    Yep. 50-3 looking good from here.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka 2017

    Sri Lanka in a spot of bother here.

    I worry that England being 50-3 again might be on the optimistic side.

    Wood definitely missing some pace from before. He averaged 84.1mph yesterday, quickest ball 88.2mph. He needs to pushing the odd ball past 90mph even if it's the just the odd effort ball.

    The thing with a pitch like this is it's so slow that it makes the bowler's margin for error much smaller. So calling the par score is very difficult.

    Not when he's the third best bowler in the team. .

    Flintoff not from the north east either. You'd think it would happen less with Bell being useless for Warwickshire instead of England these days.

    There's the mandatory drop off Stokes then.

    What's the point in having 6 bowlers if you keep one on when he's bowling absolute shite.

    No they weren't. They were over 200 runs behind ffs with two batsmen and bowlers left, having to bat last on a wearing (rarity at Lords) pitch.

    Going to be a big morning session. Every one so far has seen a clatter of wickets. Keeping South Africa to around 300 is definitely on, but equally South Africa could get almost anything from here if one or both of the remaining main bats sticks around. Philander and Maharaj are both decent low...

    Can we have someone on who can bowl people out, rather than trying to buy a wicket whilst getting carted?

    Dawson spinning it, without taking wickets, just makes the omission of Rashid look even more stupid.

    Anderson up until the end of 2011: averages 12, SR 36, average number of balls faced per wicket 33, (per innings is 19.6 due to a high number of NOs) Anderson since: averages 9, SR 49, average number of balls faced per wicket 18, (per innings is 12.3) Bat like Anderson, not like Broad.

    And that's why Anderson's balls per innings has dropped over the last few years.

    TMS saying Anderson's previous sixes were against Paul Harris in 2010 and Sajid Ajmal in 2015.

    Hmm that was unexpected, still think Anderson should be playing for his partner mind although to be fair Broad over the last few years is not much better than Anderson.

    They've done a good job bowling their quota of no-balls though.

    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    Not a chance they'll get banned unfortunately. But there really needs to be a 10 runs/over penalty for every over lost on days like today.

    Such optimism despite Root's dreadful conversation rate.
