An excellent use of a leg-cutter from Stuart Broad :clap

Rather a handy wicket :)

Broad has been excellent today.

This game continues to swing back and forth... Good fifty for Elgar.

Moeen has bowled 20% of the overs for 33% of the runs, it supposed to be the other way round.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Stokes has only bowled two overs. Might be worth giving him another go.

If you don't get to the pitch you have to change your shot, especially when you are new to the crease

Moeen gets a wicket as du Plessis loses his head and his wicket. The nightmare of India still in his head??

It's very clear from this that Anderson and Broad are in another level of bowling technique compared to the rest. Without them we'd be in a world of bother.
