Maharaja sensational pressure building. Shot wouldn't have played ahainst spin years ago but still a useful contribution.

 

[Howe_zat]

Just when you were thinking the hard work was done, I was about to post that the pair were starting to get on top of the bowling.

Still very much in the balance.

Last third of Cook's career has been so weird.

 

[Groundking]

Cooky

 

[OverratedSanity]

Maharaj is doing pretty much exactly what you want from a finger spinner outside Asia. Superb stuff.

Cook not converting his starts after weathering some excellent bowling has become a pretty familiar sight.

 

[StephenZA]

Yes! What a catch QDK....

 

[Spark]

de Kock is a spectacular cricketer

Last third of Cook's career has been so weird.

Why Alastair Cook's England career is weirder than you might think

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ooops in a spot of bother here

 

[StephenZA]

Best I`ve seen Rabada bowl this series...

 

[vogue]

Some good bowling from SA here as England pass the 100 mark

 

[Spark]

Malan is so loose

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, I'd take 120/3 but SA bowling really well. Kind of feel we could collapse in a heap here. Reckon Sherman Philanderer would have had us a.o for 200 at most.

 

[StephenZA]

the millimeter decisions...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Thank god that was umpires call.

 

[StephenZA]

Nice... just before tea. Bit of a give away by Malan though.

 

[Spark]

Ah, that's just poor

 

[Howe_zat]

Bad shot is bad. Impatient.

 

[91Jmay]

No surprise, he is an average FC batsmen and a below average (at best) Test one.

"@Steve Wood, Looks like a different mathematical progression, 1 +9 = 10, +8 = 18, so then that's +7 = 25 in the next innings?" I reckon that's more likely, Nick

Is it NUFAN who will be backing Malan in a big way based on his innings thus far?
