Winter Tour playing Pakistan & South Africa

[captainfog]

Impressive from Amla, batting the entire day.

I've seen him do that at the Oval.

He was dropped twice though.

[Buzzo]

He was dropped twice though.

That's still not out though? Loads of impressive knocks have contained some missed catches. It was definitely impressive, batting for what, 560 mins and the discipline involved in his shot selection, baring in mind this is to save not win the game. He played a similarity attritional style back when I saw him (2011?).

Though I think that was even more impressive because it was during Ramadan.

SA dropped umpteen catches in the England innings, didn't make it a less impressive total.

[Alex]

Shame that this match looks like it will drift to a draw now.

It had so much promise the first couple of days. Amla has strangled the life out of it.

[redmike65]

The game has suddenly woken up

Six wickets down now. Still too late to avoid a draw though.

[Chazza]

So **** he's hit 67 off 74 balls.

[Buzzo]

Bairstow drops Bavuma from Broads bowling.

Broad gets warning for kicking the pitch

[Chazza]

Dropped a **** load of catches this innings.

[Chazza]

Ton up for Bavuma.

[Buzzo]

SA declare to try to force a result.

Impressive response.

[Buzzo]

I didn't realise Bavumas ton was the first by a black African playing for South Africa.



Thats a pretty big deal.

[RichC]

Cook gone for 8

[Shaggy]

Root gone. 55-3. Oh dear.

If we lose this game

[captainfog]

We should have won this. We dropped 10 catches. Unforgivable that we're having to bat on this last day with the ball nibbling about.
