Weather looks a bit iffy in NW8 today, clouds and possible storms.
Win the toss and take the ball I'd say.

Big toss to win.
Weather better tomorrow onwards, damp wicket already.

England: 1 Zak Crawley, 2 Alex Lees, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt.), 7 Ben Foakes, 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Jack Leach, 10 Matthew Potts, 11 James Anderson
South Africa: 1 Dean Elgar, 2 Sarel Erwee, 3 Keegan Petersen, 4 Aiden Markram, 5 Rassie van der Dussen, 6 Kyle Verreynne, 7 Keshav Maharaj, 8 Marco Jansen, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Lungi Ngidi, 11 Anrich Nortje
Why no Ollie Robinson? Surely he would have been ideal in these conditions?

He has got to go shirley - get Phil Salt in there.

LBW review - Rabada on Pope... looked leggy ??
Review burned.
Ngidi
Crikey... Marco Jansen is a GIANT!
2.06 metres tall, left arm over... could be a right handful.
6' 9" in old money.

Root out.. LBW to the beanpole. Review but looked close enough.
Clipping leg... he's gone.

I know the technology shows that it IS (just) hitting, but honestly - that's a shit call from the umpire. You can't give stuff that you think 'might just' be clipping leg stump, surely?
Barely even a coat of varnish....didn't think it looked like it was hitting in real time or on the replays

Yep. Very poor umpiring.

Seriously - if that is out, then I ought to be getting 3 or 4 LBW decisions every spell I bowl.
