I'm such a coward when my team bats first. Can barely watch. So I go and do something else. As soon as I sit down to have a look we lose a wicket.

36 overs for England to face. Could be interesting. Great bowling from the two geriatrics. Combined age of 76 ffs.

England in a very good position and well on their way to 400.
England have not scored 400 without Root scoring a century in their last 25 matches (in this innings Root made 9).
The lowest score when the 3rd wicket fell & England went on to score 400+ was 131/3 (in this innings England were 34/3).
I mean, they might, but it'd be well outside normal behaviour.
Mockers silliness aside, England should probably be hoping for a lead of 100-150 here.

Now is the real test for the Protea batters to show real guts. Fighting session per session.
Bazzz cricket won't help them, now it's real test cricket.

Proteas finally get through a session without losing a wicket . They'll need at least 4 more. 2nd new ball not far away.

Was at Old Trafford for this yesterday. Really enjoyable day with the result never really in doubt.
Nice of the Saffers to collapse in that final session to bring it to an end on the day though.
Sets thing up nicely for the next game, which will hopefully be a tight affair after two blowouts.

Proteas will fall away. Expect England to put them away in 3 days. Oval will probably a good batting pitch
Johnny Bairstow out...........for a while
Always thought golf was a bloody stupid game!!!England batter Jonny Bairstow has been ruled out of the third Test against South Africa and the Twenty20 World Cup after sustaining a possible broken left leg while playing golf on Friday.
The 32-year-old slipped walking to a tee box and will see a specialist to ascertain the extent of the injury.
Bairstow confirmed he will need surgery on his Instagram account.
