I now envisage the most turgid of days tomorrow as SA pick the odd one off here and there at a glacial pace.

Ingeresting fact (to me at least):

Ben Foakes is the son of the referee who officiated the play-off final between ourselves and Reading in 1995.

So a belting day of test cricket then? The attritional ones are always the best in my view. Plenty of time for lubrication too!

I for one didn't know that, Nicho. Nor did I know, until just now, that Peter Foakes passed away in 2006 aged only 60

Oh absolutely

And as a bonus you get to witness a masterclass from the greatest quick bowler of all time (imo).

[Worthy4England]

Yeah, nicked out another

[Worthy4England]

^^ scratch that nowhere near it...Still for 2

[Worthy4England]

Slow, slow day. Gutsy from the Saffers...but very very slow.

[Worthy4England]

A good "one brings two" routine by skip. He's having a good match

[Worthy4England]

Stuck at it well on a l9ng day, today. Reaping late rewards

[Worthy4England]

Grand win.

[Bruce Rioja]

New ball turned it on its head. Delighted for Robinson who was brought in to exploit the bounce, and ended up taking 4 on an absolute pudding.
It'll be criminal if he's dropped for the third.

Yeah, game turned in last sesh. Hope you had a good un, mate

England were winning from the moment Jimmy uprooted Elgars off stump. From then it was just a matter of how long it took. An outstanding performance.

Had a cracking day thanks, Buddy. Not sure I've ever seen a new ball put to such devastating effect.
We're talking about 'doing a corporate' for the Ashes if we can (Breakfast, lunch, tea, Champers etc.). Not cheap, but definitely one off the old bucket list

Yeah, that's a great day...I've had similar musings, but suspect the wife would want to tag along...

[Worthy4England]

A grand first 50 minutes. SA 5 down.

[TANGODANCER]

76-7 is pretty impressive...for us. Not so for S A.

[Worthy4England]

Very good bowling. It's doing a bit, so we need to bat well. They didn't play too many poor shots (absolute clangers) but got some good balls.. don't think the pitch will change much between innings
