Hello and welcome to the third T20I between England and South Africa. It’s England’s last home match of a long international summer… but cricket waits for no one and they’ll touch down in Ireland for a short white ball series that begins on Wednesday. Just in case you were worried about having withdrawal symptoms.
Jacob Bethell will captain them for that series but Harry Brook remains at the helm for today’s fixture, if the weather relents and they can get a game on in Notttingham that is.
The radar looks a bit grim currently, which is a shame as the series is tied one apiece after the five over soggy slogathon went the Proteas way in Cardiff and Phil Salt’s record breaking century at Old Trafford levelled things up for England.
I’ll be back shortly to bring you news of the teams and the toss, not to mention that pesky weather. Please do get in touch with your thoughts, theories and ruminations on the universe. We might need them.
