Summary

Jonathan Agnew is joined by Tymal Mills and Andy Zaltzman to look at England’s five-wicket win over South Africa in the first T20 at Cape Town, helped by Jonny Bairstow’s brutal career-best 86 not out. But is number four where Bairstow should be batting? Tymal Mills explains why he should always be one of the first names on the teamsheet, but it’s a mixed day for the Curran family as Sam shines, but Tom has trouble. And Tymal praises the bowling action of a fellow left-arm quick… former England goalkeeper Joe Hart.

0:45.3	which is never usually a good place to be in,
0:47.0	but with this England batting line up,
0:48.7	you never out the game in Ben Stokes and Johnny Beasto in particular proved that tonight.
0:53.1	It's interesting, isn't it? Because we all know that Beasto wants to open.
