Well Prior did a good job, but we need some more early wickets.

I was enjoying the commentary on the BBC stream on tv that we get over here until this fucking wind that has been around for ever blew my dish of the roof. How did it finish today ?

Very poor day for England.

In fairness they threw away a couple of outstanding positions against the West Indies earlier in the summer. Difference being that the Windies are nowhere near as strong as SA, so couldn't take advantage of being allowed back into the game.

Game is now in a very balanced position. First session important.

We need to come out all guns blazing tomorrow morning and do what South Africa did to us today.

Good hard day of Test Cricket which you'd expect from the two standout sides in the world.

385 is a decent score on this dry pitch so hopefully Swann will come into his own when the sun comes out and it starts to dust up.  Need to break this partnership early though and get into the middle order asap, not sure their tail has many runs in it.

Wonderfully poised match now.

Control has been good, but we haven't looked particularly threatening.

This round the wicket stuff from Broad is not yielding anything except for runs to South Africa.

I'd bowl Bresnan now and give Bopara a few overs from the other end.

He may well prove me wrong again and I hope he does, but Bresnan is not offering a great deal in this match at the moment.
