GAME ON

[Aussie In England]

At the end of day 3 Anderson was still running in and touching 139kph. He operates between 130-140 most of the time. If Root could catch he would of had ab fairly early on.

But Anderson is only bowling 4 over spells. He's hardly express that he'd be shot to pieces bowling longer spells

Well I saw the spell last evening and it was 6 overs. Given the amount of bowling they have had to do and the heat I don't think short spells are a bad thing. Not like its a Trent bridge green top on a overcast cold day - he would be doing 10 over spells then!

It's the game right here. Get Bavuma and QdK out and get a lead of 150. If they stay in both are quick scoring and could eat into that lead.

Much as it upsets me to agree with the Aussie fellow, I do think Anderson has looked a bit insipid and tender so far.

QdK gone to Broad. 6/449. 180 behind

[Aussie In England]

Tea on day 4 South Africa have reached 6/525. Trailing by 104 runs. Bavuma has 50* and Morris 24*. Entertaining partnership of 76 runs.

Draw looks nailed on but id SA can get a lead of 50-70 they could put some pressure on England late on day 5.

well hopefully nip them out by the morning for around par then bat tomorrow out with Hales and Cook getting some time in the middle must be the plan

[Aussie In England]

Pitch is crying out for a half decent leg spinner.

[uknsaunders]

When England declared I wondered if batting an hour after tea on day 2 wasn't better. The rate they were going, another 150 was possible and you would of avoided England having to bat out day 5. 700-750 sounds overkill but SA are creeping up to parity now.

Are we bothered at this point? It was always going to be either skittle them or they'd grind it out for a draw like they're doing now...

I don't think many people thought SA would reach Eng's total with the attack we have but it just shows how flat the deck has gotten being cooked for 4 days. Lets hope they don't set a total then us capitulate catastrophically tomorrow

[Aussie In England]

England have shelled around 7-9 chances so far. Bavuma dropped by Bairstow

[roco]

is the pitch that flat or have neither side been good enough to take 20 wickets on it?
