Silly shot from Ben…..

Possibly going for quick runs?

Collated his runs pretty quickly in test match terms, but I take your point.

Geoff Boycott thinks so…….

Be nice to get at least a 50 run lead

The expert on getting quick runs!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

How does Crawley keep getting picked? It can't be the runs he scores.

I wonder if any previous tests have had the first innings last the same length - 36 overs and 2 balls in this case.

England should win from here though - difficult to see how SA could win.

350 be nice but can see us getting all out for 200

Did I mention optimism :-(

South African batsmen learn from their mistakes/England bowlers aren't as on it - then England batsmen bat the same way. Not saying it will happen, but that's literally the script for how SA win

Reasonable assessment. Not a lot of brains in the England side.
