2nd T20I: England v South Africa at Old Trafford.

Match scheduled to begin at 18:30

This series will once again end up with one team either retaining or becoming the No1 ranked team. After being soundly beaten in the Tests and drawing the Odi's England will be hoping for victory against South Africa to give them a confidence boost before heading off to the World Cup later this month.

Other than a series winning confidence boost this is a big chance for a few players to stake their claim for a starting spot in the World Cup and also for one or two {Broads pace, Boparas batting} to try and regain some sort of form.

England need to bounce back to stay in the series after the shambles at Durham.



Squads

England; SCJ Broad {c}, JM Anderson, JM Bairstow, RS Bopara, TT Bresnan, DR Briggs, JC Buttler, JW Dernbach, ST Finn, AD Hales, C Kieswetter{w}, MJ Lumb, EJG Morgan, SR Patel, GP Swann, LJ Wright

South Africa; AB de Villiers{c,w}, HM Amla, F Behardien, J Botha, JP Duminy, F du Plessis, JH Kallis, RE Levi, JA Morkel, M Morkel, JL Ontong, WD Parnell, RJ Peterson, DW Steyn, LL Tsotsobe

Still an injury concern for Tim Bresnan though.


Good luck to both teams.

The return of Kallis would South Africa the balance that they lacked throughout the ODI series. Rechard Levi, other than that one explosive innings, hasn't done much of note since, and he would need a good series to cement his position at the top in the world t-20.

If Steven Finn's back problems do not completely go away, I don't think they should risk him. That might provide James Anderson his long awaited comeback opportunity in T-20Is.

No way should they risk Finn, /bresnans injury is a good excuse to leave him out

They will play Bopara but he really needs to justify a place come world cup timer.

I dont see England winning this if SA pick their best side

I'd expect Buttler to play instead of Lumb maybe, and with Kies moving up to open.

Perhaps moving back to the lumb/kieswetter partnership? Would preferably like to see butler in the side but not opening. Hope Briggs plays he looks a superb player.

So Bopara at 3, should be a quick innings from him. Maybe the shorter format may take the pressure off him.

Looking forward to this, should be a decent game and with the pitch turning Swann could be in with a chance for a few.

A pity Hales got run out ...he had started very nicely. Kieswetter rather using up a good ration of the team's luck here but runs are coming.
Fingers crossed for Bopara.

England slipping big time. Buttler has got great reviews regarding his ability to hit the long ball, England badly in need of his very best today.
Another very poor batting effort from Ravi Bopara.
Oh Buttler gone, Petersen with the wicket. Poor from England.

Can't read too much into one t20 match , but they'll need to play the spinners with a bit more thought if they're to get anywhere in the Cup.

Patel gone now.

Should have picked Luke Wright Very Happy

In fairness to England , I don't think this is a very good pitch for stroke play. But that isn't going to bother SA too much as they'll only be chasing 100 or so.

Couple of boundaries there so they might yet get 120 ?

Some good batting from Swann here...sees England to the semi-respectable heights of 115 with three balls left...

Final total. 118 More than it might have been ...

Be surprised if SA don't get that at a canter.
