Chasing 299 to win, England were cruising at 146 for no wicket - dozens of runs ahead of the required rate. Three wickets then tumbled in just six runs and we were treated to some truly appalling batting as wickets were surrendered by almost all of the England batsmen.
Most of the strokes played were little short of criminal! Wafting the bat like a magic wand at the ball was the name of the game.
The S. Africans bowled really well - there is no denying that - but capitulation under pressure is shameful.
Well played, the hosts!
