Really?? FFS how pathetic
Lunch in the 3rd test and it’s 61-0, England won the toss and decided to bat…
Well, that’s an excellent session from England. Not exactly motoring along, but they hardly need to on a very sluggish deck. Nothing for South Africa to work with, and they’ll already been resigned to a long afternoon. They’ve kept a handle on the run-rate, with Maharaj’s spin causing a few moments of disquiet, But it’s slim pickings after another important lost toss. Back in 30 for the resumption.
Sibley gifts his wicket for 36. Currently 74-1
