The low cloud around here is likely to make it difficult to complete the full number of overs in terms of bad light anyway. Required rate getting up and around 4 now; I *think* we have weathered the storm, however we are England.

Remember Kallis and Boucher frustrating India from 6 down here in 2011, though that was on day 4.

England are safe here now. It would have been interesting had SA gone a bit faster and taken a 60-70 run lead, given the amount of overs they batted.

Captain Hindsight - the best captain ever to play the game.

Bingo. Said this yesterday. South Africa could have comfortably have scored 50 more batting with virtual safety. Letting Root bowl at Amla/Faf was really negative.

Maybe at The Oval against India in 2007.
Which would be astonishing if we really hadn't done it since then.

Not sure it's quite what you meant but Nagpur 2012 was somewhat similar in that we had a very marginal 1st innings lead and ended up having to bat the best part of two days. Was a massive pancake like this one too but India didn't make it difficult.

You get infractions for avoiding the swear filter so I guess doing it in Hindi is same as avoiding it in English. (Not advocating infractions obviously just saying).

You can get infracted for not posting in English as well, though warnings are usually given first.

If Elgar bowls any slower he'll be able to get down the other end and play it.

If he put more work on the ball with his fingers he'd be pretty good imo. Uses all of his body to get that nice flight but it doesn't dip drift or turn at all.

Good partnership between these two. Bairstow becoming a valuable batsmen for the team. Just hope he can undergo a Prior like improvement in his keeping as him at 7 is a really solid spot for him.
