Philander drops a dolly at long off... Bairstow gets a life on 7... could be costly!

Well, well. Certainly not predicted on here.

Very unexpected, a combination of a pitch deteriorating and the panic of a collapse. Hopefully we can sneak past 300 and that the pitch continues to misbehave for SA.

Makes for a better game imo.

I'd be fairly confident setting them 320 or more. Even 250 on this pitch would be tough and you would make the bowling team favourites

I said this & got shot down in flames still the wisdom of NSC will surely prevail.

Hopefully the wicket will allow England to do the same with SA and bowl them out cheaply.

One thing it does do is take the pressure off new captain Root... the Comm Box Captains always want ridiculous early 'attacking' declarations.
