***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

[Daemon]

What an absolute fraud of a test bowler Morne Morkel is.

taste it, taste it long and taste it hard

 

[Gnske]

Amazing they need to even check for the no-ball on that one

Pity Stokes has to go, the fun was getting real.

 

[WalkingWicket]

England to be rolled for 250.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Another 30 mins of Stokes and we'd have been comfortable for a lead.

In the balance now.

 

[jimbags]

Come on Root, get your 100 finally

 

[91Jmay]

Moeen needs some runs here, he should come out and play like Stokes. A quick 30-60 could turn the game in our favour if these two at crease now can get us within 50.

 

[Daemon]

Moeen Ali coming in at 8 is so unfair. Imagine being the opposition, taking 6 wickets and thinking you're going to wrap up the innings soon when yet another batsman walks out.

 

[Compton]

Very well batted, Joe Root.

 

[91Jmay]

What a player. Given the pitch, the match situation that is a stunning knock. Strike rate of 79 as well.

Awesome.

 

[GIMH]

roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Roooooooooooooot

 

[OverratedSanity]

Awesome innings

 

[Pothas]

Think the Stokes innings has kind of stopped us taking about how good this has been from Root.

 

[91Jmay]

Some of these shots are so, so class.

 

[Daemon]

What a shot to bring it up too. Great knock.

 

[Niall]

Why bother with Chris Morris?

 

[MW1304]

Really significant innings in the wider context of Root as a batsman but more importantly in the short term, this has been so vital in the context of the series.

 

[wpdavid]

Fine innings, to be sure.

But this match is looking so close. An absolute gem.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah this is a belting test match. Glad we have shown the ability to fight back from a bad position, shows the development the team has made over last 6 months.

 

[91Jmay]

That is disappointing, not sure we wanted to go off there and I think SA would be happy with that.
