šŸ:engerland: England (and Wales) Cricket 2022

Thank me I just turned my stream off as I have to pop out.

WICKET

Verreynne c Foakes b Broad 21 (SA 108-8)

Beauty from Broad and Verreynne nicks it behind.

Angled in to around a fourth-stump line, there is a fraction of movement away from the right-hander and the ball takes the edge on the way through to Foakes.

Verreynne was neither forward nor back but really, he was just undone by a good ball.

151 all out

Lees and Crawley in 4-0

5-1 Lees gone

111-3 at close. Root gone cheap again playing at a ball he should have left.

Bairstow gone for 49, Nortje upping the pace, inswinging, caught Bairstow’s edge and a good catch in the slips

Eng 134-4, trail by 17, let the collapse begin

Nortje to Bairstow, OUT

That was coming! Nortje’s sharp pace allied to tight-lined reverse swing, back of a length, Bairstow pushes hard on the angle into his stumps, a thin snick and first slip clings on! Another handy stay from England’s form batter, but that’s a crucial breakthrough for South Africa!

I missed the Creepy wicket

Nortje to Crawley, OUT

Crawley’s nicked off! He really didn’t do a lot wrong there. His decision-making has been leave the wide ones, defend the off stump, but this is just too good from the exceptional Nortje - high pace, tight line, just a nibble of movement off the seam, and the slenderest of edges through to the keeper! South Africa have both overnight batters, and the deficit hasn’t yet been seen off… now then…

England now have a lead of 4 runs, 155-5

Foakes gone LBW, looks plumb but he’s reviewing.

Hmm jagged back and hit him on the thigh, might be going down on side. However it pitched outside leg and was going to miss the wickets.

Eng 204-5 lead by 53

And that’s lunch with England are 212-5

Tea, Eng 308-5

Stokes 98*
Foakes 61*

Lead by 157 runs

Stokes get’s his ton and then holes out for 103

Rabada to Stokes, OUT

Huge hack off a good length, and it’s all over! Stokes wanted to put the hammer down, but he picked the wrong ball. Not quite short enough for the launch over the leg side, a leading edge skews out to cover, and Elgar backpedals to end a mighty knock

Broad is in and is wagging his tail, 20 off of 10 balls currently

England 356-6, lead by 205 runs

Broad gone for 21*, stumped by Verreynne

361-7, lead by 210

When did rhyming batsmen last score centuries in the same innings?

I don’t think it was Willey and Dilley
