Oval Test

[Altobelli]

Elgar get his hundred.

South Africa 169 for 6

[Altobelli]

Second hat-trick chance in this innings with Roland-Jones following on from Stokes --not often that that happens in Test cricket.
Still some hard work to get through to win this match.

Elgar the only one being stubborn Sub, especially after being peppered yesterday he's showing the way.

[Altobelli]

Elgar's stubborn but excellent innings comes to an end for 136, caught Stokes bowled Moeen.

SA 252 for 8

[Altobelli]

Rabada goes first ball again caught Stokes bowled Moeen, Moeen now on a hat trick.

[Altobelli]

Moeen on a hat trick and its on review as umpire's finger does not go up for lbw.. . . . no bat.... . its out, first hat rick for an English spinner since 1938

England win by 239 runs

[Altobelli]

Ben Stokes gets MOTM ahead of Cook, Elgar, Roland-Jones and Moeen.

Sets things up nicely for Old Trafford.
Stokes innings was the game changer, though the RoJo wickets must have been almost as good.
Test match hat tricks are like hens teeth
Been out so will have to make do with highlights.

I missed the final session because I had to go out.
So Moeen ended up with a hat-trick to win the game. I said that it was unusual for two bowlers in the same innings in Test cricket to have a chance of a hat-trick, however, three must be some sort of record, particularly when the last one achieved his objective.
Looking forward to the Old Trafford test now because this series has been topsy turvy to say the least.
