Finally a century ... first one for England in this series.

Completely the opposite of the barmy army?

You may have a better team but your fans are poor in comparison. Jealousy gets you nowhere

Class from Malan, determination but played his shots throughout

Well done Malan, a fantastic knock and what a way to bring up your ton - smashing a pull right out of the middle.

Very well deserved, he's looked the most assured of the new guys in the top 5 for me. Hopefully this will give him lots of confidence to push on and get a big one tomorrow and also cement his place in the team going forward.

Yes Dawid! He's got some bottle this lad, I wrote him off as a white ball wonder when he was first included in the test squad but he's proving folk wrong.

Is the consensus that Cook is done? He might be (or have just lost the desire which amounts to the same) but part of me says that he's always been a player who's gone through really bad trots and real purple patches.
Regardless of what happens On this tour
If Cook still wants to play  for England he will.

And rightly so too, especially considering the lack of viable alternatives.

Another nail on head
Doesn't matter that he's not doing what he's paid for
There's no replacement!!!

Especially at his exceptional level

All goes back to ecb in my view

Well batted dawid, is he welsh?
Finally a hundred on a pitch from back in the day quick

Sometimes going back to the 70’s is best .
Bit like the first net at dummer-off a length and over the keeper @WalkingWicket37

He's a saffer isn't he, at least he grew up there and his old man is one.

The last test was the first time since 2003 all 11 players for England were born in England

Same 11 for this test

He’s English

Surely they were in the first test too? Ball's 'proper' English isn't he?

He's certainly part English, unlike plenty of others in the past.

Still half Saffer by birth and played his first 1st class games there as a home player. His sister plays Hockey for them too I think.

He was born in roehampton-down the road from me

Gutsy knock today

Anyone else think Stoneman has done really well?
He’s an old fashioned opener and they were bowling quick on that track today

Yes, oops, the point still stands though,

I find it incredible that this is the first occurrence in 14 years though

really impressed with stoneman, one thing concerns me is that he has reminded me a lot of carberry on this tour, not sure why possibly because hes the opener that is standing up at the minute.
