Third chance is shelled.

This time Compton of finn. We really are throwing the momentum away in this game.

the drops continue...at this rate these 2 will pass stokes and bairstow's partnership.

[smilley792]

They keep rattling on about Anderson and broad changing the field as not wanting to go for runs.


We had a 1st innings lead of 629 runs.

Why on earth would you have anything but 4 slips 2 Tilly's and a short leg until they pass 450??

FFS - sod the fielding changes. Just try hanging on to a catch!!!!!! Dropping 3 catches out of 3 is pathetic at this level of cricket!

[smilley792]

We've held on to one!! Woohoo.

Hopefully the apparent collapse after these two can happen now.....

[smilley792]

At least Jimmy listened to me!!

[Aussie In England]

South Africa have 250+ for that first time in 12 innings

This is a real role reversal!!
In the past it has been SA playing attacking and aggressive innings at decent run rates! And England retreating into their shells and slowing down to almost a stop!! Looking at cricinfo commentary England were aggressive and attacking! And SA innings gone at 2.8 runs per over with the last 10 overs going at 1.7 runs an over! That is definite old school England cricket but played by SA!
Quite funny to look at this reversal of playing styles

And now onto bowl Mr P. Chucka

[smilley792]

Hales looking accurate. And a career economy of 1 so far....

In recent times when South Africa have been under pressure they seem to bat in this dig in for dear life method. But then again when you concede it's probably unwise to go in and try and belt everything

Hales was a bowler who batted 10 until he was 16!

Loving Hales having the time of his life floating some grenades down. I'd like to see him bowl to Stokes mind!
