Couldn't last ...but was indeed a handy 44 runs. Been a couple of useful late stands in this match.

Think YJB will go for Maharaj now...

I quite enjoy Bumbles' commentary, especially when he starts interacting with the ear piece wearing spectators.

Morkel should have let that run away for four.

Bit of a soft dismissal at the end.

So 331 to chase.

If SA get that on this they've earned it.

Maharaj did a good job for them...think Moeen will fancy having a big say when it's his turn.

They might have a good chance.

I don't think we'll get a wicket in the first hour of their innings.

Sky Bet have SA 11/4 so not really worth a punt. 16/1 the draw. That will only work if there is a massive cloudburst lasting all day tomorrow.

Nice to see in the Honest Joe era, England not amassing huge third innings scores. Just playing aggressive cricket.

As Botham will say, if SA make those runs, good luck to them.

Bumble good when he talks about the cricket but awful when acting like a clown and he a bit of a racist as well.

Sky Cricket coverage isn't really that great anymore.
they got more duds than good commentators.
only really Holding, Ather and Hussain are quite good and hussain starting to be below average now by keep on stating the obvious now.
Sky coverage tends to be very overrated.
surprised that they didn't use Graeme Smith as well this year.

best result would be if SA don't score quickly today and england don't take wickets.
100/0 would be great at best england could only 1 or 2 wickets anything more than that probably won't go tomorrow.
