    Can only think it was a lapse of concentration after getting his 50 just before, as the ball did nothing. Oh well, Stokes and Bairstow aren't mugs.

    On the bbc this morning , they said the average score at the end of day 1 at the newlands , was 272-7 .

    They went on to say England would be thinking about 300 -3 !

    Just a worry that Compton , Talyor & Root there their wickets away .

    Apparently winners at this ground are the ones who bowl first....however, they think England chose to bat because the pitch is cracking up.

    Stokes in particular is in a hurry this morning. 45 runs from the first 4 overs of the day! The 150 partnership between Stokes and Bairstow comes up in 148 balls.

    Past 180 goes Stokes. Records tumbling. Highest ever score by an England number 6 seems the most significant.

    Isn't it funny how a sport can change? One minute best team in the world, the next minute being destroyed.

    Who'd have thought in a sport eh?
