England firmly on top now, bat sensible until lunch tomorrow then have dash towards tea then get 4 sessions to finish them off.

Thank God we're not batting last on this pitch

Ali to the rescue

Got to feel that cook and ballance dug a hole by batting so slow.

[rickjames]

I still think we're good with the total we have but 50 more would be nice, this is slowly turning into a minefield

[roco]

Spinning and keeping low from seamers not going to be easy but you'd like 300 plus lead

[csnew]

They have enough with SA's batting line up. If AbD and faf were playing maybe a different story

[Shinpathy]

Nice pair for Dawson

[jamielsn15]

Dawson batting at 8? I reckon thats four places too high...

[petehosk]

It does seem confusing.
Rashid seemed to be batting well and consistently and taking wickets, so unsure why they changed it to play Dawson?
Anyway, you never know....Dawson may now grab a 5-fer!!

So this game is all about the 2 high class batsmen SA have. Amla and de Kock are capable but if this wicket is deteriorating they will have to bat brilliantly!

Last over before tea and Duminy pulls one to mo to get out its now possible this  game will be over today.

[rickjames]

Gifting their wickets, but its great to see Mo bowl with some control, albeit aided by the pitch a little

AMLA GONE

[WalkingWicket37]

I still don't understand why England picked Dawson... 

[petehosk]

Love some of the comentators comments!

"Root won't be happy until he get de Kock out!"
and
"I wonder if they will change the order and push de Kock up"

330 looking like 3030 at the minute.

Trying to think of something bigger than a mountain that one could climb.
