Proteas gotta ensure we avoid the follow on.

Anything can happen in the third dig

I don't think Clarke will enforce either if it comes to it - I think as a strategy they like to rest the bowlers and have them rearing to go after a break while the batsmen go out again - I think the underlying thinking is also that it will prevent bowlers from breaking down, which has been a big problem for the Aussies in the recent past.

To be fair, that was a quality catch!
The bowling was average, the shot wasn't great, but the catch was superb.
You can't keep him out of this match! If he's not taking wickets by bowling, then he's taking catches like that! It's that facial hair.....everyone knows! It obviously gives him super powers  ;)

It rests on AB with this match....tons of pressure. And if they get AB, and SA don't reach the follow-on target, what does Clarke do? Make them follow on or make them bat on days 4/5?
It was a good catch, but it's always a matter of time until Duminy loses the plot against an off spinner...

I do sometimes wonder what happened to JP, remember all that promise he showed on debut in Australia, he was then promising to be next big thing in world cricket, hasn't quite panned out.

Bit like Raina, doesn't fancy the short stuff.

If you've got pace and you bomb him, his footwork goes to pieces.

You would think though that these guys could sort it out. I haven't followed JP's career as closely, but Raina has had troubles for years now and is still pretty pathetic against it.

Back to match, SA in trouble - 6 down. AB might run out of partners before the follow on mark.

Players like Raina are lucky with the advent of the IPL.

Go out have a slog get paid £1m.

Why bother sorting you game out?

Petersen's hoping around looking a little bit scared right now... still at 95mph I would be doing a Zaheer myself and getting the hell out of the way

Well played AB, another Test 50.

Looked incredible today, even more remarkable as he's barely had a knock after he had surgery on his hand.

Gotta love Johnson's slower ball, still quicker than half of England's attack..........

Well batted so far ABV but you didn't pick that and it looked like it hurt! Not good
