Pope with another 50, classy batsman. 

 

50 for Root now as well. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Pope gone. 

 

I hate KP on comms, he sounds like an excited Kindergarten teacher trying to make some shit story exciting for kids, the bellend.

He is the worst of all time. Massive whopper

Collapsing here, Root out and then Curran goes for a Golden Duck. Not sure the SA batsmen will be liking the fact the ball is doing a bit.

This is where Buttler prods around for half an hour and gets out for 10. Seems to be unable to retake the initiative in tests.

[Jairzinho]

Luckily it isn't going to make the blindest bit of difference in this test. We'll have a healthy first innings lead.

If Nortje had watched the Ashes, he'd be aiming at Woakes' head.

I agree. definitely a wicket where you'll never feel in, not good for the Saffa batsmen.

Our 50s will be 20s/30s for them.

Really impressed with Pope.

Indeed. Young Crawley also looks like a quick learner.

New ball not taken because Philander can't be arsed

He made you eat your words, he got 20...hahaha. About time he was fucked off, he's just not set up for this Test Cricket lark. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Buttler needs fucking off asap.s

[mgw100]

He's frustrating. Needs hypnosis or something.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It was all set up for him to whack a quick 70 odd but he failed again. Plus if the batting is not going good you just don#t have any confidence in him digging in to post a decent score. He's not great behind the stumps either, probably only in the team as he's Root's mate and seems to be part of the clique which stems from the shorter game. They've fucked off Bairstow so hopefully he'll be next and Foakes will get a chance. Could even give Pope the gloves and then have Denly batting further down the order, especially when Burns is back, could then move Sibley down to 3 and let Crawley bed in with Burns in an opening partnership.

Why is this Stokes incident even an incident in the first place? Almost nobody would have noticed had a big deal not been made of it and the only reason anyone would noticed in the first place is because it might have been picked up on a mic somewhere. And what is this mic even for?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Need to pop out for an hour, I fully expect SA to be in the shit on my return. 

[Stickman]

Broad is much better batting like this in just trying to hit every ball instead of allowing to be bounced out 

[Stickman]

Great stuff this, 50 partnership from Broad and Wood .

Nothing more annoying as a fielding side as England fans we know all about 

[Stickman]

Record 10th wicket partnership at the Wanderers of 83 and no team has lost here scoring over 330 batting first at this ground.

South africa 3 down already. They're an absolute joke.

Never known them be so soft.

[alles ist gut]

This is a bit gutless.

I’m very concerned for them.

[Stickman]

It's not the greatest batting line up SA have ever had ( apart from Dr Kock) but England have bowled really well...

Just a shame Wood is so brittle
