Don't want to jinx him but Roy can get 200 here.

[olaftab]

Well did I say jinx...gone.

[PaulWinch again]

What a knock that was.

[beness]

a great 180 shame he hurt his left finger after a slip whilst running. He may have made a few more but great job.

[Villan For Life]

I was willing him to get a double hundred. A marvellous innings.

[PaulWinch again]

Bit of a poor finish, albeit in an excellent display.

[olaftab]

Cheap wickets given away in the end but a great win. Starc and Cummins were there

[Andy Poole]

It would be nice if we could put an Englishman up to talk about our win.

[tomd2103]

A good win and a good way to start the series.  Don't want to jinx things, but we are a very strong side in the ODI formats now and this result is further proof of that.  I've said it before, but we are probably just a genuine world class strike bowler short of being one of the strongest ODI sides I've seen for some time.

No sorry Moeen was busy😉

Ben Stokes charged with affray. Won't see him playing for England for a while....

[olaftab]

Not sure how it works but I assume this is quite lenient compared to GBH?

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

The original allegations were for ABH, not GBH, and if it’s affray then depending on the seriousness could range from community service to 12 weeks custodial. At the upper end it could even get booted up to Crown Court.

South Africa just cruised to go 2-0 up after the 2nd Test of a 3 match series against India, that's current no 1 Test team India.  But no surprise as its being played in South Africa. 

Can anybody win away in Test cricket?

[cdbearsfan]

Always nice to see India lose, except when they're playing Australia, obviously.
