Rabada just castled Malan with a cracker. A late inswinging yorker smashing into middle stump and leaving the hapless Malan on his knees. Classy.

I am because it shows that although the bowlers are on top the batsmen are applying themselves to the job in hand and not just losing patience and slashing out and then losing their wicket.

Seth Efrican parents, happened to be born in England but grew up in Seth Efrica. Think the clue is in his name.
Tea, Day One (and it has just started to rain again)
England 149-4 (52 overs)
Cook 72*(161) Stokes 10*(19)
Two brief rain interruptions and a very slow over-rate mean this will go on to 7pm (the lights are already on) but we will still be well short of the 90.

1 am glad somebody else sees this not just me. If we lose so be it at least we have given it a go.
Restart scheduled for 17:30... 2 hrs can be played this evening (until 19:30), could well be a crucial session which will shape the rest of the match.

Fingers crossed that we do not lose another wicket today.
Philander can't manage to hit Stokes bat, it is that far away from the line.
