We are back for the chase! South Africa Under-19 players spread out on the field as the English openers, George Thomas and Jacob Bethell take guard. Matthew Boast has the new ball in hand.
... The Run Chase ...
England are a side which have been doing really well with the bat. They will back themselves to gun it down. South Africa need to bowl really well. Can they defend this? We will find out.
South Africa on the other hand, just have one man to thank for the position they are in. Yes, the last wicket contributed nicely but Brevis' innings was the stand-out. Had it not been for him, his side would have fallen well short of 200. He played a blinder and was very unfortunate to not get to the three-figure mark. Also, had he received support from the rest, South Africa could have well posted close to the 250-run mark. That is not the case though and they now have a under par score to defend.
It was the new ball bowlers who set the tone! Especially Boyden who got two early on. Then there was a period where runs started to flow for South Africa but Rehan was brilliant after being introduced. He got crucial wickets and pegged them back. Sales then played an important role by taking a couple of wickets in one over which put England in firm control. They did let it slip away a little, just a little by letting them cross the 200-run mark but overall, England will be pleased with how they performed in the field.
So, South Africa's last pair has helped them crawl over the 200-run mark but have to say, England will be very pleased with their work and are firm favorites to move into the semi finals.
OUT! RUN OUT! That's it, the South African innings comes to an end. In the end, it does take a run out to get the final wicket but this last wicket partnership has been thoroughly entertaining. Short, on off and cut away towards point for a quick single. Joshua Boyden over there is onto it in a flash and fires in a good throw towards the keeper. Alex Horton whips off the bails in a flash. The replay shows that this time the dive doesn't save Tshaka. South Africa Under-19 end with 209/10!
A run out appeal! This looks out and it is referred. England are celebrating.
Flatter one, on middle. Kept out on the off side.
Another mix-up but the batters survive yet again. Quicker one, on off. Tshaka plays it late towards backward point. His partner wants the single but there's a bit of hesistation. Tshaka puts in the dive and makes it home safely.
