How can they take drinks when the next ball is the hat trick ball? :angry

Great review by Root, btw. I think he's finally got the hang of DRS this match.

Ooh, close!

What is it with padding up to straight ones in this match?

Time to get Anderson on, I think.

Some test debut for TRJ if he can add another two wickets to his second innings tally, 2 in the five wicket column and 1 in the ten wicket column after just one test!

Half hour after lunch and no wicket yet...Maharaj 24 and looking sound enough. This is taking longer than expected.

Moeen looking the most likely right now ...but the new ball isn't far away.

Elgar has had some luck ; but he's earned it. Gutsy innings , this , injury and all :salute
