[Lady Whistledown]

Well done Jonny Bairstow. That century was for your Dad. Super super stuff.

Yeah. Wonder if that was at least partly behind the emotion he showed there.

I felt that too. Fantastic emotions.

So, what do England do? This pitch has draw written all over it based on the SA village green bowling, but you never know. England have to get a huge score and then bowl SA out twice without batting again. Don't fancy bowling in this heat for 3 days though. Forecast is hot, hot and then some more hot.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The ability of the SkySports cameramen to pick out the most attractive and/or larger breasted ladies in the crowd is quite phenomenal, isn't it?

What a reaction from Bairstow. I thought for a moment he had a little tear in his eye.

He did for sure....

Not Sky.....pictures provided by the SA Broadcasters [emoji3] (Sky put a caption up just now apologising for the bad language saying so)

Much better than Stokes. Every 6 has landed amongst blokes. He needs to work on that.

Bearing that in mind, I think whatever the score is at the time, we should declare the instant Moeen Ali is out. Absolutely no point in batting Broad, Finn or Anderson. Keep them fresh for bowling,

Batting for a declaration now.....600 or next wicket I reckon

Either way, it's uncanny, isn't it? Imagine being paid to sit around with a zoom lens all day and hunt for them in the crowd.

Somewhere at Newlands, there's a South African TV producer sitting there shouting into his microphone "Guys, guys: Morkel is bowling like a focking drain here. Find me titties and find me them NOW".

Bairstow now tucking into a few SA bowl-pies

 

[crookie]

This is phenomenal, wonderful entertainment

Can't say i noticed......

We have definitely become even more aggressive in the last 20 mins. Would suggest a declaration is imminent.

Not 600 then.....

 

[pasty]

Highest 6th wicket partnership in test history

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Highest ever 6th wicket test partnership ever ever. Brilliant. I got up early to watch and thought I had slept in..............

Fancy the England bowlers to knock them over for under 300.

3rd highest England partnership ever - could soon be 2nd.

England 601-5

The highest 6th wicket partnership in the history of Test match cricket.. 378*

Highest all-ginger partnership for any wicket, ever.

When did England last get 400 as a team?
