If we lose it from here then it really will have been do-do. Good start by SA, but good for us to get the wicket.

Needed those 2 wickets, was a nice little partnership they were putting on there.
Amla & Edgar both gone.
99-3

Du Plessis goes in the final over, b Finn c Cook.
SA 136-4 at close, 280 needed to win. England need six wickets tomorrow to wrap it up. Doable, surely? Could do with getting de Villiers out soonish if possible though.

De Villiers goes in the first over; SA currently 143-8, and have lost the last five wickets for 7 runs. They need another 273 for the win...
Come on England! This must be do-doable!

Well this is quality!
Shame the game has gone before I got up....

The SA score looks even worse when you consider how the openers started so well. 6 for 19 runs is piss poor.
Beach time for the Barmy's this afternoon
Are you over there Billy?
I wish mateI'm sitting watching it dreaming of the beach in the background...
So are South Africa probably...
I certainly expected more from them that's for sure mate. Shouldn't complain though, great result against the number one ranked team especially away from home. Well done England
World number 1, you're having a laugh
Wow that really puts things into perspective. I might go a bit easier on our lads when they're struggling now.
Next test starts on Saturday, so only a short Turnaround. Dowe think that gives us an Advantage, i.e. it gives SA little time to sort out their problems, so we can press home and take a 2-0 lead? Or does it give SA a chance to quickly dust themselves down and get revenge?
I obivously hope the former.
Is @Sir Tennisball into cricket at all?

Sa are in disarray and have been in last tests they played.
Their bowling is there but no batting.
I would say England were 7/10 here at most and easily won. England's batting was adequate shall we say from enough players to get the runs and the bowling was well shared out.... pitch helped moeen too
You'd want a big performance next test now to really ram it home. More good batting and if we win toss an innings victory

Very harsh that is.
8 given the opponent, our form, and the heaviness of victory.
Is 7 v 8 very harsh?
The opponent has been woeful all year.
Ok we've been mixed at best too and we had no Anderson.
Two guys come in as well.... ok 7.5/10 then
