[Cricket] 2nd Test Match South Africa v England

[Beach Hut]

vd Dussen out

3 to go

 

[BensGrandad]

Minimum 22 from now (total min 146).

Plenty of time keep plodding. What are the odds on a bowler getting a hatrick of wickets

BBC :

Sometimes, Joe Root gets some flak for his captaincy. When moments like this come along, he deserves nothing but praise.

For some reason, a leg gully is posted for Rassie van der Dussen. From the very next ball, he turns a nothing leg-stump ball straight to the man. It was like catching practice.

Stuart Broad has his man, Van der Dussen's 140-ball vigil is over and England are edging towards victory.

 

[BensGrandad]

A win now looking quite possible.

Draw still looks most likely

Draw still looks most likely

Draw is still 2nd favourite on Betfair.

Draw still looks most likely

Getting one these 2 out, who are the last that can hold a bat may change the picture

 

[Pavilionaire]

These boys have successfully blocked 39 balls without troubling the scorers. You don't get action like this anywhere else in sport.

 

[Beach Hut]

And another, two to go

 

[The Wizard]

What a spell from Stokes, some absolute snorters.

This Stokes chap...rather good, isn't he?

 

[Knightsworld]

Great catch

 

[BensGrandad]

Try and keep Philander at the non strikers end.

Who says tests should be reduced to 4 days with this tension in the last hour of day 5

 

[Beach Hut]

If Saffers lose this de Kock as a lot to answer for

Somebody make him SPotY

100% this. This is EXACTLY what a fifth day should be like. Don’t **** about with it.

In test matches do you get the chance to claim an extra half an hour if you wish
