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.
Gun fielder too!

At a point in the innings Stokes & Bairstow were going at almost 7 runs an over. SA fast bowlers - Rabada and Morris have no clue on what to do when pushed to a corner. All they did was kept banging the ball on the deck ...

Root dropped one of Jimmy
Jimmy drops one of root


Both of these could have been back in the shed. Catches win matches they say.

Even with 2 and a half days still to go it's hard to see a result, probably need to follow on to have time and that'll leave the bowlers knackered. Worth a shot though with a decent break between the tests and a 5 man attack.

By the sounds of it, we'll have to bowl SA out, as we keep dropping them!!

England are just sitting in for the time being, waiting for the new ball and hoping the track might start to mis-behave. Add 2 wickets to the score and things won't look so good for SA. I suspect the afternoon session will be the key session today. England knock over these two plus a couple more and it's game on.

I stuck 25 on a draw towards the end of day one so that'll do me :)

South Africans premier duos racking up the landmarks thus far on day 3. AB moves passed 8000 Test runs and Amla moved passed 7000 quickly followed up by moving to his 24th Test hundred. The bearded monk is back in business.
