That's the way it should be done.

Strange decision to delay the start in the sunshine when there was a huge storm on the radar due to hit right around the new start time. With the forecast as is I suspect we won't see much play today now.

How on earth do you break your leg playing golf?!

Knowing him he probably fell off a tree whilst shagging the club  captain’s wife.

Heavy overnight rain in London meant a wet outfield at the scheduled start time.

I know, I was commenting more on the choice of new start time.

[Villan For Life]

Either the weather or HRH will see no play today, possibly in the test as a whole.

[Villa Lew]

Test to resume tomorrow, but they are unable to add a further day, so it will be in effect a 3 day match, which has proved enough so far in the series.

Blimey England making up for lost time here.

Losing 2 days play unlikely to be an issue at this rate.

[Villa Lew]

Don't know about a 3 day Test Match, this could be a 2 day Test match.

I’m struggling to come to any sane terms with Stokes’ innings, or was he playing whack-a-mole?

On the positive side, it’s jolly decent of our chaps to give opposing sides a two wicket advantage each innings.

[PaulWinch again]

Pope aside that was a ropey innings and has let SA back into the game.

[Villan For Life]

So the 4th innings starts before the end of what is effectively day two.

It’s all happening, in 9 balls there’s been a dropped catch and two reviews. Chasing 130 they’re trying to get them tonight.

[olaftab]

It's a superb gesture by South Africa to surrender this Test match without any fuss in the current "difficult circumstances" for all of us.

Hopefully one day soon electricity will be invented and then test matches won’t have to stop for bad light.
