This is brutal by England. Buttler gone for 83 off 30 balls

Salt is 78 off 28 balls

166/1 off 10 overs!

 

[darlowolf64]

100 for Salt off 39 balls, quickest ton by an English batter. Previous best 42 balls by Livingston

 

[darlowolf64]

England finish on 304/2 off their 20 overs

Salt with the highest T20 score of 141 off 60 balls, by an England batter

 

[darlowolf64]

And England win by 146 runs, a record win for England and South Africa's biggest defeat in a T20

Notts in a strong position vs Surrey. Win this and they're in the box seat to lift the title.

They need to build a decent lead this afternoon as the forecast for tomorrow is crap. Home to Warwickshire in their last game.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

223 in front now, six down. If they can get it to 300+ I make them favourites.

Had a couple of shocking LBWs earlier which hampered them too. One was Joe Clarke so I’ll let the umpire off with that one but the 2nd left them 50 odd for 5 so it was a great recovery by Notts.

Come on Notts.

Well done Josh Tongue and Notts. I’m not a fan of Notts but I don’t like Surrey keep winning the County Championship.

Warwickshire stand between them and the title next week.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well done Notts. I'm very much in the Anyone But Surrey club - much like United in the 90s, it's not healthy to just have one team (who have way more money than anyone else) win all the time.

Tongue was very very good today, he will leak boundaries at times but he's got something about him.

Warwickshire have only won 3 games all season and a draw is almost certainly enough for Notts.

Huge result for Notts. Now trying to rearrange next week so I can catch some of the game.

Question marks over whether Tongue will play next week as England have only released him for two. Hopefully they agree and they can reduce his load in the ODI series in NZ if needed.
