Not yet but intend to. They've combined it with Hungry as the Sea in one book. Two of my favourite fiction books are still Eagle in the Sky and The Sunbird.

England. 179-4 and bad light stops play for today. Taylor went for 70 to Steyn right at the death.

Very swings and roundabouts right now. We might just have the edge but much depends on the next instalment. Well done Broad, with both bat and ball.

elgar carried his bat - which is apparently the first time a sarfafrican has done that since they were let back into cricket...

Finn again. He gets DuPlessis in the last over of the day. 136-4 and they need 280 to win. Good day for us.
