Going along nicely. Hales looking a bit edgy but has got to 50. Just needs to calm down a bit now. In 20/20 news Luke Wright for another 100 in big bash. He's a star over there, how he doesn't get in the England team is beyond me.
Nearly lost another, dropped in the slips, althoigh would have been a cracking catch if it had stuck.
Compton goes just before tea, and tea is Called mid over because of it.... first at ball after few,Taylor goes for big off drive and edges to keeper. 167-2 turns to 167-4 time for the collapse?
Had a lie in today.... Woke up and saw the score and missed all the excitement about Stokes! Sounds like a ridiculously good innings. Got it on now and just smashed another 6 to bring up 250
Stokes you melon! whacks one in the air, AB drops it.. But Stokes is just walking in the middle and then gets run out!
With Amla dropped this morn and DV dropped yesterday On the plus side they have found it harder to score this morn and they may well collapse again if we do squeeze out these two.
Looks like will be a draw. They said yesterday that the wicket isn't a batsmen as paradise but it's looking that way.
i reckon this one looks to be heading to a draw as follow on is highly likely to be avoided now. its a rather pointless exercise aside from someone doing what Stokes did as the rest of the test is basically just back fill. the batting track is what it is.
England won't enforce follow on anyway even if they could, bowlers been out in field a while so will need a break
