DS Talk » his expectations for the crunch clash

Nasser Hussain says Englands latest one-day international win in South Africa will give them as much pleasure as any of their most recent successes. England won by five wickets in Port Elizabeth, chasing down 263, to win their fifth-straight ODI - their best record since 2012 - and take a 2-0 lead in their series against South Africa.Reece Topley was the standout performer with ball-in-hand, taking an ODI-best 4-50, while Alex Hales struck 99 with the bat, and Jos Buttler followed up his hundred in the first ODI with an unbeaten 48 from 28 balls to see England home. That win will give England just as much pleasure, if not more, as some of their previous wins in the last year, when theyve blasted 390, 400, said Hussain. We hear from AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales after Englands win over South Africa in the second ODI. They had to adapt their game, adapt to conditions. Hales in particular had to adapt the way he plays, Topley the way he bowls.The ball Topley bowled to dismiss Hashim Amla - one of the great players of world cricket - set the tone.Topley will have grown up watching Amla smash every side around the world, and to bowl a delivery like that with the new ball set the tone.South Africas opening bowlers in the first game didnt set the tone, Englands did here. Then Topley came into his own towards the end of the innings with his cutters and wide yorkers.They werent bossing the game at that stage, with South Africa 205-3 after 40 overs, they could have easily got hit for 280, 290, and then England would have been struggling. Nasser Hussain rolled back the years, got the pads back on and took part in a training session with the England boys. So a lot of credit has to go to the side, not only the skill they showed, but they had to dig deep as well.Hales changed his tempo depending on who was at the other end. He sat in and realised he didnt have to get a run-a-ball hundred.He is a really good one-day player, and he already has more runs after two matches in this series than he had in the Test series.When he is playing one-day cricket, he is always looking to attack, looking to be positive, and so in defence he is also positive.That is twice now Hales has been out for 99 - he was out for the same score in a T20I at Trent Bridge - but he will have taken that when he went out to bat.And even when he was out and England lost a couple of wickets, Eoin Morgan comes, in, Moeen Ali comes in, and the freak that is Buttler, who smashes it and takes the game away. It was great to watch. Will England secure the series in Centurion on Tuesday? Find out from 11am on Sky Sports 2.

The prolific Swede is expected to be the chief obstacle in Citys way at the Etihad Stadium and will be determined to make up for a mixed night in France last week. Zlatan willing to join United Zlatan Ibrahimovic could join Man Utd, if Louis van Gaal leaves - Sky sources Ibrahimovic scored and hit the crossbar but also missed a penalty and spurned another good chance when put clean through in the thrilling 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes. The 34-year-old has had a fine season, netting 30 goals in Ligue 1 for the runaway champions. He is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has been linked with a move to England, most recently with Citys rivals Manchester United. Blanc hopes PSG can reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time But Blanc says he expects Ibrahimovic to be back at his sharpest for a crucial night which could see the club reach the last four of Europes elite club competition for the first time in their history.Were always a bit surprised when Zlatan misses a chance but when youre a top goalscorer like him, you can miss a couple, said Blanc.Unfortunately for us he missed them in that game. He still scored though and hes someone who is extremely demanding of himself.He wants to show something else tomorrow, he wants to be more clinical in front of goal. If we create as many chances as the first leg, I think his conversion rate will be a lot higher. Ibrahimovic equalised for PSG in the first leg Expanding on his expectations for the crunch clash, Blanc said there was not a lot to choose between the teams from an attacking point of view but knows improvements are necessary.ddddddddddddHe said: Weve analysed the first game and looked at the errors we made. There was too wide a gap between players, we were not compact enough and opened too much space for City.When you think of the players theyve got, particularly going forward, they can create problems for a lot of teams, not just us. Bacary Sagna knows how tough it will be for Manchester City to stop PSG scoring in their Champions League quarter final second-leg We need to perform at the highest possible level, a higher level than the first game. PSG are capable of qualifying but we know how difficult it will be.I would still like us to create as many chances as we created last week because I am pretty sure we would score a fair few more.Follow Man City v PSG on skysports.com and via the Sky Sports apps.
