I think he closed his eyes and swung the bat. Got a bit lucky!

Not doing too badly after it though. Good shot for that four.

He getting cocky now, clean bowled in a few deliveries time, guaranteed.

Bairstow reduced to the role of spectator as TRJ puts SA attack to the sword...

Good fifty Bairstow. :clap

Close call for TRJ there but he's on the right side of umpires call

But Bairstow loses patience and Maharaj strikes :(

Won't be long now...

Sky Bet a bit tight having us only 14/1 at this stage but I've stuck a daft fiver on anyway.

You never know...

Pity Bairstow went like that - not quite sure why he was so eager to charge the spinner ? They were going along pretty well and even 200 was looking quite possible. Guess he was feeling very confident...

Can't really see the last three lasting too much longer : be nice if they can scrape up around 170.

At least the game should last past lunchtime now. Enough for SA to ch.... ?
