    RAIN IS FALLING. After tea resumption has been delayed. Time to call it a draw chaps.

    Cue another Status Quo tune. :emoticon-0159-music:emoticon-0159-music:emoticon-0159-music

    Back out in the gloom. But just the spinners on. Light not good.

    Jonny Bairstow now top scorer in this England 2nd innings with 30 so far.

    Covers now on. Just waiting for the Umpires to make the match officially a draw.

    What a match. Records broken all over the place.

    Stokes will get the MOM for sure.

    The likes of Bairstow - Amla - Buvumba Can feel unlucky not to get it.

    WELL DONE Jonny Bairstow on sneaking under the covers to grab a couple of wickets for himself and Stokes.

    No shock in the MOM award and Amla stepping down from being the SA capt.

    He was out of his depth John. He is best just batting. AB de Villiers the capt for the rest of the series.

    De Villiers told him he could do the job better and he agreed apparently, that's what I heard on the radio anyway not sure about the truth of it!

    Well that matched summed up why you can never write a test match off.

    Both sides will be frustrated. England will think if they held onto their catches they would of won that game easily, and South Africa will be annoyed by the weather. The last day apart I thought England played really well. We scored quickly looking to win the game and the bowlers created enough chances to bowl South Africa out for under 300. We have fielded very well for the past year, so i don't think there is too much to worry about.

    People seem to have lost interest in the cricket but the situation in this Test is well-balanced. Joe Root the hero.

    Incredible SA are emulating England (at times) - from 23-0 to 46-7

    Broad is so good at the moment, he is the Vardy of cricket. Think it helps he didn't do much the first few sessions because of sickness. Looks like we will go on and win the series quite comfortably now, great stuff.
