God this is dragging a bit now. Surely they can't bat his out can they?
Or could they even go on to win? 220 odd for 7 is doable and confidence will be increasing.... 😐
Daggers put the jinx on em' 🙂 much Graeme Smiths chagrin !
me to thank...... just put a 'Judas' bet against England thus ensuring the victory is now completed today.
On another note - I feel old. I remember Amla coming into test cricket and thinking he looked a good player - now he's soon to depart it.
Moeen!
Lovely.
moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen moeen ali !
😆
That's more like it 🙂
Fat lady warming up?
Oh yes!
BOOM!
Michelle for Moeen as well!
only man to get 25 wickets and 250 runs in a 4 match series
not bad for a second spinner
Interesting article about the logistics of the upcoming day night tests. Tea and dinner anyone?
Some great comments too
Brilliant piece about the terror at Sabina Park in 85/86.

I can confirm Patterson was a very scary sight on the pitch having seen him in his early years when he played county cricket, although almost all of them were in that era.
So, a day/nighter!
England batting first.
Good Afternoon everyone. Pitch is a 'belter' apparently.
great pink ball bantz
It's not just pink it's 80s PINK
aha the best pink
And it's just got its first victim.
DROP HIM
😀 it's a very good delivery. 18-1
Hmmm.....
a pink ball, day night, Stoneman's first ball in test cricket misses the short bit and hits second slip who has to leave the field with a damaged hand. Hits second and third for four. Gets a jaffa and departs. Welcome to test cricket, it's not always like this!
Starting to think cook has got stinky feet. He looks good today thou
39-2
A familiar looking England scorecard.
oh god make the pink ball talk stop. Boycs is repeating himself

11 tests in a row for Root with at least a 50, England record, one more to equal world record.
Interested in what happens when the moisture comes out of the pitch
Ton for root
About time he converted - about time for Cook too...
Captain and ex-captain both getting a ton.
Tidy.
It's just bullying though isn't it. oooh wait a pink ball!
flat track, poor county attack and a very soft ball.
I'm pleased to see I didn't jinx Cook - dangerous times now though with Malan having to come out in the twilight with the new ball due.
dangerous times now though
not with 287 on the board 😉
if the old ball is starting to moving around the new ball will be unplayable!
Night time. Let utter carnage ensue
Not necessarily - reverse with the old ball can be much deadlier than a new cherry.
the crowd is going to be smashed at stumps!
the old ball is starting to seam around
they've lost the plot!
Did you hear the bit on TMS earlier today when they were saying the England team have to goto bed at 2am to adjust to the day night format.
Tuffnell was loving it and wished it was around in his day, being ordered by the management to go out late ha
