Fourth Test, SA v England. Centurion, Jan 22-26

[Aidan11]

Back on now.

[Aidan11]

Stokes gone for 33.

24 short of the follow on with 3 wickets left. Would SA enforce it if we fail to get past the follow on point?

[mikesiva]

Rabada gets his sixth!

I don't think AB would enforce the follow-on...bat again, and set about 400, weather permitting.

[Aidan11]

Follow on is about to be avoided anyway.

[Aidan11]

There goes Woakes.

[Aidan11]

Rabada didn't get him.

[mikesiva]

Rabada didn't get him.

Duminy finally contributing, but with the ball....

Seven for Rabada...at this rate, when Steyn and Philander come back, it will be Morkel, and not Rabada, who makes way. Moeen finally out to morkel for 61...that innings could end up being an important one.

[Aidan11]

I see we're all out now.

133 defecit. Could have been worse.

i don't suppose SA will collapse two tests in a row.

[Aidan11]

Or maybe.....

[Aidan11]

Good decision not to review there.


Off for bad light.

Time for Ando to pull his socks up tomorrow and earn his 'leader of the attack' title

He's due a belter, and he probably needs one, in truth, to confirm that he hasn't become a 'home' bowler these days

[The Professor]

It is a hard life being a Bairstow defender with performances like the one in this test.

He did pretty well in the UAE

Not quite panic stations yet, I'd actually like to see South Africa set 350 to 400.

Cook needs a big knock, Hales needs a knock of some description, Compton and Taylor need that big one under their belts before the home summer.

the injury to abbott and inconsistency of morkel so far gives us a chance to chase anything really if we can get off to a solid start, since after the first 20 overs a spinner will have to be bowling from one end

rabada is carrying this attack at the moment

if we can hold some catches a win is still very possible
