interestingly, although I scored them, nobody got Broad or Robinson's points, as they were both only reserve picks.

Game totals after match 2.

DFM retains a slender lead, but any of DFM or the reds could take this one out. Daylight between the reds and mike in 5th.

Cheers BFL. Going to be a nail biter at the top..

just a run out separating the top two

squeaky

cheers fluffy

van der Dussen

Now Bairstow

Looks like I'll be down to 4 for the final game. Last place looks likely.

twins look favourite atm. those late wickets for Broad who comes in for YJB might prove decisive. I can't see Maharaj even getting a bowl in these conditions, let alone matching Broad's haul

Jansen is doing his best to drag Red back into contention but SA might only get to bowl once if England can stop losing a wicket immediately after every rain delay
