Roy, Root, Morgan and Stokes all get their 50's.
Roy out for 54, Root out for 51, and now Morgan out for 57 - Stokes needs to go on and make a ton now !
Buttler now at the crease !

Probably already got enough Almost impossible to say. Think we'll need to bowl very well personally.

311-8
Is it enough ?

311... if a couple of south africans get big scores we are in trouble, our bowling isn't as good as our batting, but on balance i think we are still favourites

Probably about par. England will fancy defending it and South Africa will fancy chasing it.
South Africa look a bit light after the top 4 so a couple of early wickets would put England firmly in the driving seat.

... have South Africa glued the bails to the stumps?

Buttlerβs keeping is very up and down at the moment. Hopefully that drop isnβt costly.

Pick up de Kock and I can't see South Africa chasing this down, pitch is playing up a little bit.

JP Duminy has 4 hundreds in ODI cricket in 194 games. 3 of which have come against Zimbabwe and one against the Netherlands. The guy is fraud of epic proportions.

Well that was very encouraging.
Pretty good effort with the bat followed up by a very good effort in the field.
Two big highlights were the all round performance of Ben Stokes (bat, bowl, run out and that catch!) and Joffra Archer.
Early days, but a very good start.

Day 1 of the World Cup, England v South Africa and Channel 4 put the highlights on at 11 o'clock... not exactly great for those of us who work is it?! oh well, catch up tomorrow I suppose.

Pakistan implode against the West Indies. All out for 105 after 21.4 overs - lost their last 7 wickets for just 43 runs !
