Better over from Duanne. Can't bowl too full on this pitch.

Ngidi showing Olivier how it's done. Much better spell.

Jansen into the attack now too.

Ngidi continues to be our most threatening bowler. I still think he's too fat though.

Must win match so they go for the guy who is the better bowler.

Two good looking test matches going on.

Shame the Ashes test will take all the headlines whilst England shit the bed again.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

And seems it is a justified one. Jansen breaking that opening stand.

India 91/4. SA doing well, keeping the run rate to only 2.35 rpo.

Rabada gets Rahul. We're in a handy position now. Need to get Ashwin early .

Yep you're right my stream froze and when it came on I saw KG celebrating... for taking the catch. Jansen now on 7 wickets into only his third innings of tests. Very impressive for a 21 year old.

Another one for Marco Jansen. Rookie bowler and keeper combining nicely there.

Olivier gets Thakur and we have a collapse on!

Something strange with the speed gun. Ashwin done for pace from a 120 kph snorter from Jansen.

Rabada beats Bumrah for pace first ball and the speed gun says it's a smidgen over 130.

And that's the end of an extremely irritating innings from Ashwin.

Well, he ran out of partners, so we'll never know.

He certainly looked like he wanted a biggish score. In a short time.

Disappointed that Markram goes early again. He always looks like he should be scoring far more than he does.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about Verreyne and he scores a big one (or two). Can't say that I'm all that impressed with his keeping, though.

Your coverage appears to be ahead of mine. I haven't seen his wicket fall yet.

The thing about Elgar is that he seems to play the ball off the pitch and sometimes he reacts a little late, which can look ugly.

He is living on the edge.

He always does, though.

He relies on his reactions, so he always plays the ball late and it sometimes looks a little ugly. He does tend to hold up one end, though (Mockers excepted), so I think it's worth keeping him in the side. Who opens for Western Province? maybe we should get him in...

Keegan Petersen is a born and bred Boland product. New Orleans is a tough playground.

They were part of the Cobra franchise, CSA only change back to the 14 teams a while ago. So no they didn't exist since 2004.

Bumrah's top score in Tests is 34. Next best, 28. He averages 6.6. You made him sound like Stuart Broad :crazy:
