Bit I saw seemed bounce was a bit up & down, mistimed swats & swipes.
Maybe a middling pitch we tried to bully.
Time to board the rattler home
Yeah, the commentators saying something similar. Consensus is that itβs a par or maybe a little better than par score.
Amla hit on the grill by Archer and has to go off - seemingly having failed the concussion test.
Markram comes on.
SA 14-0 after 4.
Markram gone for 11 off a ball from Archer.
SA 36-1 off 7.4 overs.
du Plessis gone for 5 - again to Archer.
SA 44-2 from 9.3.
van der Dussen comes in - still no Amla.
Yay civilicivilisation. Got a data signal!
And England get a wicket the moment I opened cricinfo!
(Some oil refinery thing at Trzebinia wherever the fvck that is)
SA leading a charmed life.
de Kock clips the ball on to his own stumps - stump lights up but bails stay in place.
Buttler drops van der Dussen off a tickle.
74-2 off 14.2.
Spin at both ends.
Poor glove work from Butler. That was a sitter off Moen and followed that up by letting the ball through his legs for 4 byes. Letβs hope that drop wonβt be too costly.
SA accelerating now.
125-2 from 22.
Get in.
de Kock cocked up.
Gone for 68.
129-3.
Duminy goes now for 8.
142-4 off 25.5.
Odd shot - he seemed to chip it straight to Stokes on the boundary.
Run-out.
SA 144-5 from 26.2.
Pretorious goes for 1.
Are train pics the cricket equivalent of nuns ?
I was bored to death on the journey. Got data once. Was about to type something and thought meh pic instead.
Should have got longer for what he did.
Archer brought back to get a wicket and he does.
van der Dussen goes for 50 - hurried and hit it high.
SA 167-6.
Amla should be able to bat again but will have another concussion test.
EDIT. Amla is back.
Absolutely amazing one-handed catch from Stokes sends Phehlukwayo on his wayo.
180-7 from 34.1
Un-fukin-believeable. Being hailed as the Best Catch EVER!
