@FattusCattus the lack of yorkers to tailenders seems to have been an England plan for about a decade now. Hugely frustrating.

Has anyone in the history of sports commentary loved the sound of his own voice more than Mark Nicholas?

Yes Micheal Vaughan, good captain, very good player but would eat himself if he was a chocolate bar.

We are all still grateful for 2005 but look at the bowling and batting attack he had to use.
Great captains often have match winners in their teams.

Harmison at his best
Jones
Hoggard
Flintoff
Giles did a bit..
Tres
Strauss
Bell

What is the point in Curran bowling left arm round? He got all his wickets in the first innings bowling over and snicking players off. Just doesn’t make any sense.

This is so, so poor. All the talk before the NZ tests about a new direction; it's the same stagnant crap as before

Bored now so predictions for our batting effort (in carded order)

Burns scratch around for 20-30 Nick off to a good ball
Sibley - dig in good application bowled/caught behind working to leg
Denly - digs in well looks the best 40-50 and out
Root - looks class for 15 caught wafting/fishing outside off
Stokes - 70 odd in rear guard effort out late on
Bairstow gets 5-10 bowled through the gate
Buttler - Nick off early driving
Curran - quick fire 25 caught out hitting
Archer - out early
Broad - why bother
Anderson - 0*

God! This whole side needs an (No Swearing Please)-firework!!!!

No-one looks interested! Get this last wicket, and then please let's have a batsman who goes after them rather than grubbing around for a painful defeat!

Archer should thank the umpire for that 5 wicket haul

Lead past 360 now. SA have plenty.

Bairstow with a catch, does he merit a knighthood for that?

Umpire Gaffaney has gone from a top umpire into an absolutely dreadful one

Even if the balance is still very firmly in SA's favour, encouraging to see England playing with some intent.

Decent start from the openers so far. Pitch not doing as much as day 2
