is the pitch that flat or have neither side been good enough to take 20 wickets on it?
I think the likes of Johnson and Starc could take wickets similar to what they done at Lords last year, take the pitch out of the equation and aim for the stumps using raw pace!

Well South Africa's attack had three bowlers with 10 caps between them. Might've been a different story if Steyn and Philander where playing.

Similarly with England you ain't winning too many matches if you drop 9 catches

very true

I sort of want bavuma to get a ton now as would be good for the young lad

can't see amla declaring at all as the bowlers may lynch him if he did

This pitch calling out for a leg spinner.

600 plays 600. Much rather have a pitch turning from day 1 and the test match ending in 3 days then this pitch!

I wonder if SA could shuffle their pack for centurion with de Kock opening so they can play 5 bowlers

Hold the press England have held a catch! Debutant Chris Morris goes for 69. Finn gets a deserving wicket. 7/616

South Africa, somewhat incredibly, had zero 100 run partnerships in 2015. They've racked up 3 in this innings.

Historic century for Temba Bavuma, the first ethnic black South African to register a Test hundred. Brilliant innings.

Not sure why Amla declared, should have continued to bat. No chance of a result.
