Damn the England Vs South Africa Match was Nerve wrecking . So much intense was in the match. I thought England could score highes 220-260 but they showed good resilience and excellent performance. Sending Jacob Bethel was excellent selection before Brook & Buttler.  It was Burger who took the Will Jacks wicket and drop some pressure. But still England fight back untill their last breath. Jofra Archer showed exceptional performance.

It was an incredible match. England lost by just 5 runs!! After seeing England's poor batting in the first match, no one  thought England would be able to score more than 250 in this match. Moreover, Duckett and Root's batting was very slow. Ben Duckett could   only score 14 runs from 33 balls. Even then, England scored a big score of 325 runs due to the excellent batting of every batsman in the middle order. But England's bad luck. They lost by just 5 runs. Whatever , it was not as one-sided as the first match, although South Africa had given a huge target of 331 runs.
BTW Congratulations to the South Africa team. They have already secured the series win by winning the first two matches of the three-match series.
