31st over: South Africa 167-5 (van der Dussen 50, Phehlukwayo 14)
Just before that review, van der Dussen cut Rashid for a single to reach a calm fifty from 56 balls. He now has an average of over 100 in his fledgling ODI career.
“I’m in Stratford Upon Avon, which got me thinking about parallels between cricketers and Shakespeare’s character,” says Gary Naylor. “Can’t help but see Eoin Morgan as Henry V - a heroic leader, rallying the troops on his way to his personal Agincourt against India at Lord’s on 14 July. Unfortunately, I think, like Henry V himself, soon after his success he will leave the scene and chaos will reign in the land, as the twin crowns of The Hundred and first-class cricket sit uneasily on the head of the Chair of the ECB. Still, let’s enjoy this fine band of brothers while we can.”

Andile Phehlukwayo survives an LBW review. He played back to a Rashid googly, missed and was hit on the back foot. It looked plumb, but Kumar Dharmasena gave it not out and replays showed it pitched just outside leg stump. That’s a fine piece of umpiring.
