Up goes the finger... Root traps Malan in front... reviewed but looked pretty good.

[Cricket] 3rd Test South Africa v England
- Thread starter Beach Hut
- Start date
Interesting review... looked like there might have been an inside edge... heartbeat on the UltraEdge... but he's gone.
SA 44-3
27.3 Root to Malan, OUT, there's the breakthrough! Malan thrusts out his pad and is thumped in line. He reviews, a touch optimistically? There's no inside-edge, I don't think, or is it? Two murmurs, very adjacent to one another... but no, the third umpire is satisfied that that is all pad... and as expected, it's smashing the stumps! Malan looks a bit non-plussed by all that...
PJ Malan lbw b Root 12 (115m 79b 1x4 0x6) SR: 15.18
And they are taking Tea on Day Four. 33.3 overs remaining in the day.

Weird 3rd ump decision there....looked like a faint nick on ultraedge but looks like a gap between bat and ball.
Anyhow, 3 down.

The next 2 wickets are vital for us.
Huge shout first ball after tea... the umpire says no... Root calls for the review
Going over... the review is lost. van der Dussen survives.
Umpire Rod Tucker was spot on.

Root bowling absolutely beautifully, looking a lot more threatening than Bess at this point.
Terrible review, Bess

Crikey... England burning their last review... 
That was missing leg in a second set

Oh YES!
That is a cracking catch by Pope at short leg

39.3 Root to van der Dussen, OUT, screamer at short leg from Ollie Pope! Fullish, a bit of turn, an inside edge into the pad as he prods forward and Pope takes a superb catch diving at full stretch to his left back over his shoulder! The skipper strikes again, South Africa on the ropes
HE van der Dussen c Pope b Root 10 (36m 36b 1x4 1x6) SR: 27.77

England just need to get de Kock out...

1 gone cheaply, 1 to go then the home stretch.
I assume it's due to the speed of play but I always end up with a great stream for cricket.

Ollie Pope looks like a real find, good mentality and a superb close fielder.
MASSIVE

What a catch, Root has got De Kock out... that never gets old 
terrible shot.
terrible shot.
45.5 Root to de Kock, OUT, oh my, awful shot! What on earth is de Kock thinking?! Has a big old heave-ho at it outside the off stump, bottom edges up into the air, Wood gets some great hang-time at point and takes a good catch, and that's the end of de Kock! Root has a third, South Africa lose their sixth
Q de Kock c Wood b Root 3 (24m 26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.53
Root 3-15
Q de Kock c Wood b Root 3 (24m 26b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.53
