The immovable blocker clipped a terrible shot straight to midwicket...

Stokes to blaze a ton in the second session and England to declare and bowl SA out after tea, you heard it here first!

I'm with you mate but you missed the word "double" before ton haha

A wobble on a "batting paradise"...wonder if this is enough to make Michael Vaughan suspicious of foul play....

Should England lose this one it will be a first can't think of any other  test match where 600  plus  runs have been scored in the 1st inning and the team have gone on to lose the match.

England making it interesting both Cook and Hales gone early doors.

Again! Are people going to start asking questions about Captain C again he seems to be struggling a bit in the last couple of tests.

[RoCo Da Pixie]

Trust England to fold like a pack of cards. 6 down for 116.


Could the Saffa's get a win here?

Or Mo for that matter, if he saves us I'll stop saying that I'd rather have Rashid for at least the duration of this series!

How come SA don't pick Imran Tahir anymore...is he too old?? He'd be all over us in this situation alongside the offie

You're kidding right? He scored 260 odd just 8 weeks ago. And scored 1300 runs in 2015.

Better players than Cook have struggled in South Africa eg Dravid

this could come down to the Watford wall or burnley lara

got to love being an England fan

Exactly. People who doubt Cook want their heads examined, him and Warner are the best openers in test cricket by a country mile at the moment and have been for a few years.

if we get around 180-200 (long way off) I think we may see a different batting order from SA with de cock and de Villiers up the order to have a dart

could be an exciting finish

Think they'd open with QdK and Amla then ABDV. Three of the premier ODI batsmen.
