I feel like a Test batsman should always set themselves up to be able to defend a yorker, unless they've been worked over by short balls or something. Maybe that's harsh.

Looks like real batting starts after fourth wicket not after third wicket anymore

England's position isn't great, but it's not awful.
They might be 4 down, but Cook, Stokes, Bairstow, Moeen, TRJ, Broad, and Anderson is still a lot of work for SA.
England could probably use a few runs before Moeen comes in, and give him licence to have one of those mockers innings where he hits a 50 better than a run-a-ball.

Good job Vern had the squits or we would be up a certain creek without a paddle.

I presume Big Vern can't have been trying too hard when he had his stint at Sussex earlier this summer
I think he has had a few county stints and has never done much which is just weird. In division two as well I think, maybe Darren Stevens would be averaging 20 with the ball in Test cricket...

Maybe none of the Div 2 guys get close to the ball to nick it... kinda like Stokes at the moment.

Clearly not as he didn't slim down in that stint.

Seems to very much be a "I'm not playing until you bowl at me" type.

Not in keeping with how he actually tried to bat though. Quite a few attempted leaden-footed whacks towards extra cover.

Guess we can't look forward to a Social post telling us how Cook always get's out to high-quality bowlers today.
No doubt we'll get one when he next scores low, as I'm pretty sure Alastair Cook is the only decent opener in Test match history that gets out to high quality bowling.

Cook has had notable problems against quality stump-to-stump fast bowling throughout his career though. That he's batted well today doesn't change that.
