Thanks mate just watched it, funny commentary to go with it.

England all out for 165
Rabada 5/52, 248 test wickets for him now in his 52nd match, current strike rate of 40.4. Absolute jet.

.... and a top bloke. My son was a net bowler for the South Africans on their last visit and he said Rabada was a champion.

Sadly I don't think South Africa will make 150 with the bat .

Not there yet but at 1/105 are making a good fist of it

Entertaining nights play, curled up on the sofa watching it, game evenly balanced at this stage

as much as i dislike James Anderson and dont know why, he had the ball talking at times yesterday

Reckon by the time the Melbourne/Brivegas game finishes tonight that England will be back in batting & hopefully 5fa not very many

[Armchair expert]

Poms trail by 123

2 down both to Maharaj of all people

[locky801]

Root gone 3/58

[DOC]

6/86 Superb bowling by Nortje who has 3/18

[The Dark Knight]

Bloody hell, why does the collapse happen when I'm not watching, England effectively 6/-71.

[DOC]

England going the tonk.

Feel that SAF may not bat again.

[Armchair expert]

RIP BazBall 2022-2022

nice to see the poms come back down to Earth with a thud

On the money DOC, England all out for 149 to lose by an innings and 12 runs.
Beaten inside 3 days, Bazball no good for England on this occasion.
SA's team balance turned out to be a winner.
250 test wickets for Rabada, he's the second fastest to the mark in balls bowled (10,065) behind Dale Steyn (9927). His current strike rate is 40.2

SA won the toss and elected to field

They just dont learn, if you win the toss you bat first ....

[Jim05]

BAZBALL!

[Rik E Boy]

I wish the Poms played Bazball at the Headingly Test in 2019. Instead Stokes made one run off 50 balls and was like a wall before he finally upped the scoring and unleashed that match winning innings. Bazball is unsustainable with a two man batting line up. It puts too much pressure on the bowlers and it will only work in certain conditions. Expecting plodders like Lees to tee off when they are 150 behind is ridiculous.

The second England v South Africa test starts tomorrow in Manchester.
England have already named their team, the only change is Ollie Robinson comes in for Matt Potts.
Zak Crawley keeps his spot, all the media surrounding the series has been mainly focused on Crawley this week, he continues to come under huge scrutiny.

"I don't expect consistency" , McAllum on Crawley.

Must be the only coach that doesn't. But I suppose Crawley HAS been consistent....consistently shite.

Elgar wins the toss and bats first. Playing in his 100th test match at home (the first time a cricketer has played 100 tests at home) Anderson dismisses Erwee for 3 and Broad has picked up Elgar and Petersen. SA are currently 3/48 and the ball is nipping around a fair bit.
