End of over 2 (23 runs) England 44/0 (186 runs required from 18 overs, RR: 22.00, RRR: 10.33)

JJ Roy26 (8b 5x4 1x6)
AD Hales13 (4b 3x4 0x6)
DW Steyn1-0-23-0
K Rabada1-0-21-0
 

So, England are 44-0 after 2 overs. Forty-four without loss after two overs.

 
1.6
Steyn to Roy, SIX, oh come off it, what are you doing? It's Dale Steyn, have you no respect? He's just picked him up off his left knee for six, as though sweeping away a rogue wasp from the table
 

Oof, This is tasty, This is very very tasty indeed

 
1.5
Steyn to Roy, FOUR, has that gone for six? A good ball just outside off, with a hint of swing, but Roy trusted himself and has smashed him over long-off...for four
1.4
Steyn to Hales, 1 run, marginally better line, Hales works this off his pads once more
 

pinakin: "Game On !!! I believe England can pull this off.. Supporting England from USA..." Game on indeed, Mr Pinakin

 
1.3
Steyn to Hales, FOUR, oh dear. Steyn's grimace has turned to a wry smile; he knows he's stuffed up here. Just bowling too straight and Hales is clipping with ease
1.2
Steyn to Hales, FOUR, bosh! Too straight from Steyn and Hales picks this off middle for another four - beautiful turn of the wrists
1.1
Steyn to Hales, FOUR, dropped I think, at short fine leg! Down the leg side, Hales plucks it off his hip to short fine-leg's left and it scoots through his fingers! Fairly ropey effort
 

"What's the fuss about?" chirps David, "England gonna knock this off in 10 overs." Banter.
