Field does look far too defensive given the game situation. I left we better on far too long yesterday with a period of time being taken out of the game for no real purpose but the benefit to sitting on such a large score should be that you can set more attacking fields.

TBF, I don't think anyone would have backed SA to play like this.

Bess now has to demonstrate he can take wickets as a spinner though.. Now's his time...

I don't get why we set defensive fields for vd Dussan. I know QdK does the brain fade moments but we should surround vd Dussan as well

surround them both... so many runs to play with who cares if they score runs..

So I hate sledging but in this situation it's fine.. In a test when saving a game etc.. Limited overs though.. utterly pointless as the batter will give it away anyway as they have to biff so sledging is pointless...

we have to have as many as possible in catching positions, we have asked them to score I don't know, maybe a world record score to win at 0-1 down

having said that if SA get off the field with a draw you have to congratulate them

What�s this rubbish about 4 day test matches - this ones going to the final session

Agreed that root�s captaincy is extremely poor with men on the boundaries

FINALLY they surround the bat and a chance created.. Well batted SA.. Well done England... Game on.

SA Top six really has played good Test cricket and England have been decent as well. Please please just attack more with the field .. runs utterly irrelevant .

I have to say I'm enjoying seeing this game as it's good test cricket and not just a one day style game.

You do.. Plus we have to ask why we couldn't take the wickets too mind.. Always got to ask why you couldn't win.

draw is a good result for both sides, neither currently deserves to win or lose this game. Would you have preferred to see a minefield and easy pray for bowlers? or a 'counter attack' and gifting wickets?

sounds like Jimmy sadly is injured.

If he is, are we going to let him keep recovering and coming back half injured? At 37 he's only ever going to take longer to recover and then gain match fitness? I'm not saying retire him but again.. it's worth considering as he's now not made it through more than one entire game in a loooong time now... (8 months is it?)
