Key events
Salt breeze 19 balls fifty
9th on: England 150-1 (Salt 62, Bethell 2) It is now officially crazy. Salt – which was overshadowed by buttler despite a score at a striking pace of Two hundred and forty – Assumes the main role and poor Mangles Old Lisaad Williams for 20 from four legal deliveries. Six on Midwicket, four in mid-term, six on extra-coverage, four long long.
Somewhere in all this salt, increased relatively fifty of 19 bullets.
8th on: England 126-1 (Salt 41, Bethell 1)
TICKET OFFICE! England 126-1 (Buttler C Stubbs B Fortin 83)
Buttler pumps two other six off fortune – for a long time and Midwicket, I think, although they start to blur in one – before cracking a hockey stroke on the square deeply, where Tristan Stubbs takes a sharp plug while he falls back.
Buttler goes to a standing ovation, which cannot have too often had a player who faced 30 deliveries and beat only 35 minutes. At that time, Buttleler struck eight four and seven six, most of them with strange serenity.
7th on: England 112-0 (Salt 40, Buttler 70) Jansen returns, with the additional security of having five Out-Ah fields, forget it. Salt pulls it flat and hard for six; Buttler makes room to play a crossed forehand between an additional coverage and halfway for four. He has 70 of 26 bullets.
Hang on, 70 to 26 balls !!!
England marks 100 in record power
6th on: England 100-0 (Salt 33, Buttler 65) The teenage seamstress of the left arm Kwena Maphaka is invited to do something, anything. He starts well, conceding two of his first three bullets. And then he too is at close range: a slap through the covers is followed by a devastating shift on the ground for six.
This raises England Houd in Six Overs. It is comfortably their highest power score, beating the 89 for 3 that they marked against South Africa in a classic world T20 match in Mumbai nine years ago. On this occasion, England hunted 230 to win; South Africa is faced with a similar target.
Buttler Wallops 18-Ball fifty
5th above: England 88-0 (Salt 32, Buttler 54) Rabada returns to the attack and went on the ground for six by buttler. Three four successives bring buttler to a 50 exhilarating of 18 bullets. He agitates his bat on the ground, then pushes his head to greet his late father.
The second of these three four tried halfway, which plunged in order to take a weak take but was beaten by the diving on the ball.
I’m not even sure that South Africa has been going wrong, you know; It was a surprising assault on the openers of England.
Fifty partnership in 3.2 Overs
4th on: England 68-0 (Salt 31, Buttler 35) The left arm spinner Bjorn Fortin assumes the position. Salt pulls it for four to raise the fifty partnership in just 3.2 overs; Buttler leads to successive deliveries in the middle of six and four. Remember when a six was an event?
Fortin tries to slow down your pace with the last ball of the end. Buttler awaits and waits and clubs exactly in the same area for four others. He has 35 balls, salt 31 of 10. He is not an exaggeration to say that England could obtain 500 here.
The first of Williams disappears for 23
3rd on: England 48-0 (Salt 26, Buttler 20) The new launcher Lizaad Williams begins with two good deliveries-after which his figures are 0.2-0-12-0. Buttler pulled the first ferociously for six, even if he was not particularly short and made room to explode the second on long.
Two large and only one are followed by successive limits for salt, a traction and a wide edge of the goalkeeper. Some begin, this.
2nd on: England 25-0 (Salt 18, Buttler 7) Kagiso Rabada begins at the other end. Jos Buttler directs his first ball between the shift and the Gully for four, a stroke, but Rabada the silent guard for the rest of the end.
1st on: England 18-0 (Salt 18, Buttler 0) Phil Salt was released for a golden duck in Cardiff. In Old Trafford, he hit the three balls of the match for four, as if it was normal behavior, then club the last delivery on the head of Marco Jansen for six. A good start for England.
Time for business. Marco Jansen will open the bowling in Phil Salt.
“It is a sunny evening after floods yesterday”, “ Writes Tanya Alloud, who is in Old Trafford. “The party stand looks a little sad – only about 15% full for the moment.”

Preamble
It’s Friday, it’s 6 p.m., it’s time to not rain in Manchester. After T20’s most soggy matches in Cardiff on Wednesday, England and South Africa hope for a real 20 -Overs match tonight. There is a chance of showers later – go, it is in September in Manchester – but the signs are much better than they were 48 hours ago.
England needs a victory to avoid a second defeat of the white series against South Africa. It is a slightly bizarre sentence to write since the series has only 12.5 overs. But South Africa has managed the strangeness and the conditions much better Wednesday, so if they gain again in a more orthodox match this evening, England can have no complaints.
The match begins at 6.30 p.m.
