    Slow 'n' steady to day but getting there - Boycott would love this approach - Hope we have enough time left to bowl them out, as and when required - Come on guys and let's see the series move to 1-1
    Yep, would do Rooty the world of good to get this one put away, got a battle on to skittle them on this dying wicket though.

    Unless they are bowled out sooner, England should have four and a bit sessions to bowl them out.  If SA have been in the field for 2 days, their top order batsmen might not be at their best.

    Probably not ideal for Stokes to start at 8.30 tomorrow against the new ball - But the positive is that him and Jos don't have the same pressure on them, with a healthy lead to work with, so can play a more expansive game asap and get that lead up to 400 plus shortly after lunch - Hence 4 'n' a half sessions to bowl SA out

    i went to the gym this morning and watched the test on my mobile. By the time I had finished 50 minutes later, Sibley had added 2 runs. Love it.

    I hope he gets the 100 now - Foundation is there - Bet he wishes he'd got there today - Wonder how he'll sleep tonight and no doubt nervous first thing tomorrow - Best wishes to him

    Was this the ground Stokes got his 258 on?

    it was. Completely different wicket though, the 258 wicket was an absolute road (Bairstow and Temba Bavuma also got their highest scores on it) 

    That knock this morning from Stokes was effortless

    Jimmy getting that wicket just before close of play could make it a very interesting day tomorrow.

    It’s a little known fact but all of the 'Cricket 100' coaches have also previously served as Star Fleet officers on the Starship Enterprise at some point in time

    Du Plessis gone - Malan still there solid as a rock but hopefully get another quick wicket from the middle order and victory shouldn't be far off.

    Second new ball not far off.  England should win from here.

    Need a minimum of two wickets this session, and it'll be a huge test of Root's captaincy.

    And Jimmy hasn't come out after lunch, let's hope he's mid-dump or something like that, don't think we can win without him.

    Thought Malan was gonna do an Athers circa-1996 innings then. If they don't win this then they need a clip round the ear.

    Denly's proving to be quite useful. Can he tempt de Kock into an indiscretion?

    Buttler may get into trouble for calling Philander a "fucking nobhead".

    So if he gets banned, all we need to do is nobble Bairstow and they might be forced to call up Foakes.

    He has become a real quality player.  His overall stats are ok, but he wasn't the finished article when he started out.

    Since the start of 2016, he's averaged 40 with the bat, and 29 with the ball.
