(Or to a reluctant acceptance that the famine is now permanent, and therefore you should retire.) Bairstow heaved a boundary to the same area, cow corner for him, and then pulled a huge six over square leg. That allows Andile Phehlukwayo to come into the attack and get away with a pretty cheap over - five singles from it. His first ball is a long hop that Malan belts flat and hard over midwicket for six. Hendricks edges over the vacant slip cordon for four and then slaps a short ball over backward point for another boundary. 14th over: England 134-3 (Bairstow 48, Ali 8) The South African captain David Miller gambles by bringing Shamsi back for a third over. Klaasen then gets a couple of boundaries, one driven and one pulled, to make it a very good over for South Africa: 17 from it. 5th over: South Africa 36-2 (Hendricks 26, Klaasen 4) Richard Gleeson, who made a thrilling debut against India earlier in the month, comes into the attack. Gleeson is a late bloomer, and he has been on England’s radar for a while. And he makes it three in the over by driving the last ball handsomely over wide mid-off. 9th over: South Africa 83-3 (Hendricks 56, Miller 1) Hendricks swivel-pulls Curran for four to reach a classy half-century from 28 balls. 14th over: South Africa 137-5 (Stubbs 43, Phehlukwayo 1) Stubbs, who slog-swept Rashid out of the ground earlier in the over, has 43 from 16 balls.
