Lees goes after 13 off six balls.

Not a fan of Geoff Boycott maybe.

I'm hoping to get him back for the last couple of CC matches

although not as much as I'm hoping for Harmer to be back, but for entirely different reasons

Certainly is in September!

India scored plenty in a first innings, but the last 4/5 have been a struggle.

"I look at a guy like Zak and his skillset is not to be a consistent cricketer. He's not that type of player.

"He's put in that situation because he has a game which, when he gets going, he can win matches for England."

doesn't look as though he's going anywhere, anytime soon

Not happened yet. In fact ZC has been most useful this summer in getting stuck in and seeing off a few overs.

still waiting

Pope's 67 looking really good in a game where 118 plays 154-7

England rather chucked away a chance to take a real grip on the game with some very careless dismissals. Positivity is fine but I reckon they overdid it after tea here : a little odd to see Stokes in particular playing t20 type stuff which really wasn't needed , after he played so sensibly in Manchester , with a calculated start and later acceleration. Not sure why he decided to ditch the method that had worked so well in favour of total swing and hope this time ?

Still in a decent spot. Lead may not stretch too far but in a low scoring affair even 50 or so will put SA under a lot of pressure when they bat again. Pitch should still give the bowlers some help and Robinson & co will probably fancy getting at that fragile batting line-up again even without a prolonged rest. They weren't exactly overworked first time around.

Watching Jansen clearly the pick of the SA bowlers I am even more puzzled as to why he was left out in Manchester...
