Excellent 50 by Morris on debut and from a slightly tricky situation. Very good partnership this with Bavuma.

That's not one of Chris Gayle's chat up lines is it?

Athers recalling his debut.

Odd initiation ceremony.


Might explain why Athers always suffered from back problems.

Potentially his back could be the least of his problems.

Odd trigger movement.

What's the record for dropped catches in a test innings?

We're up to 7 in this one.

Yorkshire players taking it in turns to drop catches off Broad.

Don't send Ballance on as sub fielder.

Good effort from the medium paced England bowler.

TV.

Snoooooooore.

Most interesting is predicting when the dropped catches are coming.

Poor Joe Root looks like he is on the verge of a breakdown.

JB too.

SA should get a wriggle on and have a bowl at England tonight.
