[Arthur Crabtree]

With that top six, England have a chance, on a good day. But a longer tail than usual.

I wonder if it's worth opening with a David Willey or someone over Malan to try and get a rapid start?

[sussexpob]

400 could be on here....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Does that ever work? Might be a case for putting another batter up top, like Brook, but not a fan of promoting a tail end hitter. He's more likely to contribute later on against an older ball.

Topley back on...first ball 4!

[Arthur Crabtree]

124 for this wicket, in 12 overs. So far.

[andy]

I would have thought mark wood will be taken out of the firing line after this game he looks done....

This is some innings by Jansen truly outstanding

[sussexpob]

400 could be on here....

6 required from the last over....

England's worse bowling performance is 398 vs NZ in 2015... that record is surely gone

[andy]

400 to win

[sussexpob]

The record has indeed gone... but South Africa end 1 run short of 400

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bowling in tatters. Willey and Atkinson come off best.

[Durhamfootman]

Crikey, with 8 overs to go I thought SA might just about squeak 350 if they went well

England are toast!

[mikesiva]

Sri Lanka win by five wickets.

Sadeera 91*

Phelukwayo on the field for klaasen no suprise there

[sussexpob]

England 30-3 in reply.... woeful.

So much talent in this team, but they've turned up half cooked.
