Morkel makes England pay for lapses
South Africa have become the first side to secure three consecutive victories in the World Twenty20 and is now an indisputable momentum to their campaign. South Africa have become the first side to secure three consecutive victories in the World Twenty20 and there is now an indisputable momentum to their campaign. Admittedly, they haven't yet had to face their demons Australia, or the effervescent strokeplay of the Sri Lankans, but tonight they had to fight back from a tough position against England and in the end came away with a relatively comfortable 19-run win. It draws a line under a sporting weekend of vastly contrasting fortunes for the two countries.

However, the cricket team didn't have it as easy as the rugby players did at the Stade de France on Friday, and they had Albie Morkel to thank for reaching a defendable total. Morkel had demonstrated his batting prowess against Bangladesh, making 41 off 29 balls after being promoted to No. 3. This time he was back in the middle order and it's a role he seems well suited to.

His 43 from 20 balls turned a likely total of 125-135 into a more imposing 154 for 8, and with the appreciable seam movement on offer it was always going to be a testing chase for England. The crucial moment came when he miscued Chris Schofield over midwicket on 14. Paul Collingwood rushed back for the catch, but it would have been an easier effort for Owais Shah coming in from long-on. In the end the ball landed in no-man's land between them.

Morkel then dispatched Schofield's last three balls for sixes of varying vastness and his striking was reminiscent of Lance Klusener in his pomp. Like Klusener he is a left-hander and plays with an uncompromising swing of the bat. Shortly before the Twenty20 he hit 97 while batting at No.3 against Zimbabwe and he has a large role to play in South Africa's limited-overs sides. In the end, those 18 runs - plus the single he salvaged during his reprieve - were the difference between the teams.
