Winter Tour playing Pakistan & South Africa

[Chazza]

Be handy if Hales can get a score here.

Wonder if he will go at the spinner.

[Shaggy]

Hales doing very well here, actually digging in! Surely he'll get bored soon and start smashing it.

[Shaggy]

****s sake Hales

[Chazza]

Ha taking on the spinner

[Shaggy]

Exactly what I thought. I'm egging him on to start taking him on then criticising him when he's caught

[Buzzo]

Compton makes Cook look like a care free, all action, free hitting opener.

[Chazza]

That is a shocking drop.

[Chazza]

Another one put down.

Giving up some chances.

[Chazza]

Compton caught down the leg side for 49

119-3 lead is 208

[RichC]

Need 350 minimum for me to be completely safe

[Shaggy]

A great day. This SA side might be ranked no.1 but they're not up to much, especially without Philander.

This match is over. SA lost it in the first session and we spent the rest of the day with our foot on their throat.

Woaks still 0 and 0. Top contribution so far. : D

[captainfog]

Bairstow and Woaks need have a swing and get us to 400 lead as quickly as possible. Need to leave ourselves a good day and a half to get all the wickets

[Chazza]

Good stuff from Bairstow 68 off 71

404 lead.

[Chazza]

Woakes gone for 23.

Looks like Cook is looking for 420.
