England 233 all out
Lead 330, masses of time for a result, one way or the other.

This has potentially done us a favour.....avoids the problem of deciding when to declare, gives the SA team the slightest glimmer of a chance (meaning they'll take a few more risks to score, giving more chances) and means we'll definitely have enough time to bowl them out. Hopefully.
Wow, fabulous catch by Bairstow

Was wondering if 19 wickets had fallen in a day in a Test Match at Lords before. Found this:
"That total of 18 wickets falling in a day is not a Lord's record, with 19 seen twice, 21 going down in the England-West Indies match of 2000 and the highest a remarkable 27 in the Ashes Test of 1888."

How great to have some 'proper' cricket again. Ebb and flow over a period of days, tactics, cricket whites, TMS. Not a whiff of 'pyjama' cricket - yes, I know it's an economic necessity and, to be fair, a bit of fun at times, but as far as my cricket is concerned, I'm old school (and fully intend to remain here!)

Amla is a good wicket to get so now it is De Kock who we need to get to be well on our way.
Me too.......real stuff. Love it.
