Sad, but true.England's fielding has got so dire.

Everything has been slightly below par. So frustrating in such a big seriesBeen easily the worst thing about their performance this series, made a massive difference as well.

The timing of the drops seems to have worked out as badly as possible for them too, dropping quality batsmen at crucial moments who then go on to make a big score. They've tended to get away with it before, dropping tail-enders or getting the wicket soon afterwards anyway.Worth reminding that England's catching was pretty poo last year too, and during the away tours. It's just SA are good enough to make them pay/the bowlers haven't created enough other chances.
I think there's a bit of bias in saying this is getting away with it, given that you may now have 2 without the drop -- given it was a good ball // even chance of a rash shot.... or getting the wicket soon afterwards anyway.
seems to be struggling to concentrateFMD this is a weird knock by ABdV.
He's certainly riding his luck, and gratefully accepting Anderson's generosity.FMD this is a weird knock by ABdV.
Given Sa seems to be looking for 350 and eng 250. 300 par?Lead's up to 200 now. Need another 150 at least to give ourselves a good chance.
I'm not really sure how much the pitch will deteriorate tomorrow (if at all). A combination of bad shot selection and disciplined bowling have done the batsmen in in this test, there have been no demons in the pitch. I'd think 350 would put the match in the balance. Anything less is advantage England and anything more will likely see SA at the top of the rankings.Given Sa seems to be looking for 350 and eng 250. 300 par?
