Currently the afternoon session of the Boxing Day test at Centurion (somehow they’ve ruined it to call it SuperSport park).

Saffers in batting and are 111-4

And as I type this du Plessis edges to Root in the slips, 111-5, Nelson strikes again.

De Kock with some fine strokes deep into the covers… followed by a little tickle off the edge

Curran has got de Kock 5 short of his century, good bowling…

Rory Burns has injured his ankle playing footy and is doubtful.

18

Bring in a hypnotist, convince Burns that he’s Gordon Greenidge and watch him score a double ton in boundaries. Sorted.
