    Six down before start of play and still continue the Bazball style that hasn't worked in this innings. Today should have been more the old sensible and slower style to give the bowlers something to work with.

    The 4 man tail have scored more than the 4 main batters (Pope excluded). I hope we've been practicing a rain dance.

    The main plus for England I think is that South Africa went with four seamers and a spinner, so don't have a very strong batting line up.

    I’ve only just realised that they haven’t played Harmer !
    Someone may prove me wrong but he’s had a belting summer over here hasn’t he ?

    May only need 2 batsmen to equal the score!

    100+ lead, that bit of initiative we had hadn't lasted long!

    Do you want to change your statement that they haven’t a strong batting line up to include “ theoretically” ?

    Crawley gone, as the commentators said, time for the selectors to put him out of his misery.

    Had more chances than anyone.

    I'd give his Kent team mate Ben Compton a chance.

    Mark Butcher talks a lot of sense.

    I think English Cricket is being badly let down - by the English weather, where's the rain when we need it?

    It's been that a long time. Having a SR in the 50s won't keep you your place in Bazball either.

    Total 5hite. I don't think South Africa will have to bat again. The batsman look clueless against Maharajah.

    Good spinner but making him look like Shane Warne in his prime.

    I think we're buckling to scoreboard pressure. Looking at it as a deficit rather than saying if we get 360 it gives us something to bowl at. Now we've lost two batsman I'd try and push the game on. They haven't the gumption to play percentage cricket. Gunna need some Bazball now. Hopefully a couple of partnerships will make a game of it.
