"I've never seen such a game of cricket before," cries a breathless Asad. "No matter who wins, it's worth watching. Am speechless."

Abbott to Roy, 1 run, better - much fuller and Roy can only get a single
2.5
Abbott to Roy, SIX, plink! Short, and hooked for six. No more need be said. Just swivelled onto it and hooked it into the first tier
2.4
Abbott to Stokes, 1 run, very well bowled - a yorker (remember those?) Dug out back past the bowler for a single
Hello, Ben Stokes? Yes. Interesting.
2.3
Abbott to Hales, OUT, that is dead. Middle-and-leg, goodnight - and very well bowled, at last pitching it up. Fast and straight
AD Hales lbw b Abbott 17 (7b 4x4 0x6) SR: 242.85

Abbott to Hales, no run, dot ball! Match swings in South Africa's favour...
Jimbo: "Really kicking myself at this point for not calling off sick from work and watching this match." You have the next best thing: at work, pretending to work, while reading us
Mukesh: "This has to be the match of whoever bowls worst loses! Seriously can't believe what's happening."
