- May 31, 2019
South African middle order bat Andile Phehlukwayo looked to have hit a boundary with a full blooded lofted sweep, with the ball looking certain to drop over Stokes's head for a one bounce four. Stokes also top-scored with 89 in a superb display as the hosts earlier posted 8-311 while finishing the match with two wickets in as many balls. "The flow of the innings was affected with Hashim coming off, chasing a big score you need a good start, settled partnerships", Du Plessis said. (more...)

- May 31, 2019
