Handy when the nightwatcher sticks around.

Markram out of the series with a fractured finger.

Pieter Malan to open?

England serving up a 4 ball every over atm

2 more overs and this pair will have a 50 partnership

by **Durhamfootman** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 9:47 am

at least Broad is keeping it tight

by **Durhamfootman** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 9:52 am

the thing I don't understand is that Nortje has a FC ave of 15, yet Archer is mostly bowling short or back of a length according to the crapinfo commentary.... why? his ave is 15. Don't give him balls that he can just leave

Root is off the pitch with his head down the great white telephone

thank goodness yesterday wasn't just about England being completely sh1te

Fifty partnership. Bit of a heartbreaker for England.

there we go.... more short pitched stuff at the tail ender...... a mere 11 off that over.... way to go.

by **Durhamfootman** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 10:02 am

and that over has opened the floodgates.... boundaries coming thick and fast now

by **Durhamfootman** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 10:03 am

5 of the last 7 balls have gone to the boundary

some of them were even hit there by the batsmen

by **Durhamfootman** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 10:09 am

England are being put to the sword by a batsman on debut and a bowler with 2 tests under his belt, on a pitch that everyone says is deteriorating

24 runs off the last 2 overs.... even the Thunder haven't managed that in their BBL match.... oh wait a minute... they just have.... they are playing T20 of course...... these two are just playing with England

Rassie van der Dussen gets his half century!
:clap

Out to Archer for 51. Not bad for a debut.

Archer gets his fourth wicket! Nortje out for 40.

Lunch 197-7

De Kock 30 not out

He's back!

SA lead by 320 with 3 wickets intact. Should be more than enough. Don't think this England lineup would score over 250 in second innings.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sat Dec 28, 2019 12:24 pm

Two wickets now. It'll be interesting to see where England are at the close. It's easy to see them being 3-4 down.
