Need to get a wriggle on here, understand Hope needs to bed in but a hundred off 35 balls will do that

I think we just need to bat well and not worry too much about the result. Getting the team playing the right sort of cricket is most important right now.

[Jap Stammer]

Need to be at least 150 in front and put them in before close of play today.

Otherwise it's a draw.

Fuck me, this is boring.

Proper Test cricket - for people with an attention span.

Loving it, me.

How come??...its test cricket

 

[Mainze]

Forecast looks like play will be over by 2-3pm tomorrow. Typical, hardly cloud in the sky forecast for the following 7 days

Well played Joe Root, needs to carry this form on into SA if we are going to pick up decent Test Championship points.

200 up for Root

Squeaky bum time as Pope squeezes home
