Well Stuart Broad's always capable of making it exciting. Still, got four runs more than he should have... make that eight.

Broad exceeds his average, in dubious but effective style.

Enjoy! And avoid the potential political idiocy just brewing on the Cricinfo chat...

I stand corrected on Broad/Wood, apparently.

That was a beautiful 10th wicket partnership. Thoroughly enjoyable.

SA lost their heads massively, should've been bowling just outside off for about 40 mins rather than trying to take their heads off. Big bonus for England those 50 odd runs

Two batsmen to get out here: Elgar and Amla. The rest should capitulate readily-ish if they fall quickly.

Cannot believe they are discussing why Rashid isn't in the team instead of Dawson, it's like they don't even bother following county cricket or reading the Live county pages either......more relevant question is why not another bat, followed by why Gary Ballance again, followed by well if not GB who the frig bats at 3, then the who should open with Cook and finally, when is Mick Hunt going to get his arse kicked over the sodding Lords' pitches of the past ever.

Moeen Ali: Second fastest Englishman to 2000 test runs and 100 test wickets. Handy player.

Moe may not be a full-time spinner, but he's a very very useful part-time one.
Pierre, some people just don't know how to spend their time. A shame.

Oh this is not going to be a good tour for South Africa.

Bavuma is a good player, but far from convinced he'd get a look in if it wasn't for quotas.
