It will be a difficult 20 minutes or so before tea for the South African batsmen. Hopefully we can eke a couple of them out.

that would be perfect to have them 15-2 at tea.. :)

Amla gone and Roland-Jones has his third. Quite a first day of test cricket for him!

Dr Butler, I think your second prediction is coming true!

If we haven't taken 4-5 by the close then our bowlers will have failed in my opinion, there's plenty to work with here.

4 for 5 would be some collapse! 😉

I think it was fair and the game so far is on my side, the ball is swinging all over the place it only needed one of our 4 quicks to work it out and the wickets were going to fall.  The only real surprise is that TRJ was the one that got it first.

The best two bowlers in this match have been Philander and TRJ, neither of whom are your modern lithe athletes

They've bowled the best lengths.

That's the 5 then, can we clean them up by the end of play?

This shows just how well we played this morning though, I'll stick to my thinking that 300 was a good score and 350 was superb.

They are saying on the Sky coverage that Philander won't bat so if we get the last two wickets tonight for once I can see us enforcing the follow on.

This England team can be very frustrating at times. A wonderful performance so far in this test in sharp contrast to the woeful performance in the Trent Bridge test.

76-7 and effectively 8 with Philander looking unlikely to bat if we get 2 more tonight.  I really hope we push for this, they shouldn't be getting treble figures from here.

We should enforce the follow on as well.

Sounds like having to wear white trousers is not recommended for Veron at the moment
