Right Arm Rapid. Keep going son, might just catch someone napping you never know! As long as he's not going for runs.

Right then.

Looks like 9 wickets in 3 days. Off which 2 were run outs.


How long till the pitch is questioned etc. like Trent bridge was a while back(in the game I believe Gary Ballance and Alastair Cook was bowling)

England shelled a few catches, which had they been taken, South African could've been following on.

Very good point.


Oh well let's see what next two days bring. South Africa not scoring quick enough to go past us and out au under pressure.
So see if England can get another 7 tomorrow morning. Bat for a session then have another crack......


It be a draw though

as good as stokes and JB batted, and it was brilliant, you can't bat like that unless the pitch is an absolute belter,so it was always tough going getting 20 wickets on it. England have shelled a couple thou which hav'nt helped

Doffed Cap to Amla, he may not be one of the best captains out there but he has some backbone the way he has batted.

TBH I think South Africa would be happy, in a sense, to get within 100 runs of England but batting until tea tomorrow.

Listened to Radio 5 live on my laptop for 30 minutes and I'm bored @&$#less already!
If I had of paid good money to see this live, I would have gone to the bar and drunk myself stupid by now.
Time to listen to another radio station before I fall asleep at my desk  ???

South Africa's wheelhouse(Amla, ABDV and FdP)getting back into form. Could be revitalised if Steyn and Philander are fit for the last two Tests.

This has probably been said before somewhere, but does anyone know who Faf Du Plessis is sponsored by?

There's never been an individual 300 in South Africa, maybe Amla is eyeing that up...
