Robinson gone and now Leach gone

Falling away quickly

 

[Dinowolf]

158 all out

Lead of 40
Jansen 5-35

 

[Carrotdude]

2 useless openers, someone on debut and a captain who slogs at every ball, this is always likely to happen any given innings

I hoped the last Test saw a more measured approach from Stokes, obviously not. 40 is still a decent lead given the context.

Aaaand it’s gone

Erwee gone 26

Stokes gets the breakthrough with his 3rd ball

[Paddingtonwolf]

I wouldn’t want to be chasing 190+

 

[Dinowolf]

Elgar gone 36

Given out, Elgar walked, no review but tech shows it was missing

Petersen gone 23

Rickelton gone 8

95-4

Hideous technique. If you ever wanted to be a walking lbw then that's how to play.

Strauss stopped playing a decade ago

Jimmy is still bowling at a world class level

Effectively 106/7 at tea.

It's hooping everywhere.

 

[Sniffer]

South Africa 10-1 on the exchanges. In such a low scoring game 10s is very generous.

 

[Kenny]

Need 130 to win.

First ball should have seen Lees out and it was dropped and now avoided a run out by the tiniest of margins

Nah, 25s would be generous. 10s is about right.

 

[Kenny]

50 for Crawley.
