Had no luck so far. On another day could easily have them 3 or 4 down.

Great ball from Moeen and then a great one from Finn. Need to capitalise on this now.

South Africa are on top at tea I'd say, with AB looking dangerous. But if we can nip out another couple of quick wickets we'll be in the driving seat.

Great from Stokes to get rid of AB. We need to get one of these fairly quickly now, I reckon 300 might be a good score on this pitch.

Bavuma's wicket is key now

I hope they've learned that bowling short to Bavuma is not a great idea.

Bavuma run out, 212-6.

If we can get another couple before stumps then it's our day.

SA are winning the end of this day here, we just don't appear to be able to deal with Morris.

Our day I'd say, but they won the last half hour. We need to knock them over quick in the morning.

Very odd decision to start with Anderson this morning, Finn should have been bowling. At least Morris is gone now, well done Broady.

Shows what I know, Jimmy strikes! I do think Finn is starting to put himself forward as the frontline of our attack though.

Finn is the strike bowler, we should use him like Australia use Johnson, short spells where he gives 100% for 3-4 overs.  I'm ok with Broad and Jimmy being the 'go to' seamers when we have Finn and Stokes in the team who can both be much more aggressive.
