Dawson goes for a duck England 181 for 7 lead by 278
Broad goes for a duck England 182 - 8 lead by 279
The collapse continues
And that is lunch
Back after lunch and that is the 300 run lead up with 2 wickets still remaining.
Lead creeping up, 314 now. Given that only one team has ever scored more than that to win a Lord’s test (West Indies in 1984, when Gordon Greenidge took the England attack to the cleaners), it’s looking pretty good for England. If the last two wickets can add another 20 or 30 runs that would be great, but even without that we should have enough on the board to win this, given how the pitch is playing.
227 -9 wood goes for 28 England lead by 324
And that’s 233 all out - Bairstow stumped for an excellent 51. I reckon a target of 331 is going to be very difficult to get.
Bairstow out for 51 England all out 233
SA need 331 to win
That is ggoing to be difficult on this pitch and we have enough time to bowl them out.
And it’s 12/2 after 9.1 overs, Kuhn taken by Anderson and Elgar by Moeen. Nice.
Back to the cricket to help England and especially Liam Dawson get a very crucial wicket in Amla 
SA 30-4
Come on England.
I was off helping Hamilton get further up to 4th whils also helping Froome get a third in the tour poor old Porte crashing out as well as Thomas after crashes.

SA now 42-4…England could win this tonight with a couple more quick wickets. 
SA 65-5…another wicket for Moeen.
SA 72 -7 Moeen gets another
With an Englishman and a Welshman onboard our little SA friends offshore will take some ribbing in the morning.
Dawson doing a splendid job at one end…putting lots of pressure on the batsmen.
Although some bad luck coupled with poor batting by SA
Dawson has more than bowled well…but maybe a little batting practice before he comes to the second test.
And another one goes to Moeen SA 82 - 8 the extra half hour comes into play if needed
He can do that Monday as he wont be doing anything else
