Still think England will get bowled out for less than 200 though. Don't fancy Moeen or Stokes here at all.

Moeen is what the number 9 here? England may play Woakes at 9 because he's more temporary.

England have a stupidly long batting lineup, but it usually doesn't make much difference because one guy always gets stranded. Going to be key how long numbers 10 and 11 can hang around to support them and whether 8 and 9 bat more like batsmen when they have chance to.

Enjoying the batting of these two. Why is Compton looking with a turned eye at the last moment?

Piedt is getting a lot of turn. Moeen should be a handful on this pitch if he bowls well.

Compton probably trusts his right eye more than the left one.

Wessels made an often repeated point earlier about Morkel bowling far too short his entire career. It's so frustrating watching him bowl.

Spot on.

One of the biggest travesties in test cricket last few years was the shameful treatment of Compton.

More like the treatment Taylor had after KP said he was crap. That was a travesty.

Dropping a guy averaging 30 is hardly a travesty, not like Compo went out and scored a bucketload of runs after it either to demand a recall.
