Great session and partnership for SA. Surely the declaration isn't coming soon with that sedate batting off Root and Mo.

96 and out for Amla. Will they bat for 40 minutes and then declare?

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 2:44 pm

Shame. Still, great series in the end for Amla.

Feels like England are bowling about a ball a minute.

This is what I really don't like.

Rain. Presumably that's it for the innings.

Unlucky for Amla.

Bavuma gets his half-century....
:clap

Declaration at 248-5, with the rain.

Rabada gets Hales for one!

Not a good start.

If we lose this game it will be the fifth test series in a row where we've lost the last match in the series.

Sorry I meant when!

Good stat!

SA win looks likely. But with rain around tomorrow, it'd be worth England trying to see it out rather than going out there and playing their shots. It's a lot of batting for SA to get through.

Didn't lose the last match to India, but did to SL and Australia, going further back.

Morkel gets Cook, and Rabada gets his second...Compton out.

Yep, the home India series in 2014 nterrupted the run, 7 out of the last 8 series.
