Was a real grind watching that
Obviously with better catching could have been different. Bowled well overall especially first session.
Credit Cook again he never left the field alone for to long and bringing Root on when he did should have resulted in a breakthrough.
Would have got a big price Hales bowling at the start of the day! Loved watching him smile as he wasnt sure what was coming out but it was pretty accurate.

How hard do South Africa go at England tomorrow? Show good intent for the 1st hour then the game just meanders on? Just Alex Hales is 7/1 with Beteveryday to score a ton. He looked in decent touch in the 1st dig, bowlers won't exactly be busting a gut if they don't make the early breakthroughs, pitch is pretty docile. On the negative side he has to prove he can bat long and make it count, but he'll never have a better opportunity to score a ton without very much pressure.

This is going to be interesting
England not had much luck with the conditions was a touch harder to bat on day 1 (more bounce) and today Morris is making it talk which must be down the cloud cover.

Amazing scenes, one of the great days in Test Cricket going off here.
Incred, after that avalanche of runs in the first innings.

Hope Bairstow gets an unbeaten 50 here. 200 unbeaten runs in a test should give the doubters something to think about

Amla resigns as captain. ABdV takes over apparently.
What an odd time to quit!

Obv AB had already been lined up as skipper (who else is there in that team that could do it?) and told them he wouldn't keep as well as be captain.
Good for England that Philander will be missing, they might capitulate facing him, Steyn and Morkel
