Not as far as tennis is concerned I said that partnership needed breaking about 80 runs ago and Cooke dropped a ****ing catch
looked like he was on his heels and didn't give himself a chance to catch it. SA dug in in those ideal conditions and barely scored. but they are now bang on target for where they need to be.
broads got amla!!! hook shot to deep is fielded. He's been bowling wide bouncers at him all day... not sure that was was very wide as it was fairly well hit... just in air and wood caught it Now we haves a chance again.
broad on 3 for.... that 5 for might be broad not anderson now... but anything could happen if we can take advantage now.
stokes strikes but its under review...deffo gloved imo... gloved then hip.... 100% Du plessis is gone. 220/5
RHC was right earlier... 66th over and no spin. there was a brief look much earlier and frankly the was little to no movement or spin so they have stood there looking sheepish. 5th seamer would have been useful here.
wow massive inside edge from philander.. so thick it his his leg and bounced out rather than just feathering to stumps.
Yeah I think they showed mental strength to hold on before lunch, won that lunch to tea session and then rallied at end again to be what I would call just par for day. Real fight there.
andersons got the 5 for... after being on 1`he took 4 for 2 or something. unplayable by the tail england got the ball changed so SA will be very unhappy. Difficult batting conditions now.
very difficult conditions today. very tough... ballance and root now 49/2 i think you want to really go try score here and not be TOO defensive. You need to see out morkel but you need to score. A big root score would be ideal
id be happy to get 40 out of ballance here. he's on 20. roots n 35 so we will see. its lunch coming up and after that theres going to be a period of danger.... ballance will prob **** it then
Oh look even I could call that one. 27 out of the lad... root is doing his job beautifully right now Need 100 partnership now.
