Followed by a very bad drop off Compo.

Root should calm down the lead isn't sufficient to go for everything so early in his innings.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 1:43 pm

Joe dropped now. As if things weren't bad enough for SA.

Both wickets to Piedt so far....

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 2:58 pm

Root 24 runs away from being England's leading run scorer for the year, and just behind Smith overall.

by **backfootpunch** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 3:07 pm

Root should be dissapointed with only making 3 hundreds this year

He has had enough chances to make at least six or seven

He gets a little to aggressive at times, a top batsmen shouldn't get out in the 70's and 80s as much as he does

Scoring has completely stopped

We need to give ourselves as long as possible to bowl them out, right now we are just wasting overs

Compton's lucky day...

AB shells another one.

And I thought England were worried about the wicket keeping

And then Compton gets out to a strangle down leg :facepalm

Lead over 200 though so he just might have done his job...

A wicket for Morkel...he needs to lead the attack, now that Steyn is off the field.

Maybe AB should hand over the gloves to DeKock....

by **hopeforthebest** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 3:34 pm

We don't want to see Stokes today, or SA will feel they have a real chance.

ABs body language all game has been of someone who does not want to be wicketkeeping

You'd think he'd have enough clout to let them know he really doesn't want to do it ...not as if a replacement keeper could make less than Duminy .

one of the commentators said de kock has made a century in the first class games going on now, so i would imagine he will be playing in the second test

Rooooooooooooooot :clap

Expecting SA to go into draw mode when they come out.

Maybe look to declare at lunch.
