Alex Hales 99 fired England to a five-wicket win over South Africa in Port Elizabeth and a 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series. The opener clubbed fifty in his sides victory in the first ODI in Bloemfontein on Wednesday and carried on that form with a responsible 124-ball knock as the tourists chased down the Proteas 262-7 with 22 balls to spare.Jos Buttler (48no from 28) and Moeen Ali (21no from 15) guided England home after Hales was dismissed - the former on the day he pocketed a bumper IPL contract with Mumbai Indians - with a thrilling stand of 61 in just five overs.Hales, Buttler and Moeen backed up some excellent work with the ball from Reece Topley (4-50), whose career-best figures ensured South Africas innings lost its spark following the departure of skipper AB de Villiers (73). Reece Topleys four wickets restricted South Africa to 262-7 Topley bowled Hashim Amla (4) off his pads in the third over, leaving Quinton de Kock (22), who made an unbeaten 138 from 96 balls in Bloemfontein, and Faf du Plessis (46) to rebuild for the hosts with a second-wicket stand of 49.De Kock perished lbw to Ben Stokes in the 11th over, with Du Plessis next to go in the 20th, caught by Chris Jordan at slip off a gorgeous in-drifter from Adil Rashid (1-43), having added 45 with De Villiers. Watch this brilliant catch from Chris Jordan to dismiss AB de Villiers during the second ODI between South Africa and England. Rashids fellow spinner Moeen Ali (0-41) was equally tight in the middle period as he and Rashid ensured the 106-run partnership between De Villiers and JP Duminy (47) hinged on well-worked singles rather than boundaries, De Villiers notching his 48th ODI fifty from a sedate 72 deliveries with a flick into the on-side.The South Africa skipper tried to accelerate as the final 10 overs approached but, after mowing Jordan for six over midwicket, departed to an outstanding, swirling catch from the Sussex seamer off Stokes, the man who pouched him superbly in Bloemfontein a few days ago. Stokes celebrates dismissing de Villiers in Port Elizabeth Duminy, dropped down the leg-side by Buttler on 35, was dismissed three balls later, though the left-hander was unfortunate to go with Topleys delivery sliding down leg side.South Africa stumbled at that point, scoring just 46 from the last eight overs, with Topley having Rilee Rossouw (11) caught behind by Buttler on review - third umpire Chris Gaffaney deciding the batsman had hit ball as well as ground - and Kagiso Rabada (12) snared by Eoin Morgan. Chris Jordan chats to Nick Knight Nasser Hussain about his superb catch during the second ODI Jason Roy (14) entertained briefly for England as they began their reply, striking three boundaries off the fit-again Kyle Abbott (3-58) before the seamer, who shelled a sharp caught and bowled chance to remove the opener for a duck, bowled him through the gate with a superb in-swinger.Joe Root had a scare, too, when he was given out lbw to the returning Rabada on three but his review proved successful, with Hawk-Eye suggesting the ball would have bypassed leg stump.The Yorkshireman went on to play a dogged knock while partnering the slightly more expansive Hales, hitting just two boundaries in the pairs 97-run stand for the second wicket before chopping Abbott onto his stumps. Alex Hales hit a vital 99 in Englands victory Hales started pretty placidly himself but sped up as he approached fifty, a milestone he reached from 68 balls, before flicking Abbott into De Kocks gloves down the leg-side as he eyed a second ODI ton, his only one to date coming against Pakistan in November.Buttler and Moeen finished proceedings with aplomb, though - Buttler cracking three sixes in a row off Imran Tahir and Moeen sealing the win with successive fours off Morne Morkel. We hear from AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales after Englands win over South Africa in the second ODI. Morgans partnership of 52 with Hales proved valuable, with the skippers 29 seeing him become the ninth batsman to pass 4,000 ODI runs for England, after Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Alec Stewart, Kevin Pietersen, Marcus Trescothick, Graham Gooch, Andrew Strauss and Allan Lamb.Stokes had a day to forget with the bat, though, chopping Morkel on for a six-ball duck during which time his penchant for sweeping spinner Tahir almost saw him fall twice lbw.Will England secure the series in Centurion on Tuesday?

Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Travis-Frederick-Jersey/ .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Benson-Mayowa-Jersey/ . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Lp-Ladouceur-Jersey/ . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Jaylon-Smith-Jersey/ .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. This is the farthest Yoo Ryu Sang-ook has gone at a World Championship. Hes been on some of the best teams to never make the international stage in the past, including the KT Rolster roster.Now with H2K Gaming, hes made it to the tournament two years consecutively. Last time it ended in heartbreak, as the team lost to Fakers SK Telecom T1 in the group stages before getting eliminated. In 2016, however, Ryu will possibly have another chance at playing Faker in a best-of-five format if the two teams meet in the next few weeks.ESPN talked to Ryu after his teams tiebreaker victory over Chinas Edward Gaming to secure the top spot in Group C.I was happy even coming to Worlds twice in a row, he said. But getting out of groups, as first seed, is the best feeling. From last years tournament, I had a lot of regrets because I got eliminated during group stage. But this year, its even better because I got out of groups and as first seed.I actually never thought that I was playing badly, he said when asked how he was able to pick himself up from his lowest point to return as one of the worlds premier talents in the mid lane. I thought I was performing as well as before [on KT], and I just practice a lot.Ryus career has been filled with great moments but has little hardware to show for it. He has never won a domestic championship, and this is the first time hes made it to the bracket stage of a major Riot Games tournament. Even though people doubted H2Ks abiliity to qualify, this year could be Ryus chance to rewrite his legacy.ddddddddddddast year, when I first played with Forgiven, there were some issues with him [and] playing as a team, he said. But this year a lot of those issues were solved and thats why were playing better and better as a team.My ultimate goal is to win [Worlds], he said. I would feel really good. Up until now, Ive had a lot of second-places and Ive played in a lot of third/fourth-place matches, so definitely winning Worlds would mean a lot to me.On a possible rematch with Faker, Ryu laughed, simply saying: Im not too close to Faker, so theres not much to say to him [if we meet again]. But if I had to pick some words out to say, Id [tell him], Lets have fun today.Finally, I asked about his former team, KT Rolster, who were inches (and possibly two hit points against the ROX Tigers) from making the World Championships. As the last remnant of the best team not attending Worlds in the competition, I asked if he had any words for his friends cheering him on back in his old home.So actually before I came here, the KT Rolster players were like, Youre going to get eliminated, anyways, so they were planning our vacation plans. But I think we have to postpone those plans a bit now, so I just hope once I get back to Korea we can all go out on vacation together.
