Throw in the fact that England have a better and far fresher idea of conditions at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, and it isn't difficult to see why they might be the more bullish side on Friday. But not by much: South Africa have broken the shackles put on them by the pitches in their first four games in the tournament, in Nassau County and Arnos Vale, and will be difficult to becalm now that that has happened.

Both teams have quality attacks, but this match is shaping up as a buffet of barrelling, burgeoning, just plain big batting. That's as much a comment on the likely conditions as it is on the players involved. Put those two factors together at the same time in the same place, and take cover.
