or is it just a good batting surface...?

Amla looking a bit nervous nearing his ton

jimmy making him wait

umpire should wide him

good ton from amla though he isn't back to his best.

Let's see how we bat first before making any assumptions

SA getting bogged down. They were going at well over 4 an over and only 18 in last 10 overs.

There's still enough over to get another 100 runs today and that's what they should be doing.

Try and finish the day 330-350 for 1 and then take some liberties tomorrow trying to get the score to 700+

Amla gone. They'll be lucky to finish the day at 300 now.

350 all out out i reckon. Poor from AB and not much left in the hut.

Well done Cook

That's disappointing. Really thought they'd be able to semi cruise through the rest of the day and go for it tomorrow. 400 will be a good score from here.

as leffy says- on your way Cookdulkar.

SA making a mess of a great start, typical from the fragile batting line up.

Come on lads, a couple more before the close and amazingly it may just be honours fairly even.

Think its already even at the moment Koo, another wicket or 2 and england are ahead.

ABs Batting stats as Captain - 36 - 0 - 0 haha don't think he will continue with the captaincy. Seems like a curse since Smith retired.

new ball has gone against us unfortunately, SA set for 500

500? what planet are you on?

not too bad today...about even...just

England dragged it back before letting it go again.

How did we actually play then chaps?

Don't fancy us in this game. Pitch looked fine early doors but heard all sorts about this being a result wicket so anticipating it deteriorating listening to all the cricket writers predictions.

Fortunately I was banned from commenting on this post whilst Woakes was going at 10 an over after lunch, thanks to u2. Saved me going on a Englandwhoelse style breakdown...

give it a rest cornflakes. you and shufty are terrible for the cricket pages.

England were lucky that the South Africans gave some wickets away.

I havent commented on ths game yet.. If i did it would be to point out chris woakes. hes not an international bowler. Footit is never gonna play for England. i dont see how he gets in when Wood returns.if the lad cant play infront of Woakes. he'll never play..

No doubt just to make him feel things are great he will get picked to play in of the odi games and that will be it for him

Someone said that Woakes has better stats domestically and deserves his chance. I'm not so sure. England are unfortunate to have both Finn and Woods injured at the same time.
