Well that's probably not what South Africa wanted, Pakistan esque run out gets the first wicket.

Crazy! Panic already!!
And now the out of form Amla next in.
I think that people are right.....Amla should not be Captain - he should be concentrating on getting form back with his batting! SA need him to get his form back!

Van Zyl must have been watching Marlon Samuels last night

Ab using Kookaburra

[WalkingWicket37]

He bats, he bowls, and is fun in the field.
I have no issue admitting I have a man crush on Benji Stokes!

Elgar gone, good catch by Compton.
AB De Villiers in, using Kookaburra kit

About time Stokes did sometging in this game instead of letting the rest of the team carry him 😂

And de villiers dropped in the slips.

The 2 best batsmen are in now (when on form obviously!) so this is the game right here!
If they stay in, then the Saffas will have a chance of saving this Test! Plus Amla may start to find his class form again, which is always dangerous!!
So this next 20/30 overs is going to be important period for the Test and possibly the series.

Bairstow and Stokes partnership of 399   is second highest for England  to the  411 scored by Colin  cowdrey and Peter May in 1957.

What a great days test cricket. Stokes may be a feast or famine cricketer but when he comes off, it's seriously good entertainment, also proving his worth as an all rounder getting a good wicket in Elgar who can really dig in.
