So if Broad was bowling about 80ish and this from Steyn is mainly mid 80's the speed gun is ****ed as this looks about 10mph quicker at least from Steyn.

Nice shot from Taylor there, should give him some confidence.

Tough time for the young bloke. Be a great thing if he comes through and makes a few runs.

Not too many, mind. Want SA to have a healthy lead here.

Those English helmets are bizarre. Took a little inspiration from England's crack team at the velodrome perhaps. Pity they're not helping. Wonderful bowling from SA. Bit of an England fight back and we'll have a great test on our hands.

Taylor really, really doesn't look likely for me.

Could be early career jitters and it likely is but he seems very keen on scoring runs rather than just seeing off Steyn.

Bell seems far more composed.

Note - he just starting to settle down now as I type this.

Is it just me or has Jacques' bowling improved post hair transplant
Extra zip about him yes, maybe he just feels fitter for now. Always been a reluctant bowler and seems to not have had as many niggles of late (Headingley back spasm apart) as he did for a few years previously.
