Shame for Bairstow, he looked really good but had to slog with the bunnies in. Him/Compton looked to be really well set.

All well and good but the bunnies have hardly struggled have they? A bit worrying how relatively easy they've made it look in light of our total

Unless you predicted the bunnies to put on 30, then his shot selection was totally justified.

How were those last 2 lbws umpire's call? Ridiculous.

 

[nevermind]

Should lose 50 runs for reviewing that

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Stone dead. Hes reviewing the no ball hah.

Good from the last pair. 303 a decent total after the start we had. But we should have had a few more.

Would say South Africa are ahead 60/40. Pitch wasn't that hard to bat on today, and the usual collapse is frustrating as 350+ was there for the taking.

Pitch is turning though, I'd get Moeen on really early.

 

[Furball]

Funny that Moeen and Woakes both got ducks after all the hype about how stacked the lower order was really. They're always going to fail sometimes obviously, but funny it was today.

Thanks Yoda.

350 was only there after a lot of hard work, though.

We're not in a bad position but we've got to respond in kind with the new ball.

At least we have a workable total, still in the game after being put in under the gloom yesterday when we could have had a disaster and lost the game on day 1. Now is the time to hit them, get a couple of wickets with the new ball and their lack of runs of late will cause some jitters in the dressing room.

It's par imo. Worth remembering SA bat last.

 

[MW1304]

Not feeling this total jimmyless as we are.

 

[weldone]

excited

unless they score 550 here and virtually force England to bat last

 

[fredfertang]

lol

 

[Cabinet96]

They keep doing it.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not a bad start.

 

[Furball]

Nice leave

 

[weldone]

uh bad leave

 

[fredfertang]

lucky lad Hamish

 

[91Jmay]

What a first over that is. Brilliant.
