  • Player of the Match
    Quinton de Kock
The next match takes place at Johannesburg on 12th February, 2016, at 1330 local, 1130 GMT. It promises to be a thriller of an encounter. Do join us. Till then, take care and cheers!
QUINTON DE KOCK was awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH. When asked about the wicket, he said that it was good, they knew it was going to be a better wicket at night. Also said that they just had to beat the in field and that was the plan of action. Ended by saying that at Centurion it does get tough but at night with the dew it gets much better to bat.
South African skipper AB DE VILLIERS said that they needed that win, the boys played very well. Further went on to say that his team played better cricket and deserved the win. Also said that he has always asked for good attitude and they had that today, the boys were hungry to get a win. Credited his openers by saying that it was a fantastic knock by both Amla and de Kock. Ended by saying that his team slowly but surely is getting back in the series.
The skipper of England, EOIN MORGAN when asked about how difficult it was batting first replied by saying he thought it was tough. Added on by saying that this group (team England) has been very good in setting totals in the past, they always play with a positive attitude. Further said that Root was outstanding and Hales has been in great form. Also said that a bit of wear and tear was kicking in which was an encouragement for the spinners. Further described the wicket by saying that the ball did not do much so they went back to hitting the length but could not do it regularly. Ended by saying that South Africa have come back really strong, hopefully we can bounce back quickly.
So, as things stand right now, England now lead the series 2-1. With two more matches to go, and especially after today's performance, the Proteas will be high on confidence and will be up for the next challenge. If they manage to put up a similar performance in the next match, they have a very good chance of getting on level terms. England, despite this loss, still have plenty of positives to take with them and can build on it.
England had gotten off to a good start yet again. Root and Hales had done extremely well. Having made 125 runs between them, they had laid a solid foundation for their team. Ben Stokes came in the latter stage of the innings and scored a quickfire half century, helping England score a total of 300 plus. But their brilliant efforts were in vain as their bowling did not back them up.
Don't know if there's much to say about the English bowling tonight. They were smashed possibly in every part of the Centurion, never getting the chance to settle in and bowl their lines and lengths. Adil Rashid was the only mentionable name today who bowled with some control.
It seemed like a daunting task when they started this run chase and there might have been questions about whether or not they'll be able to do it. But boy, oh boy, they've answered those questions mighty well! By the time de Kock was dismissed, the game was more or less in the Proteas' favour. Despite a couple of quick wickets falling, Amla continued the charge. And with Faf du Plessis playing a nice little cameo towards the end, they saw this game through with ease.
From the get-go, they started scoring all around the park, not letting any of the English bowlers settle. Both went on to score huge tons. Putting up 239 runs between them, the highest ever South African opening stand against England, they played phenomenally well, taking the game away from the visitors. This was the highest run chase at this ground.
South Africa have done it! They needed a win to stay alive in this series and they have done just that. They've won this match emphatically and certainly fought back in style. It was the openers, Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla, who should be getting all the credit today. They came out to bat with a positive mind-set and that reflected in their batting.

THAT'S NOT OUT! It was a fullish delivery going down leg. de Kock tried to flick that away and it went behind to the keeper. There some noise as it went past de Kock. Buttler thought de Kock had nicked it. After speaking with this captain, it was decided a referral would be taken. They went upstairs to the third umpire. Replays showed that it had brushed off the pads and there wasn't any kind of nick off the bat. So the decision stayed and de Kock is not out. Seemed like a wasted referral in hindsight.
A referral has been taken for a caught behind.

Reece Topley To Quinton de Kock
Almost a run out there! It was full length delivery which he flicked away and looked for a single. Amla sent him back but the de Kock seemed to have given up as he watched the ball go past the stumps at his end. Lucky escape for the wicket-keeper batsman.
