Everything has been slightly below par. So frustrating in such a big series

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.

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.

Amla should try and keep De Villiers away from Anderson. Only a matter of time before he gets bowled by one that comes back in sharply.

He's certainly riding his luck, and gratefully accepting Anderson's generosity.

Lead's up to 200 now. Need another 150 at least to give ourselves a good chance.

Given Sa seems to be looking for 350 and eng 250. 300 par?

No slips to Anderson now, and Trott coming into the attack. Seems England are just going to sit in till the new ball now and rather than look for taking wickets just ensure this is a quiet period before we attack with the newbie.
Would still prefer Strauss to really look for a breakthrough before 80 overs by being more attacking and giving our premier bowler at least a catcher or two in the office.

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.
