The TMS Team managed to convince him that one of his Centuries had been downgraded from First Class Status leaving on 99 rather than 100. Top Work!

These sorts of repeated collapses when set a big (or in this case huge) run chase are not good for Test Cricket.

This is bloody silly although it will help Bairstow's career stats I suppose. England now going at 8 an over RR. Great comment on the BBC Website: Perhaps Joe Root has forgotten he is captain and is waiting for Alastair Cook to declare? EDIT: and finally with just the 491 lead Joe...

Last 10 overs Run Rate of 6 per over, middle order best part of the England setup at present. 420 lead, declaration must be coming soon?

Well done to Malan, Bairstow and Stokes now at the Crease... :thumbsup:

Once they are settled after Lunch and given the next batsmen up include Bairstow, Stokes and Ali then surely it will be tee-off time for this pair, get another 100-120 and declare before Tea to give the Saffers a hectic15-20 minute session. EDIT: Boycott thinks so as well... :thumbsup:

Would have to be a hell of a collapse to lose from here - but this is England we are talking about...

Inspection at 17.30 but think it is still raining at the Oval, good job there are two days to get the job finished... EDIT: Not bothering with the 17.30 Inspection and we are done for the day. 252 ahead, get up to 375-400 lead before Tea tomorrow and then put them in?

Merde, Il pleut... 74-1 Probably going to pleut the rest of day as well.

Today's weather looks poor after 2PM so going to be one of those frustrating days. Don't suppose Philander will bat and he'll be happy to have a Rest Day.

Philander on a drip in Hospital tonight - unlikely to play I would have thought...

What a Car Crash! A bit unsporting of Jimmy not to let TRJ get all five, but I'm sure he will be on the Honours Board very shortly. No wonder De Villiers decided to sit this series out; it could be over tomorrow.

Seth Efrican parents, happened to be born in England but grew up in Seth Efrica. Think the clue is in his name.

Saffer bowls out another saffer...

Morkel working Root over, 107-2
