Whatever happens - and a lot can still happen - Jason Roy's innings was quite special

 
13.6
Imran Tahir to Root, 1 run
13.5
Imran Tahir to Buttler, 1 run, turned off his toes for a single
13.4
Imran Tahir to Root, 1 run, full toss, stroked once more to long-on
13.3
Imran Tahir to Buttler, 1 run, this is tossed up and Buttler almost begins running before he's played the shot - a drive to mid-on
13.2
Imran Tahir to Buttler, 2 runs, short of a length and stroked, rather than clubbed - and well placed
 

That just slipped out of his hand

 
13.2
Imran Tahir to Buttler, 3 wides, no no - no! At least two wides...dew really starting to hamper South Africa here
13.1
Imran Tahir to Root, 1 run, Root energetically punches this down the ground for a single to bring up his and Buttler's 50 partnership
 

70 from 42

"Who wants to be a bowler today guys???" asks Imtiaz Pathan. I'd extend that rhetoric further: who'd be a bowler in T20, full stop?
