Big fan of Gary Ballance but that will be that for him with his Test career. As for Jennings, big question mark over him too for me. Hasn't looked comfortable in 3 innings. Needs Cook & Root in all the way to Tea to save this test match. Never been a fan of Ballance in the test arena, he doesn't have the technique required at the highest level. One of a numerous amount of batsmen who, over the years, score heavily in county cricket but don't make the step up. Massive shame if you ask me! Root gone now too...off stump went flying!

That was a good delivery. The form of our top order is a worry. Can't rely on Root and to a lesser extent Cook all the time.

Best ball of the series that so far! Cook needs a score today...if anything to get his test confidence back up again. Started off County season really well but just of late hasn't done much.

Ballance is hopeless.
if only we had a world class number 3 who could play instead.
oh hang on. we have. but we sacked him because he doesn't get on with Andrew Strauss.

Watched a video of KP in the nets earlier this morning... The way he hits a Cricket ball is sexy.

A 250 run partnership between Stokes and Ali would see us back in the game. C'mon England.

South Africa have bowled really well so far. We're fucked when Rabada comes in for the next test match.

Ali reviewed for caught behind, nothing concrete Next ball SA reviewed for run out, OK Next ball Ali stupid shot to a fielder who's literally just been moved.
Throwing wickets away galore here.

As bad as i've seen England play this, an utter shambles. Just sen the Cook wicket which i missed earlier, what the fuck was that all about? i'd have been disappointed with that when i used to play.

Whilst it looks bad it was a brilliant ball from Morris. He almost got Stokes with a similar ball. You've got to give credit to the bowler there.

Root rattled already by Micael Vaughan's comments. He needs to wake up quickly, that performance yesterday was pathetic. Take the criticism and let your players have it. Covering up that performance will do you no favours.

Covering up that performance will do you no favours. Got a link? Graeme Swann laid into him the other day as well...but I'd take what that twat says with a pinch of salt. Cunt.
