**** root gone for 78... playing where they wanted him too. 78 or 79 or something. Plays fast.. maybe too fast today. Stokes and Barstow now.......
England struggling. Stokes never looked right. Ithink he did something in field. He was being rotated off strike by bairstow and he was out after 9 balls. All I and Barstow now CRUCIAL
A good old fashioned English batting collapse ..............205 all out............SA batting again with a lead of 135
Chasing 473, a huge LBW shout on Cooks first ball is given out............only to be saved on appeal (to high) 1-0 at close of play, an almost impossible task tomorrow and Tuesday (maybe)
It's just going to be either a total embarrassment or a dragged out playing not shots borefest Today England were not even trying for wickets that hard, just delaying constantly.
It's strange but I'm enjoying this match a lot more than the previous one... Don't worry, we'll be the ones to collapse in the 3rd match.
