When was the last time we scored 400+ in the 1st innings in consecutive tests? Must be a fair while ago.
Broad being a coward again I see

The pitch is made for Wood. I bet he's he's buzzing anarl after that knock. Root captaining to his set plan as usual.

If it doesn't swing after 2 overs pull him off root
Made that mistake at PE. Okay that swung a fair bit

We've seen the SA medium pacers get carted around and their one fast(ish) bowler get 5 wickets. This pitch is built for pace

Shocking captaincy this for me. Curran is a 4th seamer at best for me. Wood should be opening and Woakes in at first change. New ball is vital, we could break them and the inning could be over by 4pm if we start well, but Roots still not covering himself in glory - yet another 50 and out - and now this bowling choice

Good to see Broad get stuck in with the bat

New ball = conventional swing (Curran, Woakes)
Old ball = reverse swing (Wood)
Here he comes...

Really???? Didn’t know that thanks for an lesson marrow.
Because of course the only possible benefit to the new ball is swing, no benefit of extra bounce, extra pace off the pitch, seam movement or anything to consider...

Why have we got Wood bowling back of a length when Nortje showed how to bowl
