Bairstow in now, Taylor retired not out. Well batted!

Stokes now retires on 158. Top knock.

158 off 131. At that point he's just showing off.
Also we've got five leg byes now. Imagine the invitational team are feeling just a little bit disheartened.

Sounds like the ball was doing quite a bit early on but not so much now... just the nine bowlers used by SA so far.
I guess Stokes' shoulder is feeling better!

Jonny Bairstow. Bowled for 35 at an SR of only 76.
He should be ashamed of himself.

Bit confused as to why Woakes is out there instead of Ballance? I know Ballance wouldn't come in this late but surely you'd still want him to be in the middle practising?

I'd hope that Gaz Baz will get another crack next innings instead of Taylor or Stokes. They can exchange Jimmy and Footsy as well.
Incidentally, 10 no balls from the Saffer kids. Ten!

I think they picked a proper XI for the game, rather than having a net like feel to it where people come and go at random.

Footitt and Woakes on one wicket each so far. That's the big bowling contest prior to this series. Although I imagine Jordan (tch) will get a go at some point.
Possibly not in this innings though? They seem to have gone with MAli first - who, after starting with three consecutive maidens, is now leaking runs like the Moe we know and tolerate.

Footitt's only problem I really see is the fact he is usually quite expensive with the new ball. I don't see that as a massive problem though...
He also broke the biggest stand of there innings! #TeamFootitt

Alex Hales: 2 off 28. Still getting his eye in I guess. EDIT: Oh.

So erm. That was a slight collapse by England... Ballance's 25 won't be enough i'd imagine...

This match is first class, with some decent opposition, so it might actually be worth following.
Not that you'd know it, looking at the scoreline. 91 for 5, Finn with 3. Might be pushing himself up ahead of Footitt now.

Go Finn! Another wicket in the bag.

Reckon it's a straight shootout between Finn and Foottit now. Other 10 names seem pretty much decided:
Cook, Hales, Compton, Root, Taylor, Stokes, Bairstow, Ali, Broad, Anderson, ?
