 There's only around 30 occasions in circa 2000 tests that >300 has been successfully chased...
Aye. I feel a little more comfortable now with 330

Aye. Will be happy to see Amla waddling off though... Should be more than enough.

Was ir Philander who dropped Root on around 16, too.? That drop and Bairstow's have given us about 200 runs...

Balls doing all sorts. If we can't bowl em out on this then our bowling attack isn't very good. Cracks galore and huge patches of rough.

Tremendous catch from Bairstow, and a smart c&b from Ali.If he hadn't got his hands in the way it they'd be finding his teeth until Tuesday!

Aye, both good bits of cricket. I'm always impressed with stumpers leg side catchers because whilst they can judge the trajectory, they don't see the ball until really late. I only did WK once as a mid-match injury stand in. Never again. :-)

That was probably one of the plumbest LBWs I've ever seen reviewed.

I could only think that they were hoping for the no-ball :conf:

I mean, you know yourself when you're plumb.

Ooof. That's a cracking wicket (de Kock) but what an awful way to get out. Gotta feel for him, but we'll have it ;)

Yep. Pitch very, very tricky to bat on. Lead of 200 probably would have been more than enough.

Oh I'm confident now the 7th has gone down.

They ran the overhead camera thing down the track during tea and it's absolutely shot at. They should play a one-dayer on day five just for a laugh ;)

Yes. Strange one (De Kock).. That was a proper village yahoo from Bavuma. I think Moeen has been taking notes of my critique... :-)

Another wicket and they could probably request another 30 mins on the end...

Excellent five-for, but if he can't take wickets on that track then I'd be looking to delete my earlier post. ;)

A true great :D

BWFC-I was right too, we'd have done it with a lead of 200, but who'd want the pressure?
