England vs South Africa 4th Test Old Trafford 4th-8th August 2017

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Outfield looking like a bog........nothing new for Old Trafford

 

[Titanic]

Broad gone... trying to drive Morkel... squirts to cover point.

237-9, lead 373

 

[Titanic]

Anderson fends off a short one from Morkel straight to short leg.

4-41 for Morkel. Moeen Ali 75* from 66 balls.

England 243 all out, leading by 379.

All results possible with a bit of weather around, but surely there's plenty of time for England to win this one and wrap the series up 3-1?

Done & dusted, best of luck to the Saffers chasing 380 to win on this wicket...

Looks like no rain today. Should be over by close of play, and a well deserved day off for all involved.

Bugger... it's raining... the covers are coming out and the England players having had their huddle are now trooping off

Just a light passing shower.

It's Manchester ffs. It doesn't just pass it sets in for weeks.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Should put some nice juice in the pitch.

Restart scheduled for 12:10 unless it pisses down again.

3.4 W Broad to Elgar, OUT, what bowling! Elgar edges behind. Another crackerjack delivery. Just short of a good length, angled in at off stump, he has to play, then it straightens off the seam and grazes the outside edge

SA 10-1

10.1 W Anderson to Kuhn, OUT, his agony is over! Edges to first slip. Full ball outside off, a poor shot really as he pushes away from his body, and it's a regulation take for Cook

Jimmy has got the ball talking out there... Amla can't lay a bat on it.

Lets hope that continues until he is eventually out with a low score.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Amla's just worrying about when they're going to bring TRJ on.

Get rid of these two and we are well on our way.

Review for a caught behind.... not given... TRJ on Bavuma...

There's a spike... he's a goner

Big wicket on the stroke of lunch!

40-3
