Third Test. SA v England. Jo'burg, Jan 14-18

[mikesiva]

Another failure by van Zyl...time for Stephen Cook to get a chance?

[Arthur Crabtree]

With how Finn has bowled in the series, looks like he's nailed the third seamer spot ahead of Woakes and Wood. The press were saying he wouldn't have played in the first Test if Anderson had been fit.

Good for Warks and Durham.

[mikesiva]

Moeen gets rid of Elgar, just short of a half-century....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Why do the commentators keep saying there's no swing? There's been swing all day. They just did a slo-mo on Broad swinging the ball five minutes ago. Smith, this morning talked about Anderson swinging the ball away from left handers, and then a minute later said there's no swing!

Wicket... for the spinner.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big wicket, the next one.

Decent effort for Elgar, but he's gout out around the forties a few times now.

beauty from finn to get amla

he has bowled very well again today

another wicket and we are in to the inexperienced lower order

[backfootpunch]

finn making du plessis look like chris martin

two absolute rippers

[Aidan11]

Looks like it's been hard work for our bowlers today.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Finn apart, they haven't bowled that well. He's been unlucky. His post lunch spell was especially good.

[Aidan11]

Well done Ben. Big wicket that.

[sussexpob]

Ironically, Stokes has bowled well throughout the innings, but both wickets are from rare nonthreatening balls.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Ben! Gets ADDV. Golden arm. Nearly got that average below 40.

Plenty of starts from SA, but not much cashing in. 250 could be a good total though.

[mikesiva]

Not a particularly good shot for a captain to play, given the state of the game....

[backfootpunch]

what sort of shot was that

if that was an england player i would be booking a flight to south africa to berate him

[Dr Cricket]

Poor innings from du plesis
