If England can win the target of 331 runs on this pitch, it will be a new record. We have seen England's weak batting lineup in the first match. So the possibility of England winning is very low. Even then, since England is an experienced team. They will definitely try to win. England will have to score more than 6.5 runs per over. This is a very difficult task. Before scoring any runs, England lost the very important wicket of Jamie Smith. Their collection is 54 runs in 9 overs. If the batsmen can survive at the crease and do not lose wickets quickly, then the match will undoubtedly become competitive.

I have never seen a team score so big on this Lord's pitch. This is the first time I have seen it. The South African batsmen played brilliantly. Especially after losing 3 wickets for 93 runs, the partnership of Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs was the most necessary. Even then, Dewald Brevis gave a great innings of 42 runs off 20 balls. As a result, South Africa gave a big target of 331.
I do not see any possibility of South Africa losing. The way England are in shaky condition, they will not be able to win against such a big target. England's total is only 66 runs after losing 2 wickets already
