Madness , shame Stokes didn't get one more 6 but ho hum.

Farcical run out after a spill. Still, with 20 minutes to a declaration and Broad coming in, we might see some shots now.

Declaration.

Let's get after them before tea

What tine does it finish GMT? Could we declare now and have a few minutes at SA batsmen ir would they call it a day if we declare now.

There's a first, I can't remember England declaring in a dominant position and feeling a bit disappointed. I was rather enjoying that.
Then again SA are so shot they can't even catch.

C'mon Jimmy

I guess the plan is to bowl them out quickly, bat for a bit to give the bowlers a rest, then bowl them out again. 3 hours bowling today in this heat though...

3.30 I believe. We are 2 hours behind SA

To be honest I would have kept batting. Admittedly SA look sloppy and shattered but if we'd reached 700-750 they would have been completely demoralized.

They haven't had tea yet, so it would be disappointing if they called it a day right now.

PS: we have declared

Thanks I thought that perhaps it was in the next hour, hence my post about declaring, which obviously doesnt make much sense if there is still 2 hours play left.
