#1 South African finishers get a workout
David Miller and Chris Morris are South Africa's assigned men with the willow in the death overs. They do have the likes of Dwaine Pretorius and Andile Phehlukwayo to assist them but Morris and Miller would prefer finishing games on their own. The duo had a warm-up task in front of them as Morris joined Miller with 65 needed off 39 balls.
Morris deposited any length balls delivered at him while Miller had already compiled a fine half-century. Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett were steaming in, but Miller and Morris found ways to get boundaries and keep the target within view.
Morris slammed a six off Wood's last ball of the penultimate over and Miller deposited Jake Ball over long-off next ball to put South Africa in the driver's seat. However, the duo failed to get seven in the last over from an immaculate Mark Wood.
