From the BBC live text:
Quote
Tim Paine had a word with Joe Root in between overs there.Both players went wandering away from the stump mic, but Root looked thoroughly irked at him and Handscomb, and Smith asked Root what was up.

Anyone who's watching able to shed any light on what's going on? ???

Brave choice of nightwatchman.

He was arguably England's best batsman in the first innings, just ask @Seniorplayer

Bit of a nut from Cummings.

Good grit and determination from Malan but we need more from a No5, keeps getting starts but hasn’t converted any telling scores in any of the tests he has played in.

Indeed, I like the idea that if he survives the night we basically have a batter in tomorrow when we start again, but if he gets done tonight it's a much bigger loss than say Anderson.

Woakes does have previous of volunteering to be night watchman as he sees it as his best chance of batting higher, big fan of that attitude.

Another test/day with a big first hour/session.

England survive the first hour unscathed, the win could be possible. lose 1 (root) I think it'll be over quickly.

Been a great 2nd test, really came to life after Smith decided not to follow on and wickets fell under lights.

176-4 at stumps
England need 177 with 6 wickets in hand.
Knife edge stuff. 2nd new nut could be the deciding factor in this one

You don't get this kind of excitement in T20's do you!

Nobody wants 4day test matches!

Be a poor show if this was a draw. Because it stops now. The 5th day is important.


Be a big innings from England to win still. Lots of runs needed. But even getting close would be good for moral. We never looked like being close to Smith started making dodgy decisions......
