A shit one.
Where the hell did that delivery from Broad come from? :blink: Absolute belter.
65-4 at lunch.
65 runs in a session?
SA :lol:
Aggers is speaking to Dravid on TMS.
Alice Cooper is there. :lol:
Finn bowls one to the boundary.
De Villiers survives an lbw review.
Blake. :bow:
105-5, Anderson gets De Villiers this time!
Impressive from England
But SA bowlers are better than ours by a mile so lets see how we bat
We need KP really.
To get Rudolph out.
Top effort from England. Kallis' (non-)dismissal still annoying me though as he could've made a difference. It's hard to know what a good score is on this wicket until England are batting but suffice to say 123/5 isn't what SA had in mind when choosing to bat. The wicket looks quite good in fairness - maybe the overcast conditions are helping the bowlers a bit more.
Swann is getting smacked back over his head after a long period of barely any runs on his bowling.
Trott is on for a bowl. :lol:
151-5 at tea.
Blake is in the commentary box now. :haha:
163-6, Rudolph plays one on to the stumps! Swann with the wicket, he learnt that from KP.
Finn's knee clatters in to the stumps yet again.
Duminy makes 50.
The improvement in the lower order/tail-enders to add runs in the last 5-10 years has been amazing. It wasn't long ago that you could expect to wrap a team up in the next 50 runs once you had them 6 down. These days you've got a dick like Swann with a 30 avg coming in at 10. Big transformation.
Coinciding with T20s perhaps? Times like this I wish England had a proper all-rounder.
235-7, Anderson finally gets Duminy on 61.

Blake playing T20 would be awesome
Tests :haha:
262-7 at the close of play.
Good recovery by SA. If they push up to 300, it'll be below par but gives them something to bowl at. Then it'll be up to England to post a massive total, 500+, and look to win by an innings. Very possible. Just hoping the rain stays away.
307-8, Broad gor Steyn some time ago but Morkel is already on 25. :blink:
307-9, Morkel goes after a wide one and so does Prior. Finn with another wicket.
309 all out, Philander stumped, Swann the bowler.
29-1, Morkel bowls Strauss - great delivery. And that's lunch.
Strauss :lol:
Should have come in at Number 3 and bring in a Lunch watchman tbh
Strauss can do one tbf.
38-2, Steyn gets Trott lbw on review.
39-3, Steyn gets Cook. :rolleyes:
54-4, Taylor goes for 10, Morkel with the wicket.
Dear me.
Dravid is in the Sky commentary box. :bow:
Steyn is so good. Unbelievable pacer. He's the only one around these days who gets the aggressive body-bowling right. England, normally great against the short ball, are bricking it.
Bell has a face I really want to punch, but I've become a fan in recent months. He has a lot of balls to keep grinding out these runs. Also, for my obsession with technique, he is very solid. Can't fault him.
Bairstow and Bell both got their 50's.
178-5 though, Bell went. :rolleyes:
If Prior gets out to a reverse sweep he needs to be shot.
Steyn. :haha:
Worst delivery of all time.
England close on 208-5.
South Africa take the new ball.
221-6, Prior is an absolute idiot - who swings the bat at a new ball without seeing what it might do first? :doh:
