Must admit I never thought that we would make 400. Nice to see Broad make some runs again
88-6 is encouraging. Hard to believe this is more or less the same side that were so abject in the first Test.
Worrying that Archer still troublesd by his injury

Why would you need an Archer in a cricket team?

 He's a young feller..'S only right that he takes the time to heal properly and we do have more than one bowler. ;D 
 400 is a nice total and 88/6 is a sad response.

Why would you need one in a farm?

I don't know, but they seem to want to get in on everything. ;D

I do not understand Root'd tactics. SA lose their seventh wicket to the fifth ball of the moring, he has a bowler capable of 90+ a lead of 300 and he posts two slips!

To reinforce my point - de Kock has just edged through the vacant third slip area!

Got all ten at last - and a well deserved 5-for for Wood

Oh dear. A sad end to a great career - Vernon Philander has a torn hamstring so his Test bowling days are over. Apparently he will bat in the SA innings if needed - but unless there is a miracle, that would just be twisting the knife

Poor old Philander..Sad way to leave Test cricket..

Victory by 191 runs and a 3-1 series result is not to be sneezed at, especially considering how dire England were in the first match. I wonder how much effect the bug had?
I suppose it’s a sign of old age, but it still seems as though Philander has only been around for five minutes. Remember him bursting onto the scene no time at all

He'll not be bursting anywhere anytime soon..I wonder if he skipped a warm-up or something..Yes, fully enjoyed seeing England play so well. Still, it's quite interesting supporting several teams in one and waiting to see which one turns up on the day..Multiple Team Disorder.. ;D
