Second Test: England v South Africa, Nottingham, July 14-18

[Arthur Crabtree]

But I'm expecting England to bat first, based on the weather not changing much, and SA to bowl first to gain some initiative after the defeat at Lord's.

SA decide to bat...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Morris for de Bruyn.

long tail with Philander at #7

alot of movement for anderson in that first over

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sounds like A&B are bowling a bit short.

[rich1uk]

yeah with the amount of movement there has been, both in the air and off the pitch, they could probably have pitched it up just a little bit more

[rich1uk]

cracking catch from Dawson

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe SA would have taken one wicket in the first ten overs. But their batting looks vulnerable most of the way down.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cricinfo says Jimmy the Saint is the first quick bowler to take 300 wickets at home. Out of 471 overall.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bloody hell. If I still went to the TB Test every year, I'd be off work today. As it is, here we go.

[rich1uk]

just showed the hawkeye and the delivery that anderson got the wicket from was his fullest delivery of the morning

[Aidan11]

Slow morning so far.

25 runs off 14 overs.

[rich1uk]

SA will probbaly be the happier at the end of that session getting to lunch just one down

dont think we made the most of the conditions

[rich1uk]

both reviews wasted by England

neither looked remotely like they were wrong decisions
