Root not playing for his average. England have done well to refresh this side since the World Cup.

Good recovery from England in this match too. Should get 250 + which didn't look likely.

Wasteful from England. Too slow to start with, then threw wickets away in the middle. SA should chase this down without any problems.
Duminy plumb LBW not given and survives by a mm on the impact then next ball de Villiers is dropped...
This ain't England's night...

I think it is. Dumb by Duminy. He can't win it for them but AB might have.

Morris displaying his batting capabilities.
Another England choke job.
And Root brilliant again, 8th ODI century and now equals Gooch

Its not. But its a reference to him being a 100 or nothing player at international level.

Catching & fielding has been terrible on this tour. I would hire Paul Collingwood as a full time coach to improve the fielding. The current guy is clearly not making a difference.
Love these sorts of comments.
"Hire xxx because he was amazing at yyy when he was a player".
Been great to see the South Africans fight back and particularly like how Morris is progressing into international cricket. Struggled with the ball in the tests but I like the way he goes about things and wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more of him in the future. Plenty spoken about de Kock so not much more to add other than that he's a jet.
The kind of record Joe Root is going to end up with as a test and ODI cricketer will be pretty remarkable. Beautiful batsman to watch and will enjoy the statistical battle unfold between he, Williamson, Smith and Kohli over the next decade.
Root gone, that's massive and Amla will be relieved after dropping an absolute soda.

Morgan is garbage
Rabada stars again, he is amazing for his age.
Had I heeded the notifications I would have realized this was another early start.
South Africa shitting the bed again.
Roussow is garbage and that shot from Faf was terrible, yes it was a good ball but that was trash. Once again left to the only two who you can rely on

this has been an entertaining series all round..
Rashid takes the basic catch in the last game then England would have clinched the series. But the margins between success and failure are slim ,so the saffers will prob win. Topley has been excellent in this series and hopefully will be moved up the test squad.

Needed that badly.
I can't believe how much AB and Amla love batting together, average 88 and have 11 century stands in ODI cricket (9th most ever) and in far fewer innings

AB steers South Africa to a series win with a brilliant hundred. His 24th. The guys a freak!!
England let this series slip!

The comparison between Topley and Nathan Bracken is an easy one to make, but for very good reason.
Good stuff by the Proteas again, excellent fightback for the series after a frustrating start (and summer). Pretty handy performance by Wiese, he looks a likely sort for an ODI allrounder role.
