that was the opportunity.

Root has gone this time....

If England are 5 down at lunch SA have a chance.

Botham said England would win in three days, he is the Lawro of the cricket world. Clueless.

Compton out, game is still a tiny bit alive.

Could easily have been 5 down if Taylor wasnt dropped albeit it was a great attempt from Rabada.

Game in balance just. Need to bowl England long batting lineup after lunch.

SA need to chase 180 in 30 overs minimum. Anything more and its a draw.

Very quiet on here today...

England won't bottle this... Draw.

Nah i think 180 is too much Kash. England can just bowl wide of the wicket unlike ODI.

Has the pitch suddenly deteriorated. ..

Jsut when u think england are safe another wicket falls, england need another 50 runs which i think they will get.

one great innings and then rest of the crap. why would you sweep a ball to backward square leg 80 yards away in the air. when its just simple to play it out there on the ground?? doesnt seem right does it???

If Styen was around he would have been pumped up but with only Morkal the real danger England should see the game through.

Taylor nows gone........ holy moleyyy

1 more wickets and its the bowlers. England making Peidt look like Warne.

I hope England lose.. they deserve it.. You cant be bowled for lesss than one 150.. Not when you get 620+ in the first innings.. I hope they get stuffed and i hope they lose the series 3-1..Our top order is laughable.

OH DEAR.......gonna get some stick guys if you loose this match.

change ya fackin username then ya caaant.....

I still think the pitch wasnt the worse we have ever seen, if catches were taking in both innings it would most likely have been a 300-400 pitch.

change my username?? you think its acceptable to see collapses like this every game??? You think if we lose this game is acceptable?? you think its OK? you think its ok 3/4 dismissals were all gotten out by themselfs is fine? Only root got a good ball. taylor there was pushing forward and over ballanced.. Stokes played a ball 80ft out to deep midwicket. when he could have just hit the ball on the ground.. i think england WANT TO LOSE. they love it.

The wicket is flat but England are now under pressure and are faltering. Just like how Pak almost messed up in UAE.

if england are all out the bad light will not save them as it stays pretty light in SA

that's fine no it's not acceptable........but nor is wanting them to loose....just to say I so you can say I told you so..da fuq is that.

So what's actually going on today? I take it the pitch hasn't suddenly turned into minefield? Poor batting? Or have conditions changed? Heard it was meant to be over cast today?

of course i dont really want them to lose.. But stuff like this needs to stop.i want england to be well oiled cog.. we shoulda just batted the day out and be 3/4 down when the teams shook hands...I think england love drama they love it..
